Difference between ecommerce sites and others.

It is my understanding that the difference between ecommerce web sites and other types of sites is that they are set up with a shopping cart or some type of method to sell via credit cards. I do not see much if any difference in how it is designed unless you are going to have product displays. I have had a merchant account system and found doing affiliate marketing where someone else provides the shopping cart and products lets me spend more time on content and promoting my site.
