89% of ecommerce purchases in Australia are domestic. And with over 13 million active Facebook users in Australia, social media is big driver in promoting B2C transactions. Credit and debit cards account for 40% of online payments, and more than a quarter (26.4%) of all ecommerce transactions in Australia occur via mobile phone.
