You can check URL whether it is Secure or not, if the URL is secure then it will contain HTTPS and if it is not then it is HTTP only. Even if it is secure then check whether payment gateway are recognized and reputed or not.
If you are expert in e-commerce. online shopping is best...
Why shouldn't be secured? If you look carefully or buy only from big providers you will have no problem and all will be safe.Quote:

Most of user not found any kind of insecurity but first of all, you should check contact details and communication address at the site. A website with proper communication details would be a safer bet for transaction.
if you are going to shop online on an online store, first of all you have to check that website is safe for you or not. if you see the https on address bar of the browser that means the website is safe for you while your transaction. always be careful while shopping online.

eBay and flipkart are my favourite shopping websites.

Hello Members,
If you are visiting a genuine companies online website, then it is safe otherwise it is not safe. Always hire a best e- shopping sites which are known by people. Online shopping or online retailing is a form of electronic commerce which allows consumers to directly buy goods or services from a seller over the Internet using a web browser. Alternative names are: e-web-store, e-shop, e-store, Internet shop, web-shop, web-store, online store, and virtual store. An online shop evokes the physical analogy of buying products or services at a bricks-and-mortar retailer or shopping center; the process is called business-to-consumer (B2C) online shopping. In the case where a business buys from another business, the process is called business-to-business (B2B) online shopping. The largest of these online retailing corporations are eBay and Amazon.com, both based in the United States. Retail success is no longer all about physical stores, this is evident because of the increase in retailers now offering online store interfaces for consumers. With the growth of online shopping, comes a wealth of new market footprint coverage opportunities for stores that can appropriately cater to offshore market demands and service requirements.
Thanks a Lot :)
PayPal is popular, secure and reliable to pay for your eCommerce purchases.
PayPal is secure and reliable. It is the biggest internet payment gateway.
Hi aanish and hello all,
just go for reliable and renowned e-commerce sites.
Sites will sustain only if they have secured payment transactions, else will just disappear.. some sites allow COD too
There are payment gateways in the market which are secure like paypal, EBS payment, securepay and many more. and, many of the good websites are having these type of payment gateways and some give you the facility of cash on delivery. It is safe to shop online.
To my opinion e-shopping security is based on platform it is built on. For eg Magento and open cart is highly secure, Joomla is occasionally vulnerable to attacks and Magento is highly secured and hardly vulnerable to attacks. According to me, to share our credit card information the site should be trust worthy else we wont. But sites built on Magento has some security measures like: Managing password and names, Secured FTP, Customize URL in control panel access, constant updates and so on.

E-commerce is secured however it depends upon the sites and vendors you are dealing with...
I think the safety of online shopping is determined by the website from which you plan to store from. If the website is trust worthy, online shopping is a excellent process of shopping as the items get availed to us at a less expensive rate than available at markets around us.
Hi,
i am agree with above answer.thanks for share
Online shopping at reputable sites is far more safer than handing over your card to someone you don't know, or using your card in a machine that could potentially have been compromised.
For me, in the event that you shop on trusted buying sites in that case your transaction will be definitely secure. There are numerous good e- purchasing internet site and both e-shopping sites that i understand are: auction web sites and Amazon . com. This two shopping sites will be the most trusted & most popular in all around the world.
Online shopping is great. It’s fast, less time-consuming, offers a huge selection and usually even better prices, however there’s major threats out there that buyers are usually not aware of.
Fake stores. There are huge amount of fake stores that lure internet users with their overwhelmingly low prices.
Not only they will not send you the product you will pay for, they might as well steal and sell your Credit Card’s info to the 3rd parties.
To prevent from being a fake store victim:
Make sure the link of the shop you are at is always https and not http;
Do not enter your CC details if you are unsure about the legitimacy of the shop;
Google the reviews. You will either find that it’s a scam site or a legitimate one.
Malware. Viruses like key-loggers track every click you make on your computer, thus capturing your CC details is as easy as taking a lollipop from a child.
To prevent from being a malware victim:
Do not go to shady sites. Don’t click on random banners that promise you free iPhones and all. Use an Adblock software like uBlock. Do not click on any link without being 100% sure about it’s source;
Use protection! No, seriously. Your parents might have told you that a hundred times, but they’re right. Get an anti-virus software and a VPN. You might think you don’t need one if you got the common-sense, but times are advancing and so is malware.

There are daily stories of online fraudsters and hackers, but the truth is that cybercriminals are less likely to get a hold of your credit card details over the Internet than they are over the phone, through the mail or in a restaurant. Even so, safe online shopping requires an extra measure of vigilance.
