- Q: What are some examples of e-Commerce applications?
- A: E-commerce applications are online platforms that enable businesses to sell their products or services to customers over the internet. Some examples of e-commerce applications include:
- Online stores and marketplaces: These are websites that allow businesses to sell their products directly to consumers online. Examples include Amazon, eBay, and Etsy.
- Subscription-based services: These are websites that allow businesses to sell access to digital content or services on a recurring basis, typically through a subscription model. Examples include Netflix, Spotify, and The New York Times.
- B2B marketplaces: These are platforms that facilitate transactions between businesses, rather than between businesses and consumers. Examples include Alibaba and ThomasNet.

- QUOTE:Electronic commerce, commonly known as (electronic marketing) e-commerce or eCommerce, consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks. The amount of trade conducted electronically has grown extraordinarily with widespread Internet usage. The use of commerce is conducted in this way, spurring and drawing on innovations in electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management systems, and automated data collection systems. Modern electronic commerce typically uses the World Wide Web at least at some point in the transaction's lifecycle, although it can encompass a wider range of technologies such as e-mail as well.
A large percentage of electronic commerce is conducted entirely electronically for virtual items such as access to premium content on a website, but most electronic commerce involves the transportation of physical items in some way. Online retailers are sometimes known as e-tailers and online retail is sometimes known as e-tail. Almost all big retailers have electronic commerce presence on the World Wide Web.
Electronic commerce that is conducted between businesses is referred to as business-to-business or B2B. B2B can be open to all interested parties (e.g. commodity exchange) or limited to specific, pre-qualified participants (private electronic market). Electronic commerce that is conducted between businesses and consumers, on the other hand, is referred to as business-to-consumer or B2C. This is the type of electronic commerce conducted by companies such as Amazon.com.
Electronic commerce is generally considered to be the sales aspect of e-business. It also consists of the exchange of data to facilitate the financing and payment aspects of the business transactions.
