m-commerce (mobile commerce)
What is m-commerce?
M-commerce (mobile commerce) is the buying and selling
of goods and services through wireless handheld devices
such as smartphones and tablets. M-commerce is a form
of e-commerce that enables users to access online
shopping platforms without the use of a desktop computer.
Over time, content delivery through wireless devices has
become faster, more secure and scalable. As a result,
mobile commerce has grown rapidly.
Examples of m-commerce include in-
app purchasing;
mobile banking
virtual marketplace apps, such as the Amazon mobile app;
and digital wallets, such as Apple Pay, Google Pay and
Samsung Wallet.
Examples of m-commerce use in specific industries
include the following:
 Financial services. Mobile banking and brokerage
transactions are done from mobile devices.
 Telecommunications. Handheld devices are used to
make service changes and bill payments, and to do
account reviews.
 Service and retail. Consumers place and pay for
orders on-the-fly through online stores.
 Information services. Financial, sports, traffic,
weather and many other news updates are accessed
through mobile devices.
Types of m-commerce
M-commerce is categorized based on the following
three basic functions:
Meta rebranded Facebook Pay as Meta Pay, which lets
users pay for digital items in the metaverse.
 Mobile shopping enables customers to buy a
product using a mobile device with an application
such as Amazon or a web app. A subcategory of
mobile shopping is app commerce, which is a
transaction that takes place over a native app.
 Mobile banking is online banking designed for
handheld technology. It enables customers to
access accounts and brokerage services, conduct
financial transactions, pay bills and make stock
trades. This is typically done through a secure,
dedicated app provided by the banking institution.
Mobile banking services may use SMS or chatbots
and other conversational app platforms to send
out alerts and track account activities. For
example, the WhatsApp chatbot lets customers
view their account balance, transfer funds, review
loans and conduct other transactions in real time
through WhatsApp.
 Mobile payments are an alternative to traditional
payment methods, such as cash, check, credit and
debit cards. They enable users to buy products in
person using a mobile device. Digital wallets, such
as Apple Pay, let customers buy products without
swiping a card or paying with cash. Mobile
payment apps, such as PayPal, Venmo and Xoom
serve the same purpose and are popular options.
Mobile consumers also use QR codes to pay for
things on their mobile phones. With mobile
payments, users send money directly to the
recipient's cell phone number or bank account.
How mobile commerce works
With most m-commerce enabled platforms, the
mobile device is connected to a wireless network
that is used to conduct online product purchases
and other transactions.
For those in charge of developing an m-commerce
application, important key performance indicators to
monitor include the following:
 total mobile traffic;
 total application traffic;
 average order value; and
 the value of orders over time.
Similarly, tracking the mobile add-to-cart rate will
help developers see if users are becoming
customers. M-commerce developers may also be
interested in logging average page loading times,
mobile cart conversion rates and SMS subscriptions.
Mobile payment products operate through a form of
peer-to-peer sharing. Once a mobile device is paired
with a user's bank card information, the phone can
be waved over a payment terminal to pay for a
product. Contactless payment using a mobile device
uses near-field communication technology.
M-commerce vs. e-commerce
Electronic commerce, or e-commerce refers to
buying and selling goods and services over the
internet. E-commerce and m-commerce are similar,
but they come with a few distinctions from each
other, such as the following:
Mobility. E-commerce transactions can be
conducted through a desktop computer where the
user is in a fixed spot. This reduces mobility as it can
be difficult to move around a desktop device. M-
commerce offers greater mobility as it's conducted
through handheld devices that can be used
anywhere there's an internet connection, including
buses, trains and airplanes or when exercising at the
gym.
Location tracking. Many e-commerce apps make
use of location tracking capabilities to pitch users
opportunities based on their location. However, the
location tracking capability of e-commerce is limited
when it is used with a nonmobile device. For
example, the location of an e-commerce shopper is
tracked with their IP address. While the IP address
provides a broad region of the user's location, it is
not capable of identifying the exact location, which
might affect the targeted advertising strategies of a
business. M-commerce apps, on the other hand, can
track locations using Wi-Fi and GPS-based
technologies that enable location-specific content
and personalized recommendations. For instance, a
provider can send push notifications offering
personalized discounts that target certain customers
as they walk past a specific store in a mall.
