First of all you need to test the basic functionality of the application and then you need to check for your spec. After functionlaity test you need to test for the security of the system. Since it is e-com site you need to test the encryption, ssl, cookies, and other security scenarios.
Compatibity is the next major part for web application.

To test E commerce site thats already all you and so many people daily doing by online purchasing it and you observe so good e commerce site like e bay or amazaon you will automatically get idea how the validation they put and other things so i think you yourself is best guide to test this type of application. so no need to worry.

You need to perform,

# Functional Testing
# Performance Testing
# Security Testing
# Compatibility Testing and
# Usability Testing

All should be tested on user point of view. i.e. similar to UAT.

As for as security testing is concerned  in application side,check the following

Failing to constrain and validate input;
Failing to encode output; and
Trusting data retrieved from a database or cookie.

Basic thing you need to keep in mind while going for E-commerce application is,

Data Security: Since most of the e commerce app accepts online payment, we need to make sure whether payment service is performed through secure site.

Usability: Usability in terms of navigation (example:we need to check whether user can able to place an order with out much difficulty )

Data validity: Since E commerce application deals with others money we need to check the amount calculation whether amount is calculated for each line item. Most importantly you need to create a order for more then one item and then we need to perform some basic calculations like adding few more items to the cart, or deleting the existing item from the chart or modifying the item quantity.

Compatability: you need to test the application in various browsers and various environment (windows or linux)

And of course you need to perform security and load testing

Also do the Negative testing between the integration. Since, if your software is integrated with other 3rd party software then you have to compulsory follow the breaking steps...
