E-commerce is said to have begun in 1995 when the first secure online purchase was made. While there were earlier attempts at online commerce, such as the sale of marijuana on the internet in 1971 or the sale of a Sting album on the internet in 1994, it was not until 1995 that the first secure online transaction was made through a company called NetMarket.
