An electronic storefront is the Web-equivalent of a showroom or a physical store. Through the electronic storefront, an e-business can display and/or sell its products. Hundreds of thousands of solo storefronts can be found on the internet, each with its own Internet name and EC portal. Called electronic storefronts,they may be an extension of physical stores, or they may be new businesses started by entrepreneurs who saw a niche on the Web, such as Amazon.com, CDNow, Uvine.com, and Restaurant.com. Besides being used by retailers, such as Officedepot.com, storefronts also are used by manufacturers, such as Dell.com. Retailers' and manufacturers' storefronts may sell to individuals and/or to organizations.

An electronic mall, also known as a Cybermall or e-mall, is a collection of individual shops under one Internet address. The basic idea of an electronic mall is the same as that of a regular shopping mall to provide a one-stop shopping place that offers many products and services.

Two types of malls exist. First, there are referral malls, such as hawaii.com. You cannot buy in such a mall, but instead you are transferred to a participating storefront. In the second, more traditional type of mall, such as at store.yahoo.com, you can actually make a purchase. At this type of mall, you might shop from a variety of stores, but are able to make only one purchase transaction at the end
