<p>This paper’s purpose is to define and explain the connection between the online/offline environments and the transition to e-commerce as a business sustainability process. The Internet has become a central focus for the global society in recent years, managing to successfully transfer elements of real life into the virtual environment. Beyond the social parts, the web has also become a foundation for the new economic era. By default, commerce has evolved in order to be able to assimilate all new items brought over the Internet, reaching the term of e-commerce (e-commerce or online commerce).
