Understanding Online Commerce

Online commerce is the buying and selling of products and services over the internet. This means you can shop for goodspay bills, and even conduct banking transactions just by using your computer or smartphone. Here are the key elements:

  • Buying: Customers use online platforms (like websites or apps) to purchase goods or services.
  • Selling: Businesses present their products online for customers to buy.
  • Payment: Secure electronic payment methods are used for transactions.
  • Delivery: Products are shipped to the buyer or digital products are delivered online.

Ecommerce businesses like Amazon and Shopify have transformed the way people shop, making it easier for both consumers and businesses.
