BETWEEN aSTORE and ONLINE SHOPPING

(aSTORE) An example of  aStore is that of aSTORE an Amazon  affiliate product which website owners can use to create an online store on their site. The aStore interface is intended to be accessible to those without programming skills, using configuration pages to customise the content and design.
The store does not allow website owners to sell their own products directly. Website owners pick products from Amazon's store and earn referral fees on the products purchased by their readers.

Online shopping is the process consumers go through to purchase products or services over the internet.  An online shop, eshop, e-store, internet shop,  online store, or virtual store evokes the physical analogy of buying products and services, at bricks and mortar, or in a shopping mall.
The metaphor of an online catalog   is also used, by analogy with mail order catalogs.
