What is Digital Commerce?
Digital commerce is buying and selling goods electronically through the internet. There are tools that help keep people safe when they are buying, selling, banking, or using money on the internet.
Example #1
A student really wants to buy a new toy, but their parent said that they already have a lot!
The student has the idea that they can sell some of their old toys that they do not play with anymore to get rid of some and raise money for the new toy.
They ask their parent to help them sell them online so that more people can see that they are for sale.
They work together to post the sales on an internet site!
First, they make sure that the website is safe to use. They do not want someone to steal their information and money. It it important to do your research to find a safe website when it is dealing with money!
The website is safe and they make their sales! The student got their new toy!
Example #2
Online shopping is super popular! It is easy, fast, and saves time!
However, it is very important to be careful about which websites you are buying things from.
Many popular websites are trustworthy because many people have bought from them with no problems.
But, not every website is safe to use money on. Many websites will take your banking information or money and never send what you bought. They just steal money.
It is very important to do a little bit of research before buying from just any website. Look out for reviews from other buyers!
