    That depends, are you selling more than 1 item on your site using a shopping cart? If so, then it's called ecommerce. Single item sites I don't know about. But I would think, since they are selling SOMETHING electronically, it's ecommerce. Good luck and all the best to you.

    An ecommerce site is a site that sells products online. Affiliate links on a website does not make that website an ecommerce site.

    To me an e-commerce website is a site with shopping carts that allows their customers to place order and buy their preferred choice of products.

    e-commerce website = electronic commerce website

    Electronic commerce means selling/buying products/services over electronic systems - example: Over the internet (website)
    e-commerce website has a shopping cart + secure payment processing mechanism.

    No, affiliate links will not make your website an ecommerce site.
