Impact of E-Commerce

E-Commerce is a short term for Electronic Commerce. It is generally the industry where customers can purchase products or services on an electronic device. This is becoming increasingly convenient as people can purchase items from their own home, and have it delivered within a few days.

This does require more trust and reliability because it is easy for people to cheat and scam others.

The number of E-commerce businesses are increased rapidly, as globalisation has become a more and more significant.
