Abstract: Abstract E-commerce has a three-tier system model. These three tiers refer to three main components viz. Client side, server side, and the connecting bridge which is known as Internet. These three make an e-commerce system model. However, for fulfilling any order, we need to integrate other systems as well such as supplier system, warehouse system, logistics system, etc. In such a scenario, the web browser is the interfacing page which is the client interfacing page. This also called the graphic user interface. The back end tier is the combination of data and application server, where all business logic and database are stored. To connect these two tiers, Internet becomes the middle tier that allows the users to connect through the Internet, which acts as a medium. As the clients and application servers are connected to the Internet, there is a need to arrange a rule-based system that will allow each of these tiers to ‘talk’ to each other. These rules are ‘protocols’ that allow these talks to happen through certain processes. This protocol is called the hypertext transfer protocol. The Internet and application server form the basic infrastructure for the e-commerce system.
