digital commerce

Internet-based buying selling

Digital commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services through electronic channels—websites, apps, and online platforms.

The term encompasses more than just retail transactions, extending to digital payments, online marketplaces, subscription services, and business-to-business exchanges.

Digital commerce has transformed how companies reach customers.

Often shortened to d-commerce or used interchangeably with e-commerce, though digital commerce sometimes implies a broader scope including mobile and social media transactions.
