The volume of electronic trading has experienced a significant surge due to the widespread adoption of the Internet. Commerce is executed by leveraging and stimulating advancements in several areas such as electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data exchange (EDI), inventory management systems, and automated data gathering systems. Contemporary electronic commerce commonly relies on the utilisation of the World Wide Web during various stages of a transaction's lifespan.
