Answer:

E-commerce applications is a bit misleading terminology, as it leads to two possible perceptions: one, where it refers to the use of e-commerce as a medium of marketing; retail and wholesale; auctioning; e-banking; booking and so on.

The second idea one gets is that of a software application like Amazon, eBay, Groupon, etc. It may be a web application or mobile application (now popularly known as m-commerce applications). Mobile e-commerce applications are nothing but an extension of e-commerce. Mobile app ideas are the driving force behind every successful business app, be it an Uber-like taxi app or a DoorDash like a food delivery app.

The picture below describes the two meanings accurately. The orange color implicates the use of e commerce applications with the first intention, and the green shows the use for the second.
