electronic commerce
Internet-based buying/selling
Electronic commerce is buying and selling goods and services over the internet.
The term emerged in the 1990s as online shopping became viable, though it now sounds somewhat dated—most people just say e-commerce or simply talk about shopping online.
It encompasses everything from retail websites to business-to-business transactions to digital payments.
