In this fast-moving generation, the world of technology has really improved our lives a lot. With the help of the internet, everything is available at your fingertips.

This is being possible only because of the new technologies such as E-Commerce and M-Commerce.
The conversion from the physical store shopping to online shopping might have taken hundreds of years, but the changeover, although partial, from web world (E-commerce) to mobile world (M-commerce) has simply taken place within a decade or two.
M-commerce means operating business transactions on the Internet using mobile devices, while E-commerce means operating business transactions on the Internet using computers or laptops.
M-commerce solution or mobile commerce solution is a growing method of a mercantile system in the recent years. It allows a transaction with just a few tap on your smartphone’s screen and thus opens a new way for people to exchange goods and services.
You can access the shop on mobile devices, which mean anytime and anywhere as long as the Wifi/3G/4G signal is on.
From a survey research, it has been noticed that the number of smartphone users has been increased in the past few years. The crowd is moving more towards the mobile world rather than the web world.
Although web world and mobile world, both the technologies are based on the same fundamental principles, and aim at making consumer lives easier, there are a few key differences between them.