Security. Credit cards are still commonly used for
nonmobile e-commerce payments. They are
considered riskier than other online payment
methods, even with security measures, such as
multifactor authentication. Most data breaches and
identity thefts happen because of credit card misuse.
M-commerce closes some security gaps through the
addition of measures such as biometric
authentication, mobile wallets, quick response or QR
codes and even cryptocurrencies.
Reachability and convenience. M-commerce
makes it easier to reach a target audience. With
mobile apps, businesses can reach more people
and make their buying experience easier and faster.
Advantages and disadvantages of mobile
commerce
The advantages of m-commerce include the
following:
 Large customer base. M-commerce provides for
a larger customer base and better retention than
e-commerce in general, because m-commerce
capabilities are more widely and easily accessible.
Also, mobile analytics offers insights into customer
shopping behavior, pattern and history. To boost
retention rates, businesses can use this data to
target shoppers with personalized offers and tailor-
made discounts.
 Convenience. M-commerce makes it easier for
customers to compare prices, read reviews and
make purchases when and where they want to do
these things.
 Product variety. Customers can browse through
a huge inventory of products while also taking
advantage of the competitive pricing.
 Automation. M-commerce automates a
business's point of customer contact and sales
with a variety of mobile contactless payment
options, such as Apple Pay, PayPal One
Touch and Visa Checkout. Many e-commerce
sites also offer one-click checkout process
functionality, which enables users to add payment
information only once and then use the one-click
option for every purchase made thereafter.
 Omnichannel experience. M-commerce creates
an omnichannel experience where products can
be sold via multiple channels -- e-commerce
websites, Amazon, eBay, Instagram. This
approach makes it easier for customers to buy
whenever and wherever they want.
Disadvantages of m-commerce include the
following:
 Poor execution. The smaller screens of mobile
phones and tablets require specific navigation
functionality. Consequently, intuitive mobile user
interfaces are complicated and expensive to
design. A poorly executed mobile customer
experience can frustrate customers and deter
them from making purchases.
 Payment issues. Mobile payment options are not
available in every geographic location and may not
support every type of digital wallet.
 Tax compliance. Businesses must know and
comply with tax laws and regulations of all
countries they ship to. Some businesses will avoid
this by only authorizing purchases from and
shipping to their country of origin.
 Security vulnerabilities. Many users are still
hesitant to make purchases over a mobile device
because of security risks. Even with two-factor
authentication, mobile fraud is on the rise and
many merchants have still not adopted fraud
prevention practices for the smaller screen.
Attacks, such as SIM swaps and mobile malware,
are becoming more common and can discourage
users from making payments through their mobile
devices.
Future of mobile
commerce
Mobile commerce is evolving and starting to reach a
wider audience. According to Insider Intelligence,
6.9% of retail transactions will take place through a
mobile device in 2022 and m-commerce will account
for 10.4% of all retail sales by 2025. Many
businesses are adopting mobile commerce to avoid
falling behind the competitors.
The following are some of the current and future
mobile commerce trends:
Mobile retargeting.
This concept is an extension of location-based
mobile marketing. Instead of putting ads at random
places, this trend targets them contextually only at
potential customers. For example, marketers can
send an ad to users who have previously visited
their mobile app or they might present an active
mobile targeted ad to a user who comes into
proximity of their store. Mobile retargeting offers a
better return on investment compared with other
advertisement strategies and is likely to become
more popular in the future.
Augmented reality (AR).
The number of mobile applications with embedded
AR is growing rapidly. To improve its brand
presence and provide digital content optimization,
retail giant Ikea introduced an AR mobile application
in 2017 that lets shoppers test products in real time
through Apple iOS 11's ARKit technology.
Customers use AR models of IKEA furniture from
the mobile app to see how those pieces fit in their
home and office spaces. Many brands, including
Coca-Cola, Zara, Covergirl and Pez, also use
embedded AR in their mobile apps.
Mobile SEO.
With the growing number of smartphone users
accessing the internet, mobile responsive websites
have become a necessity. Websites that are not
mobile-friendly or do not provide a good user
experience risk user abandonment, which in turn
increases the bounce rate of their websites.
