What is e-Commerce?

E-Commerce, short for electronic commerce, refers to the buying and selling of goods and services over the internet. It enables businesses and individuals to conduct transactions without the need for a physical storefront. E-Commerce includes various activities, such as:

  1. Online Retail: Selling physical products through platforms or websites.
  2. Service Selling: Offering services, such as consulting or digital marketing, online.
  3. Digital Products: Selling downloadable content, such as eBooks, courses, or software.
  4. Subscriptions: Providing recurring services or products, like streaming or monthly boxes.
  5. Online Marketplaces: Platforms like Amazon or eBay where multiple vendors sell their products.

E-Commerce has transformed how businesses operate, offering convenience, scalability, and global reach for both buyers and sellers.
