E-commerce eliminated all national borders between countries and provided a new dimension to the internationalization process. Technological developments have made the study of electronic commerce in the international environment inevitable. This study highlights the possibilities and challenges of e-commerce and, consequently, the impact of this form of internationalization on company strategy. For the development of an empirical study, five interviews were analyzed with the primary objective of exploring the motivations that led companies to expand online. As the consumer is the leading player in this process, its perspective concerning ecommerce was studied. For this, an online survey was created to analyze the impact of social networks on the consumer's relationship. The results suggest an apparent connection between internationalization strategies and the adaptation of e-commerce. In this study, we conclude that e-commerce is one of the main internationalization strategies.
