Cross-border e-commerce refers to online trade between a business (retailer or brand) and a consumer (B2C), between two businesses, often brands or wholesalers (B2B), or between two private individuals (C2C), e.g., eBay, located in different countries.

The internet and e-commerce infrastructure, such as payment gateways, international logistics, and localized digital marketing strategies, are essential components that support cross-border trade. Businesses can increase their market reach, while consumers have access to a broader range of products from various countries.

Several key players operate in the cross-border e-commerce landscape. Some of these include Amazon, which offers an extensive global marketplace; Alibaba Group, particularly through its platform AliExpress; eBay, which has a long-standing international auction and direct sales platform; and Etsy, known for handicrafts and vintage goods.
