E-commerce is the general term
for online sales of products or

services. E-commerce, in its
most basic form, is the
electronic transmission of
money and data between two
or more parties. Since its birth
in the 1960s with electronic
data interchange and the
advent of online purchasing in
the 1990s, this type of business
has undergone significant
evolutions.

Due to consumers being able to
shop from almost anywhere
thanks to the proliferation of

smartphones in recent years, e-
commerce has seen
tremendous growth. In fact,
according to industry analysts,
mobile e-commerce alone will
top $284 billion in 2020.

However, E-commerce websites

enable customers and businesses
to purchase and sell to one
another on a specific platform,
much like a conventional physical
retail store. However, the major

distinction between e-commerce
and physical commerce is that e-
commerce transactions take

place fully online as opposed to
at a physical location.
