E-commerce is becoming very popular in many countries around the world thanks to its advantages in areas such as time savings, convenient transactions, and cost optimisation while the traditional ways of introducing products can take a long time to reach the desired market, leading to higher costs and reduced quality. Therefore, the application of e-commerce in business activities is an indispensable and practical trend in Vietnam. It can be seen that e-commerce platforms have brought positive results to many enterprises, especially for those of small and medium sizes.
