These discoveries often lead to purchases. Social commerce is a kind of electronic commerce that provides a smooth shopping experience, where the user never leaves the social platform. The digital practice of social commerce therefore maximizes the effectiveness of the sales process thanks to a drastic reduction in the number of steps between the selection of the good\/service to the checkout, with interesting benefits for the seller. Reducing the steps, it\u2019s less likely for the potential buyer to change his mind and not finalize the purchase.<\/p><p>Driven by recent events that demotivate physical transactions and technological innovations that favor online transactions, a growing trend of social commerce has begun in Italy that experts believe will remain constant.<\/p><p>This JOurnal article will look at what social commerce is, how it can benefit your business and what the advantages are over traditional e-commerce.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ccae86c elementor-toc--minimized-on-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-table-of-contents\" data-id=\"ccae86c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;headings_by_tags&quot;:[&quot;h2&quot;,&quot;h3&quot;,&quot;h4&quot;],&quot;exclude_headings_by_selector&quot;:[],&quot;marker_view&quot;:&quot;numbers&quot;,&quot;no_headings_message&quot;:&quot;No headings were found on this page.&quot;,&quot;minimize_box&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;minimized_on&quot;:&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;hierarchical_view&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;min_height&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;min_height_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;min_height_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"table-of-contents.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-toc__header-title\">\n\t\t\t\tTable of contents\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__toggle-button elementor-toc__toggle-button--expand\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-toc__ccae86c\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-label=\"Open table of contents\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__toggle-button elementor-toc__toggle-button--collapse\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-toc__ccae86c\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-label=\"Close table of contents\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-toc__ccae86c\" class=\"elementor-toc__body\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__spinner-container\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"elementor-toc__spinner eicon-animation-spin e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-loading\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M500 975V858C696 858 858 696 858 500S696 142 500 142 142 304 142 500H25C25 237 238 25 500 25S975 237 975 500 763 975 500 975Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbdbac8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bbdbac8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Social commerce: meaning<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c833ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c833ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Social commerce, which all the major social networking platforms are focusing on, can be described as the integration of promotion and sales activities on social media.<\/p><p>Traditionally, social networking platforms are configured as mere displays (however incredibly effective) of goods or services: calls to action do nothing but direct to an external e-commerce on which to purchase. The progressive elimination of the third party by the main operators, such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and TikTok, contains the experience within the social network, increasing the probability that the user makes the purchase and shares it with his network.<\/p><p>If social networking is about connecting people with common interests, while businesses try to join the conversation, in social commerce people are welcomed by a community of enthusiasts that marketers are already part of. In other words, by social commerce we mean the union between corporate social networking &#8211; understood as a process of aggregation on a theme or product &#8211; and e-commerce.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e55232 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3e55232\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Social commerce in italy<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fe5dca elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5fe5dca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Social commerce in Italy is still present with some limitations. With regard to Facebook and Instagram, for example, it is not yet possible to shop directly on the platforms. However, it is only a matter of time before the features are fully unlocked and several functions that can enhance your business are already available. It&#8217;s important already now, therefore, to strengthen your company&#8217;s social presence in order to be prepared once the Shops are fully functional.<\/p><p>Facebook Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced that soon the ratings and reviews section of Shopping on Instagram will be expanded to provide more information to potential buyers (following the Amazon model).<\/p><p>In the future, moreover, companies from different countries (we still don&#8217;t know if Italy will be included immediately in the test, it&#8217;s not to be excluded) will be given the opportunity to show their Shops on WhatsApp. Users will be able to scroll through the catalogue and ask for information via chat about specific products before buying. Answering clients there won\u2019t necessarily be physical persons, but chatbots, which are becoming increasingly accurate in the simulation of human conversation.<\/p><p>The platforms of the Facebook galaxy are the most powerful in Italy, so any social commerce strategy cannot ignore them. However, we must keep a close eye on TikTok\u2019s growth, in vogue among those generations (Y and Z) that are more inclined to make purchases online. The social network of short videos has recently made several deals with specialized companies, such as Shopify, in order to strengthen the commercial aspect.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4fa668c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4fa668c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Difference between e-commerce and social commerce<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12247cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"12247cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>But what is the difference between e-commerce and social commerce?
