E-commerce is clearly expanding in tandem with the world's shift toward greater technology. Azerbaijan is among the nations that must meet the demands of the modern world in order to avoid economic lag. The aim of the study is to determine the state of e-commerce at the moment and how it is related to the oil industry's aspects, as well as propose strategies for advancing its growth in Azerbaijan. To provide valuable insights, desk research with quantitative analysis, including expert interviews, was organized. Addressing the problem of the "resource curse" it may be inferred that there is a relationship between the growth of e-commerce and the decline in attention to the oil sector.
