Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-commerce or eCommerce, or e-business consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. The amount of trade conducted electronically has grown extraordinarily with widespread Internet usage. Many companies who sell products have increased their sales regionally, nationally and internationally by selling online using e-commerce.
A large percentage of e-commerce is conducted entirely electronically for virtual items such as access to premium content on a website, but most e-commerce involves the sale and shipment of physical items in some way. Online retailers are sometimes known as e-tailers and online retail is sometimes known as e-tail. Almost all big retailers have an electronic commerce presence on the web.
Electronic commerce that is conducted between businesses is referred to as business-to-business or B2B. B2B can be open to all interested parties (e.g. commodity exchange) or limited to specific, pre-qualified participants (private electronic market). Electronic commerce that is conducted between businesses and consumers, on the other hand, is referred to as business-to-consumer or B2C. Online shopping is a form of electronic commerce where the buyer is connected online to the seller’s store via the internet. There is no intermediary service. The sale and purchase transaction is completed electronically and interactively in real-time.
E-commerce is generally considered to be the sales aspect of e-business. It also consists of the exchange of data to facilitate the financing and payment aspects of the business transactions.
