The short answer
E-commerce is selling over the internet: the customer picks the product from a store, an app or a chat, pays online or on delivery, and the order arrives by shipping. Its types include business-to-consumer, business-to-business, and selling from social networks and chats.

Why does E-commerce matter to a seller?
Because it opens customers beyond your area and city, at a lower start-up cost than a shop. In the Arab market much of it runs on cash on delivery and chatting before buying, so fast replies and confirmation before shipping are part of the trade itself.
