Social Commerce vs. E-commerce

[grofee]

While they have their similarities, social commerce and e-commerce are not the same thing. For one, interactions in e-commerce are managed from business websites and other digital platforms such as a unique app. Meanwhile, interactions in social commerce take place only on social networks such as Facebook and Instagram. E-commerce also typically entails several steps, making the buyer's journey longer. With social commerce, a transaction is completed in just three or so steps.
