E-commerce, or Electronic Commerce, is an online business model that utilizes information technology and the support of the Internet to conduct transactions such as buying, selling, exchanging, and online payments. E-commerce is a global trend of the era of globalization and represents a potential field for small and medium-sized enterprises to thrive and grow. It also provides opportunities for those who want to start businesses using new models.

The e-commerce business model is considered one of the solutions to drive the development of the national economy. The top three leading e-commerce companies in the world are Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba. In Vietnam, Lazada, Tiki, and Adayroi are among the top companies.
