E‐Procurement
E‐procurement refers to the use of integrated information technology systems for procurement functions, including sourcing, negotiation, ordering, receipt and
post‐purchase review (Croom and Brandon‐Jones, 2007).
Gunasekaran, et l. 2009
The major reasons for this are: (i) cost cutting, (ii) real‐time bidding and response, (iii) transparency of the process, (iv) reduced cycle time, and (v) increased geographical outreach , (Yu et al., 2008).

E‐Payment
Classification of electronic payment systems (Kim et al, 2010).
When E‐ Commerce created the need for e‐payment services, traditional cash‐based and account‐based payment instruments were used as a model. Simultaneously, new intermediaries such as PayPal succeeded in fulfilling some of the new needs of online merchants and consumers (Dahlberg et al. 2008).
1. Electronic‐cash: transactions are settled via the exchange of electronic currency.
2. Pre‐paid card: customers use a pre‐paid card for a specified amount by making an entry of the unique card number on merchant sites. The value of the card is decreased by the amount paid to the merchant.
3. Credit cards: a server authenticates consumers and verifies withthe bank whether adequate funds are available prior to purchase; charges are posted against a customer’s account; and the customer is billed later for the charges and pays the balance of the account to the bank.
4. Debit cards: a customer maintains a positive balance in the account, and money is deducted from the account when a debit transaction is performed.
5. Electronic checks: an institution electronically settles transactionsbetween the buyer’s bank and the seller’s bank in the form of an electronic check.
