Distance selling has become increasingly prevalent in both Brazil and Portugal with the rise of digital commerce. In Brazil, e-commerce platforms like B2W and companies such as Amazon Brasil dominate this sector.

The practice gained significant momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic as lockdowns accelerated the shift to online shopping.
