E-commerce, e-business or electronic business operations is the conduct of trading through computer networks like the Internet or an Extranet. When you think of e-commerce, you think about buying products on the Internet. This is largely the case, but there is much more to this term. The e in e-commerce, as in e-book and e-mail, stands for electronic, so e-commerce can be translated as electronic trading. The concept of e-commerce therefore involves all online information gathering, sharing and transactions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rise of e-commerce began in the 70\u2019s, with the first networks to be used by banks to exchange money electronically. Soon after, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), a system of data exchange between companies known in the Fresh Produce industry, was created.

The first online transaction took place in 1994 at a cost of 12.50 US dollars including shipping. This amount is nothing compared to the amounts that are present in the online trade. In 2023, total sales of products through e-commerce worldwide have grown to 6.5 trillion US dollars<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
