The power on social media platforms reveals deep meanings; for example, photos, videos, emotions, or microblogs. The meaning of words, photos, or icons is not just the way it has. The sentiment and behavior behind social media platforms have influence and impact on e-commerce.

Enterprises attempt to employ social media platforms to implement e-commerce and increase profits. By using social media platforms, enterprises have lots of opportunities to increase the success of e-commerce businesses. Social commerce gradually emerges on account of practical circumstances and the necessity of business operation.
