A Transaction website is a website where a transaction is carried out between the customer and company from either goods or services. A transaction website has to collect details of the customer and collect the payment.
This is a screenshot of the homepage of play.com. As you can see from the homepage it is very similar to Amazon but play.com is a smaller website compared to Amazon, but in a few years to come play.com will grow even bigger with selling more goods and it will start to sell services to people online which will grow the company even bigger. As you can see there are Christmas offers and also it shows you pick of the week, which encourages the user to look on that pick, also there is a search facility, and there are many other advertisement articles around the page.
This is a screen shot of Tesco homepage, as you can see it has many different options that the user can take, at the top of the page there is the goods that a customer can buy and also the services that the user can take up. Also you can access you club card if you have one and also there are many other things you can do at the bottom of the page.

For UK users you can order things online form the UK and the items you buy will come quick, also you can buy things off the Amazon.com and they come from America.
