Examples of transactional websites:
TESCO, Amazon, Andrews LTD.




Tesco.com is a transactional website mostly selling groceries. The site also sells many other things such as electrical goods, finance and insurance, entertainment, clothing, furniture, etc. To buy, one has to set up an account with TESCO and then proceed to added items to the basket, once all items that are to be bought are in the basket, direct your attention towards the ‘view basket/checkout’ button and click it. Once on this page, checkout and delivery should occur as the details showed when buying the products, not usually longer than a week or so.

Amazon.co.uk is a transactional website that sells nearly everything, including books, movies, music, games, electronics, computers, groceries, toys, jewellery, etc. To buy, first create an account and then either use the search button located near the top or follow the links located on the right hand side. Once the product has been found, add it to the shopping basket and proceed to checkout.

Andrewsltd.co.uk is a smaller transactional website than the two shown before and this one specifically deals with jewellery. It sells rings, earrings, bracelets, pendants, etc. and it also deals with clocks.
There are very few products that are actually available for purchase online in comparison to other transactional websites – there was only 28 items on the day that I had a look (12/12/07)
