Abstract
Commerce has undergone a profound transformation from traditional brick-and-mortar trading to a digital ecosystem driven by technology. It represents a holistic shift in how businesses operate, innovate, and deliver value in a digital world. Digital transformation is not merely about adopting new technologies but also about fundamentally changing business operations and customer interactions in the digital age. This paper explores the gradual transition of commerce from historical roots to electronic commerce (e-commerce) and the key factors influencing this shift. It also examines the economic, social and technological implications, future trends and challenges associated with digital commerce.
Keywords: Traditional commerce, E-commerce, Transition, Implications, Future trends, Challenges.
