ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF ONLINE

SHOPPING
 What is ONLINE SHOPPING?
Online shopping is a form of electronic commerce
which allows consumers to directly buy goods or
services from a seller over the Internet using a web
browser or a mobile app. Consumers find a product of
interest by visiting the website of the retailer directly
or by searching among alternative vendors using a
shopping search engine, which displays the same
product's availability and pricing at different e-
retailers. As of 2020, customers can shop online using
a range of different computers and devices, including
desktop computers, laptops, tablet computers and
smartphones
