What Camara Colombiana de Comercio Electrónico CCE does

Camara Colombiana de Comercio Electrónico (CCCE) is a private non-profit trade association (gremio) founded in 2008 and headquartered in Bogotá, Colombia, with nationwide coverage. Its mission is to promote and strengthen the Colombian e-commerce industry. The organization serves approximately 300 affiliated companies as of 2019, split between technology providers (53%) and online stores (47%), spanning electronic invoicing, payment processing, logistics, and digital marketing. CCCE's product portfolio includes the Sello eTrust trust certification, the Capacítate Online training platform, the public-private Observatorio eCommerce research initiative (with MinTIC and RENATA), and six working commissions covering topics such as electronic documentation, statistics, regulation, logistics, and payments/fraud. It also organizes Colombia's flagship e-commerce sales events: Cyberlunes (since 2012), HotSale (since 2015), eCommerce Day (since 2011 with eInstitute), and eCommerce Summit Colombia (since 2017), along with the more recent eCommerce Fest.

CCCE operates as a chamber rather than a technology company; its underlying infrastructure consists of a member portal, an LMS platform (ccce.entrena.co), and event websites, rather than proprietary software products. The business model is funded primarily through annual membership fees from affiliated companies (both natural persons and legal entities) and revenue from event sponsorships, exhibitor fees, and advertising tied to Cyberlunes, HotSale, eCommerce Day, and eCommerce Summit. The organization maintains direct engagement with government entities (MinTIC, MinCit, DIAN, ProColombia) on e-commerce regulation and participates in public-private alliances such as the eCommerce de Puertas Abiertas program. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; affiliation requirements include RUT documentation, identity documents, and certification of total sales/income, with billing on an annual cycle from the date of membership formalization. The chamber is led by Executive President María Fernanda Quiñones Zapata and is governed by an assembly of affiliates and a board of directors.