Websites with higher bounce rates rank lower
in SEO and Google searches. Therefore, building
mobile websites that are adaptive to handheld
devices is an important goal for all businesses.
Mobile banking.
The biggest advantage of mobile banking is the
ability to send money anywhere, anytime. Users can
send money to others and conduct transactions with
their bank irrespective of their location. This trend is
likely to keep growing. According to Business
Insider, as of 2021, there are an estimated 169.3
million mobile banking users in the United States, of
whom nearly 80% said that mobile banking was their
preferred way to access their accounts.
AI, chatbots and shopping assistants.
Powered by AI, chatbots are becoming essential e-
commerce tools. They help shoppers around the
clock with product recommendations, purchase
completion, customer support and other tasks.
According to a Grand View Research report, the
global AI chatbot market is expected to reach $3.99
billion by 2030. Shoppers are becoming more
comfortable with chatbots as they have become
accustomed to chatting with their friends and family
over chat apps, such as WhatsApp, Facebook
Messenger and Telegram.
Mobile ticketing.
Gone are the days when users had to wait in long
lines to buy movie or concert tickets. With mobile
ticketing, users can buy and receive tickets through
their smartphones. Mobile ticketing also eliminates
the need to print the tickets as users receive them
on their phones in a text format with a barcode that
gets scanned at events.
With mobile commerce on the rise, mobile
apps are a necessity for businesses looking
to build a loyal customer base.

How mobile commerce works With most m-commerce enabled platforms, the mobile device is connected to a wireless network that is used to conduct online product purchases and other transactions. For those in charge of developing an m-commerce application, important key performance indicators to monitor include the following:  total mobile traffic;  total application traffic;  average order value; and  the value of orders over time. Similarly, tracking the mobile add-to-cart rate will help developers see if users are becoming customers. M-commerce developers may also be interested in logging average page loading times, mobile cart conversion rates and SMS subscriptions.
  • 6. Mobile payment products operate through a form of peer-to-peer sharing. Once a mobile device is paired with a user's bank card information, the phone can be waved over a payment terminal to pay for a product. Contactless payment using a mobile device uses near-field communication technology. M-commerce vs. e-commerce Electronic commerce, or e-commerce refers to buying and selling goods and services over the internet. E-commerce and m-commerce are similar, but they come with a few distinctions from each other, such as the following: Mobility. E-commerce transactions can be conducted through a desktop computer where the user is in a fixed spot. This reduces mobility as it can be difficult to move around a desktop device. M- commerce offers greater mobility as it's conducted through handheld devices that can be used anywhere there's an internet connection, including buses, trains and airplanes or when exercising at the gym. Location tracking. Many e-commerce apps make use of location tracking capabilities to pitch users opportunities based on their location. However, the location tracking capability of e-commerce is limited

While the IP address provides a broad region of the user's location, it is not capable of identifying the exact location, which might affect the targeted advertising strategies of a business. M-commerce apps, on the other hand, can track locations using Wi-Fi and GPS-based technologies that enable location-specific content and personalized recommendations. For instance, a provider can send push notifications offering personalized discounts that target certain customers as they walk past a specific store in a mall. Security. Credit cards are still commonly used for nonmobile e-commerce payments. They are considered riskier than other online payment methods, even with security measures, such as multifactor authentication. Most data breaches and identity thefts happen because of credit card misuse. M-commerce closes some security gaps through the addition of measures such as biometric authentication, mobile wallets, quick response or QR codes and even cryptocurrencies. Reachability and convenience. M-commerce makes it easier to reach a target audience. With

Advantages and disadvantages of mobile commerce The advantages of m-commerce include the following:  Large customer base. M-commerce provides for a larger customer base and better retention than e-commerce in general, because m-commerce capabilities are more widely and easily accessible. Also, mobile analytics offers insights into customer shopping behavior, pattern and history. To boost retention rates, businesses can use this data to target shoppers with personalized offers and tailor- made discounts.  Convenience. M-commerce makes it easier for customers to compare prices, read reviews and make purchases when and where they want to do these things.  Product variety. Customers can browse through a huge inventory of products while also taking advantage of the competitive pricing.  Automation. M-commerce automates a business's point of customer contact and sales with a variety of mobile contactless payment

Many e-commerce sites also offer one-click checkout process functionality, which enables users to add payment information only once and then use the one-click option for every purchase made thereafter.  Omnichannel experience. M-commerce creates an omnichannel experience where products can be sold via multiple channels -- e-commerce websites, Amazon, eBay, Instagram. This approach makes it easier for customers to buy whenever and wherever they want. Disadvantages of m-commerce include the following:  Poor execution. The smaller screens of mobile phones and tablets require specific navigation functionality. Consequently, intuitive mobile user interfaces are complicated and expensive to design. A poorly executed mobile customer experience can frustrate customers and deter them from making purchases.  Payment issues. Mobile payment options are not available in every geographic location and may not support every type of digital wallet.
