m-commerce

Smartphone retail transactions

M-commerce is commercial transactions conducted through mobile devices—smartphones, tablets, and similar handheld technology.

Short for mobile commerce, the term distinguishes purchases and payments made on the go from traditional e-commerce on desktop computers: M-commerce has made impulse buying easier than ever.
