The system put into service on 04/12/2017, following the Communiqué on the Electronic Commerce Information System and Notification Obligations, which was prepared so that businesses engaged in e-commerce are reachable and e-commerce data can be tracked reliably and which entered into force on 11/08/2017, is called the Electronic Commerce Information System (ETBİS).
Service providers or intermediary service providers engaged in e-commerce or intermediation must register with ETBİS through the e-Devlet gateway and submit a notification before starting their activities.
For registration, the MERSİS number and tax identification number for real or legal person merchants, the T.R. identity number and tax identification number for tradespeople and craftspeople, and the details of the mobile application and domain name used for e-commerce or intermediation will be entered into ETBİS. This way, businesses that declare that they engage in e-commerce will be registered, e-commerce businesses will be reachable, and informality will be prevented.
In addition, service providers and intermediary service providers registered with ETBİS will submit notifications about themselves on matters such as a registered electronic mail (KEP) address suitable for official notifications, the type of e-commerce, their commercial activities other than e-commerce, the types of goods and services offered in the e-commerce environment, the payment methods offered in the e-commerce environment, whether second-hand goods are offered for sale in the e-commerce environment, and the types of second-hand goods offered for sale.
In addition, payment and electronic money institutions, banks, the Interbank Card Center (BKM), cargo and logistics operators, e-commerce infrastructure providers and intermediary service providers report information about contracts made and orders placed over the internet to ETBİS on a monthly basis.
