WHAT IS E-COMMERCE 2. WHAT IS E-BUSINESS 3. GENERAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE TWO MODELS So, let's go!
1. WHAT IS E-COMMERCE E-commerce is an abbreviation of the English term electronic commerce, which in Portuguese means “electronic commerce”. E-commerce refers to commercial transactions carried out completely online.
For example: buying a product on a website, over the internet. This applies to the entire purchase process, from choosing the product or service by the customer, to finalizing the order with payment. All of this is done digitally.
As an example, we can mention marketplaces. Like Mercado Livre, Amazon, Magazine Luiza, among others. Or even private label sites that sell their products on the internet.
In e-commerce, the only part that requires anything from the physical world is logistics. That is, the process of transporting the purchased product to consumers. But in some cases, even this logistics is not necessary.
When it comes to digital products, such as e-books, online courses or movies, for example, this logistics is done digitally as well. Where it usually sends a link to download a product or digital access to access content purchased online.

In other words, it represents a fully digital business model. As an example, we can mention streaming platforms such as Netflix. Or even Google, Youtube and distance education platforms too.
And unlike e-commerce, which focuses on online transactions, e-business encompasses the entirety of its operations in the digital environment. From interactions with the public to the provision of services and all negotiation steps that support the business as a whole. Furthermore, the concept of e-business is essential for companies that want to transform their operating scenario.
Through the advantages provided by technology and the connectivity and integration of networks in business. Because the scope of e-business goes beyond the mere exchange of information related to products and services with customers and suppliers. In this context, it involves the use of the Internet to transfer information between employees who operate internal systems, business partners, branches, customers, suppliers, remote users and the general public.
In addition, e-business encompasses the automation of internal and other processes. In this way, it allows company managers focused on e-business to direct their efforts towards business growth through the application of information and technology. 3.
GENERAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE TWO MODELS In general, we can say that e-commerce and e-business end up intersecting and complementing each other at certain times. Because e-commerce has characteristics of a digital business. Like virtual stores, which are growing more and more.
However, e-commerce can be understood as electronic commerce. And e-business with an electronic business. Therefore, e-business is something more encompassing in the digital environment.
That is, e-commerce can be seen as a part of e-business. Even because an e-business does not necessarily need to have a commercial transaction between companies and customers. In addition, e-business addresses other fronts in addition to customers.
As employees, suppliers, branches, business partners, among others. In other words, e-business is not limited to financial transactions or buying and selling products and services. Which is what e-commerce does.
Precisely for this reason, e-commerce can be seen as a stage or part of e-business.
