Analysis of key technical terms
2.1 Evolution of the definition of e-commerce
The standard clearly defines e-commerce as "business activities that sell goods or provide services through information networks such as the Internet". Compared with GB/T35408-2017:
- Expanded the scope of application of service transactions
- Explicitly included new information networks such as mobile terminals
- Deleted the original "electronic payment" restriction
3.5 Innovative definition of O2O model
For the first time, O2O e-commerce was defined at the national standard level as a model of "driving offline operations and consumption through online marketing and online purchases". Typical application scenarios include:
- Online group purchase and offline verification in the catering industry
- Online ordering and store pickup for retail enterprises
- Online appointment and offline experience in the service industry
Standard implementation suggestions
Enterprise compliance application path
It is recommended that e-commerce platforms refer to the following steps to implement the standard:
Case: Terminology transformation project of a leading platform
1. Revise the definition of user agreement terms in accordance with the standard
2. Establish a term mapping table to achieve multi-language unification
3. Train customer service personnel on the use of standard terminology
After implementation, the customer complaint rate decreased by 23%
Key points for supervision and application
Law enforcement agencies should focus on:
- The definition of platform operators and operators within the platform (Article 2.3 of the standard)
- The standard for determining prohibited goods (Article 5.13)
- False Transaction Identification Rules (Article 8.18)
