Digital marketplace transactions
Ecommerce, also written e-commerce, is the buying and selling of goods and services over the internet.
The term covers everything from massive online marketplaces to small businesses selling handmade items through their websites.
Most of our ecommerce sales come from mobile users.
The rise of ecommerce has transformed retail, enabling consumers to shop from anywhere while forcing traditional brick-and-mortar stores to adapt or close.
