When Does a Website Become an Online Store?

Does a website selling only 3 products automatically become an online store?

A website is primarily for presenting your business, while an online store is primarily for selling.

What are the biggest differences between website and an online store?

A website does not automatically become a store just because it offers a few products for sale. It must have specific features, such as:

▶ Shopping Cart

A feature that allows customers to add and remove products as they wish.

▶ Direct Payment Method

The option for customers to make an immediate purchase and pay via credit cards, PayPal, etc.

▶ Inventory Management

Customers can see the real-time stock levels of a product and also if it is out of stock. Inventory updates with every purchase.

▶ Automated Purchase Process

The customer selects a product, specifies delivery, and completes the purchase entirely on their own, without your intervention.

If you want to have these elements on your website, it is no longer just a simple website but an online store.
