E-Commerce Businesses
E-commerce business refers to commercial transactions occurring online. In other words, items and services sold and purchased online. With advancements in technology and digital security, it is easier than ever to quickly purchase a product or service online. E-commerce stores offering physical products and items usually have a packaging and delivery service that brings the purchased item to your door with just the click of a button. And this is not limited to local shopping online. E-commerce makes it possible to shop for services and products from across the globe. Additionally, there are platforms that enable customers (not businesses) to sell their stuff as well. Some common e-commerce businesses are:
- Stores selling physical goods with delivery or in-store pick-up or order fulfillment (examples: Amazon, Walmart)
- Service-based: Services sold and bought online from providers such as online consultants, freelancers (examples: people selling services on Fiverr.com)
- Digital products or “e-goods” (examples: Coursera for online courses, Shutterstock for stock photos, Kindle)
