摘要：In 2018, ‘Hootsuite’ and ‘We Are Social’ have
reported in their Digital Report that Malaysian Internet users
had increased to 25.08 million users, representing 79% of
Malaysian population. However, some reports indicate that even
with the enhancement of digital technology, many merchants are
still not using any e-commerce platform and being sceptic about
it. With the pervasive increase of the Internet users, many other
reports had been published to understand the relationship
between e-commerce and the increasing of merchants’ income.
Therefore, the objective of this research is to study the
involvement of Malaysian merchants in e-commerce platforms. A
sample of 1060 respondents had been selected randomly across
Malaysia to participate in this research by answering a set of
survey questions given online. In general, the results show that
many merchants have realized the existence of e-commerce and
they are familiar with it. However, they have only been utilizing
it for purchasing goods and services. On the other hand, a few
numbers of Malaysian merchants do engage with some type of ecommerce
platforms to operate their businesses. In addition, the
research is performed to identify the impact of using e-commerce
on Malaysian merchants’ income.
