International Barriers of Commerce: These can be some of the barriers to International Commerce 1 . Security- As the entire transaction takes place online, and some sites are well constructed and some have their security certificates and HTTPS links, but still in this communication age, there are hackers who still attack some of the transactions and take advantage of sensitive information related to purchase.This online security issue cannot be reduced unless the buyers and the sellers are equally educated on their free presence on internet and its effects 2. Language- International trade occurs between different countries which can be similar or very different from each other. Language s certainly a barrier as the trade occurs only when the buyers and sellers together dictate the price of the product and are satisfied with the transaction, sometimes the websites of the business site cannot be written in the same language which the customer understands.In those circumstances, the sellers' weapon can be made effective by including some software tools for translation by detecting the locale of the customer, or the site itself could provide different language versions of the same website.
3. Lack of Trust- This is the ultimate problem of Commerce, unless the page is very popular and has a huge base of retentive customers, we cannot be sure if the transaction would be smoother.Sometimes the seller can simply get the sensitive information from the buyer and can take advantage in the transaction, sometimes the product need not be shipped, shipped product might be a different one or it might be defective. The biggest example of lack of trust is the Tech Bubble bursting during 2000 where many companies created their small presence Just to be on web and cheated many investors to buy their stocks. We can limit this threat by roving some certifications to the website, in case of individual- individual transactions as that of EBay which are largely based on auction; this point may not be implemented effectively.In conclusion, there are several benefits of Commerce and what it could do to our future and what it has already done and the employment it provided to many through IT industry.
Commerce has been largely helpful in channeling the buying power of customer with the product which he desires the most.