  • 10.  Tax compliance. Businesses must know and comply with tax laws and regulations of all countries they ship to. Some businesses will avoid this by only authorizing purchases from and shipping to their country of origin.  Security vulnerabilities. Many users are still hesitant to make purchases over a mobile device because of security risks. Even with two-factor authentication, mobile fraud is on the rise and many merchants have still not adopted fraud prevention practices for the smaller screen. Attacks, such as SIM swaps and mobile malware, are becoming more common and can discourage users from making payments through their mobile devices.
  • 11. Future of mobile commerce Mobile commerce is evolving and starting to reach a wider audience. According to Insider Intelligence, 6.9% of retail transactions will take place through a mobile device in 2022 and m-commerce will account for 10.4% of all retail sales by 2025. Many businesses are adopting mobile commerce to avoid falling behind the competitors. The following are some of the current and future mobile commerce trends: Mobile retargeting. This concept is an extension of location-based mobile marketing. Instead of putting ads at random places, this trend targets them contextually only at potential customers. For example, marketers can send an ad to users who have previously visited their mobile app or they might present an active mobile targeted ad to a user who comes into proximity of their store. Mobile retargeting offers a better return on investment compared with other advertisement strategies and is likely to become more popular in the future.
  • 12. Augmented reality (AR). The number of mobile applications with embedded AR is growing rapidly. To improve its brand presence and provide digital content optimization, retail giant Ikea introduced an AR mobile application in 2017 that lets shoppers test products in real time through Apple iOS 11's ARKit technology. Customers use AR models of IKEA furniture from the mobile app to see how those pieces fit in their home and office spaces. Many brands, including Coca-Cola, Zara, Covergirl and Pez, also use embedded AR in their mobile apps. Mobile SEO. With the growing number of smartphone users accessing the internet, mobile responsive websites have become a necessity. Websites that are not mobile-friendly or do not provide a good user experience risk user abandonment, which in turn increases the bounce rate of their websites. Websites with higher bounce rates rank lower in SEO and Google searches. Therefore, building mobile websites that are adaptive to handheld devices is an important goal for all businesses.
  • 13. Mobile banking. The biggest advantage of mobile banking is the ability to send money anywhere, anytime. Users can send money to others and conduct transactions with their bank irrespective of their location. This trend is likely to keep growing. According to Business Insider, as of 2021, there are an estimated 169.3 million mobile banking users in the United States, of whom nearly 80% said that mobile banking was their preferred way to access their accounts. AI, chatbots and shopping assistants. Powered by AI, chatbots are becoming essential e- commerce tools. They help shoppers around the clock with product recommendations, purchase completion, customer support and other tasks. According to a Grand View Research report, the global AI chatbot market is expected to reach $3.99 billion by 2030. Shoppers are becoming more comfortable with chatbots as they have become accustomed to chatting with their friends and family over chat apps, such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Telegram.
  • 14. Mobile ticketing. Gone are the days when users had to wait in long lines to buy movie or concert tickets. With mobile ticketing, users can buy and receive tickets through their smartphones. Mobile ticketing also eliminates the need to print the tickets as users receive them on their phones in a text format with a barcode that gets scanned at events. With mobile commerce on the rise, mobile apps are a necessity for businesses looking to build a loyal customer base.
