e-retailing

Internet-based commerce

E-retailing is the selling of goods and services over the internet—electronic retailing.

The term covers everything from major online marketplaces to small shops with web storefronts.

It has largely given way to simpler terms like online shopping or e-commerce, though it still appears in business and academic contexts.
