What Is It?
E-commerce is a commercial transaction between
buyer and seller that occurs online instead of in person or over the
phone. The customer uses a credit card, check/debit card, purchasing
card, or a check to pay for goods or services on a Web site. Secure
electronic payments are spreading beyond the Internet to mobile handsets
and television set-top boxes. Look for m-commerce and t-commerce next.
E-commerce also refers to electronic payment
processing. Instead of going to the bank with deposits and checks or
connecting over dial-up telephone lines to authorize credit cards, merchants
use the Internet to connect to financial networks for payment.
