E-commerce involves the electronic exchange of goods and services over the internet. It has several categories including B2B (business to business), B2C (business to consumer), C2C (consumer to consumer), and C2B (consumer to business). EDI (electronic data interchange) allows businesses to electronically exchange documents like purchase orders and invoices. A VAN (value added network) is a third party that receives, stores, and sends electronic messages to facilitate EDI between businesses. E-commerce in India has grown rapidly in recent years, especially in online travel and e-tailing.
