ECommerce can be applied within a website in a number of ways from a simple PayPal button to a full blown eCommerce solutions.
How eCommerce is added to the website will depend on the platform the website is built. Joomla! and WordPress have some great eCommerce extensions, and the Pro version of WebMatix has a simple shop add-on.
