What is e-commerce mainly about?

For Ecommerce sites, what additional revenue options is there other than the headline margin?

  • For a large ecommerce company like http://Amazon.com, I know that they have additional income streams related to their ecommerce business(not talking about AWS or other such things), but income streams purely related to ecommerce. Do they sell analytics to suppliers?  Advertising, etc...  Would like to know all the income streams possible around ecommerce.

  • Answer:

    Not sure what Amazon does per se, and we haven't quite implemented these on our cruelty-free marketplace http://www.forAnima.com but here are some suggestions: licensing, advertising, membership fees for users, fees for spotlighting items.
