What is the difference between social commerce and traditional e-commerce?

The main difference is that social commerce integrates purchasing directly within social networks, eliminating intermediate steps and preventing the user from leaving the platform. In traditional e-commerce, social interaction and transaction are separate (for example: seeing a product on Instagram and then going to the website). With social commerce, content, recommendation, and purchase coexist in the same space, reducing friction and increasing conversions.
