Digital commerce, or D-commerce, involves the online delivery and sale of electronic products like news, subscriptions, documents, and other digital content. Companies that engage in digital commerce are responsible for payment processing, billing, and refunds. It uses a pay-as-you-go model where customers can purchase content immediately after entering a website with payment information stored. Digital commerce mainly benefits publishers of books, news, magazines and papers by providing an additional avenue for reselling works and generating profit. While convenient for consumers, digital commerce can pose risks like credit card theft that users should be aware of when making online purchases.
