History
In the early 1970s, the development of EC applications are started with electronic funds transfer (EFT). EPT refers to the computer-based systems used to perform financial transactions electronically. The use of these applications was limited to financial institutes, large corporations, and some daring businesses.

An Interorganizational System (IOS) allows the flow of information to be automated between organizations in order to reach a desired supply-chain management system, which enables the development of competitive organizations.
From the 1990s onwards, electronic commerce would additionally include enterprise resource planning systems (ERP), data mining and data warehousing.
The term ‘electronic commerce’ was coined in the early 1990s when Internet became commercialized and users began flocking to participate in the World Wide Web. Then, EC applications were rapidly expanded.

Possibly EC is introduced from the Telephone Exchange Office. The earliest example of many-to-many EC in physical goods was the Boston Computer Exchange, a marketplace for used computers launched in 1982. The first online information marketplace, including online consulting, was likely the American Information Exchange, another pre-Internet online system was introduced in 1991.
Evolution
Many innovative applications, ranging from direct online sales to e-learning experiences had been developed since 1995. Despite that, every organization in the world has a Web site.
In 1999, the emphasis of EC shifted from B2C to B2B. The stress of EC transferred from B2B to B2E, e-government, e-learning, and m-commerce in 2001. Later the social networks, I-commerce and wireless applications started to rise in 2005.
E-commerce will undoubtedly continue to shift and change in the future.
