It can also be understood as trading activities and related services in the form of electronic transactions on the Internet, intranet and value-added network.

Extended information:

The development trend of e-commerce is as follows:

1. It has a broader environment: people are not limited by time, space or traditional shopping, and can trade online anytime and anywhere.

2. It has a broader market: the world will become very small on the Internet. A merchant can face consumers all over the world, and a consumer can shop at any merchant in the world.

3. It has faster circulation and low price: E-commerce reduces the intermediate links of commodity circulation and saves a lot of expenses, thus greatly reducing the cost of commodity circulation and transaction.
