Facebook is the top social commerce platform, driving more than two-thirds of mobile e-commerce traffic and boosting social media's quickly growing share of e-commerce web traffic.

Facebook accounts for 50% of total social referrals and 64% of total social revenue. The site's social commerce initiatives, including a recent focus on its Messenger app, largely reflect social media's increasingly important role for online retailers.
