Summary: | 碩士 === 樹德科技大學 === 資訊管理系碩士班 === 107 === Due to the increasingly established infrastructure and reduced usage costs, the threshold for entry into e-commerce world is getting lower and lower. Nonetheless, developing a customized and low-cost e-commerce platform is still deemed a difficult task for many micro-enterprises. The purpose of this research is to use open source content management system and its shopping cart extension to provide e-commerce solutions for domestic micro-enterprises.
Based on information technology methodology, this study uses a “system analysis and design” approach to analyze the operational functions, operating methods, management processes, and localization requirements of the software (or service) required by micro-enterprises to operate e-commerce. After the analysis procedure, we investigate published open source software that has been actively updated at home and abroad to find solutions meeting the requirements of “low construction cost” and “ providingbasic needs”.
We use Joomla! and its cart extension: J2Store, and other softwares (online services) to implement the solution and demonstrated the feasibility of using open source software to run an e-commerce platform. This study provides a valuable learning experience for micro enterprises to enter the e-commerce world with low costs.
