Q. What do you mean by a shopping cart & e-commerce and what is OS Commerce?
As the name implies, a shopping cart is just like your regular super market's shopping trolley into which you load stuff that you wish to purchase. When you are done shopping, you go to the till and pay the exact money required to purchase the items in your trolley.
A shopping cart on a website closely resembles the super market's trolley. E.g. if you were on a website like Amazon which is selling products online, you have a look at their catalogue, compare various products and add them to your shopping cart. Once you are done browsing around, you go to the checkout, use a card to pay for the products you have purchased and then await for the products to come by post or courier. So there you have the definition of a shopping cart.
The whole process of setting up an online store which is able to display products, allows for customers to use the shopping cart and allows for checkout is called as e-commerce and the website is called as an online store.
