Apparatus and method for internet commerce

In order to construct a shopping mall on the Internet, if the basic system for product list, account management, order processing, deposit processing, delivery, and CS processing is not properly equipped, shopping mall operation cannot be performed smoothly, and a separate system development is required. .

The shopping mall has its own basic system shopping mall, and the shopping mall to manage the list of goods, payment, delivery, etc. in a separate agency system, the mall provider using the agency system directly manages the profits of the sale price of goods In fact, some divisions of profits are paid from the agency system.

On the other hand, its own shopping mall has the advantage that the product sales profit leads to direct sales, but because it must provide an integrated system such as product list, payment, shipping, general companies that want to introduce e-commerce has a disadvantage that is not easily accessible. In addition, since the product list is maintained by itself without sharing the product with other shopping malls, there is a problem that a product seller has to register a product separately for each shopping mall.

In addition, since a unique product list DB and its own shopping mall sites with a delivery and payment system have separate product list DBs, it is not easy to link joint events such as joint purchases, limited sales, and special offers. Synergistic effect of the liver is less.

The present invention relates to electronic commerce, and more particularly, to a shopping mall agency electronic commerce system and method.

The present invention to achieve the above object is a user terminal capable of connecting to the Internet network; A plurality of affiliate server having a shopping mall site on the Internet; A product list DB accessible through the Internet, a plurality of management servers managing the shopping mall sites of each affiliate server, and a cash transfer function associated with each affiliate server to handle payment processing generated at each shopping mall site; A management company server having a card processing function capable of processing a user's card under the name of the affiliated company, and having a plurality of payment servers transmitting payment completion information to the corresponding management server after the payment is processed; It includes a delivery agency server that is responsible for the information on the delivery sent from the management server, the user terminal connected to the shopping mall site provided by the partner server server one or more of the product list DB of the management server When the product transaction is selected and the payment is made through the payment server of the management company server, the management server of the management company server obtains a list of products that the user has applied for through the shopping mall site of the affiliate server. The present invention provides an electronic commerce system that aggregates and transmits a list of users who have applied for a purchase to the delivery agency server.

It is preferable that the management company server is responsible for not only delivery but also information processing on return, exchange, refund processing and the like.

In the present invention, when the management server of the management company server displays a specific web page on the shopping mall site with information on the sale or purchase of a specific product on the shopping mall site of each affiliate server, the affiliate through the user terminal When a specific web page provided by the management company server is selected by accessing a shopping mall site provided by the company server, information of the specific web page selected by each affiliate company is transmitted to the management server of the management company server and counted.

The specific web page contains information on joint purchases, discount sales, limited sales, etc., and it is possible to simultaneously proceed on the shopping mall site of other affiliates for events conducted by a specific affiliate.

The present invention is a user terminal 100 connected to the Internet network; A plurality of affiliate server 200 having a shopping mall site 210 on the Internet, a product list DB 310 accessible on the Internet, a management server 320 for managing the shopping mall site of each affiliate and a specific partnership A management company server 300 having a payment server 330 for processing a payment generated in a shopping mall of a company; It includes a delivery agency server 400 for processing information about the delivery for the selected article.

The user terminal 100 is a terminal that supports wired or wireless Internet communication, and includes various means having a function of accessing the Internet as well as a general computer. In the system according to the present invention, the user operates the affiliated company. It has a user interface, that is, a web browser program, that accesses a shopping mall, requests product purchases, and processes payment information. Affiliate server 200 of the present invention has a separate shopping mall site 210, but all the substantial content that is operated in the shopping mall site 210 management server 320 and product list DB (the management company server 300) ( 310 and the payment server 330.

That is, the product list displayed on the shopping mall site 210 is all stored in the product list DB 310 of the management company server 300, and the web pages of the shopping mall site 210 are all managed by the management company server 300. Controlled by the server 320.

The affiliate server 200 receives a product order from the user terminal through its shopping mall site 210, but the actual order is entered into the management server of the management server server. In addition, when there is an order request, the management server runs the payment server of the affiliate company, and transmits the relevant web page to the web browser of the user terminal.

However, if there is a purchase request by selecting one or more of the product list stored in the product list DB 310 of the management company server 300 displayed on the shopping mall site 210 through the user terminal 100, the management. The server 320 transmits a payment related web page to a web browser of the user terminal 100 by linking a payment server 330 related to the affiliate server 200.

The payment method performed by the payment server 330 can be applied to the usual methods such as card, electronic money, cash transfer, and only payment processing is performed in the name of the affiliate server 300 as the core of the present invention. To this end, the payment server 330 has a VAN connection function that can be processed in the name of the affiliate server 200, and the bank account related information of the affiliate server 200. In this case, when the payment is made by the card, the payment is immediately confirmed by the VAN company, but in the case of cash, the affiliate server 200 confirms the deposit and sends the deposit confirmation signal to the payment server 330 of the management company.

The product list and the user terminal information processed in the payment server 330 is aggregated by the management server 320 and transmits the delivery related information to the delivery agency server 400.

The management company server is building a product list DB by a pre-contract, etc. with the suppliers that provide the actual goods, it is more preferable to make the delivery of goods through a server managed by a delivery agency such as a courier company.

Since the product list DB of the management company server is shared with the shopping mall site of each affiliate server by each management server, it is possible to support a system for joint purchase, limited sale, special sale, etc. jointly with each affiliate company. And, the purchase information of each shopping mall site through the user terminal is aggregated to the management company server through each management server, it is possible to manage the joint event.

On the other hand, prior to performing the electronic commerce according to the present invention, the administrator of the partner server and the manager of the management server includes a preparatory step of making a contract. A manager of the affiliate server (hereinafter referred to as an affiliate company) and a manager of the manager server (hereinafter referred to as a management company) enter into a contract for a shopping mall, design a screen of a shopping mall provided on the Internet, It includes the steps of establishing, which is managed by the management server of the management server.

In the card payment function, the VAN company associated with the affiliated company is connected to process the real-time payment in the name of the affiliated company, and in the case of cash payment, transfer to the bank account of the affiliated company's name.

When the transfer is made by cash payment, the affiliated company notifies the management company that the cash payment is processed by performing a secure check function on the payment related web page.

In this way, if the payment processing is made in the payment server (S40), the management server transmits the information about the goods, the delivery address, the buyer, etc. to the delivery agency (S50).

At this time, the delivery information may be transmitted online or offline to a delivery agency server having a delivery agency.

Incidentally, when the user requests a return, exchange or refund for the goods that have been delivered, if the user receives the management server, the delivery agency contacts the delivery agency again to process the return or exchange.
