Background of the Study
Mobile commerce (m-commerce) refers to the buying and selling of goods and services through mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. The rapid growth of mobile internet access and the proliferation of mobile applications have transformed the way businesses engage with consumers. For e-commerce firms, adopting mobile commerce strategies has become essential to staying competitive in a digital-first marketplace.
