What is eCommerce?

eCommerce

eCommerce is a generic term used to describe any transactions that take place over the Internet. The roots of the word are similar to that of the word "email;" it is a conglomeration of the term "electronic" and "commerce."

eCommerce development has become an extremely large industry, and most major retailers have both an offline and online option for purchasing their goods. In some cases, individuals have more options to purchase goods from an online store than in the offline store, because an online store can display the inventory from all of the offline stores combined, not just what is in stock at a local store.
