The term 'online merchant' has become increasingly important in both Brazilian and American contexts with the rapid growth of e-commerce. In Brazil, there's a strong culture of micro-entrepreneurs and small business owners operating through platforms like Shopify, Mercado Livre, and OLX. In the USA, online merchants are recognized as legitimate business owners and often require business licenses and tax registration. The rise of social commerce and marketplace selling has made this role more accessible to entrepreneurs without significant capital investment.
