What is mobile commerce? Mobile commerce, also known as "m-commerce", is the use of wireless handheld devices like cellphones and tablets, to conduct commercial transactions online, including the purchase and sale of products, online banking and bill paying. The engagement of m-commerce activity is on the climb. According to market research company Forrester Research, mobile commerce sales in the United States were an estimated $200+ billion in 2017 – investopedia.com
