Description

Method for operating electronic commerce system

The present invention relates to a method of operating an electronic commerce system, and more particularly, to a method of operating an electronic commerce system capable of pre-purchase.

Recently, as the number of users using the Internet increases, various e-commerce systems using the same have been developed. In addition, as the center of e-commerce has recently shifted from B2C (corporate → consumer) to B2B (corporate → enterprise), industry-specific e-marketplaces are emerging as a new driving force in the digital economy.

The existing e-commerce system based on B2C performed sales processing for the product when the payment was completed after the end of shopping. That is, when the payment is completed by a payment method such as a card payment or an online deposit payment, a series of processes of sending the corresponding product to the buyer and storing the purchase history are performed.

Figure 1 shows a schematic configuration of the operation method of such a conventional e-commerce system. Referring to Figure 1 describes the operation method of the conventional electronic commerce system as follows. First, when the purchaser 10 connects to the electronic commerce system 20 through a communication network and makes a purchase request (s11) for a desired product, the electronic commerce system 20 only temporarily stores the purchase details. Then, when the purchaser 10 pays for the product (s12), the electronic commerce system 20 finally delivers the product to the purchaser 10 (s13).

On the other hand, Figure 2 is a flow chart of the process for operating such a conventional e-commerce system. Referring to FIG. 2, first, a conventional electronic commerce system provides product information on products sold in the system to users connected through a communication network (S21). Then, at the request of the user through the product search and selection process (s22, s23) to allow the user to perform the desired shopping, the shopping details are stored separately (s24).

On the other hand, when the user ends the shopping (s25), check whether the payment (s26), if the user chooses to pay the payment processing according to the shopping details (s27), and then send the product to the user The sales process is performed (S28). At this time, if the user does not make a payment immediately after finishing shopping (S29).

Therefore, it is not possible to apply such a conventional electronic commerce system when commodity trading between companies that mainly use the post-purchase payment method.

In other words, when a product is traded between companies, the person in charge selects the product and does not buy it immediately, but after obtaining the upper payment, the product must be purchased. Because of this, the exchange rate should be taken into consideration when the person in charge selects the goods and when the actual goods are bought after the payment of the upper part is approved. Due to these problems, in general, off-line price promises and purchases of goods are generally used in commodity trading among companies, and an e-commerce system having various advantages has not been properly applied.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for operating an e-commerce system incorporating a reservation purchase system to solve such a problem.
