Residential e-commerce, also called house e-commerce, is the name given to the market for selling prefabricated houses from a virtual store. In Brazil, several projects stand out in this field, including Espaço Smart, for example.
This type of store functions like a regular online store, meaning it has a storefront , a "buy" button, and a virtual shopping cart. Therefore, any customer can enter, select a house, proceed to checkout, and complete the payment. Then, they just wait for the installation or for the parts to be shipped for self-assembly.
