Established in 2000, the BlackCommerceMall.com is the first on-line shopping cart for African American businesses that is completely hosted on servers owned by an African American company. BlackCommerceMall.com began as a philanthropic effort to involve African American businesses in eCommerce in the global market through education, promotion, assistance and eCommerce classes . The need for our own server was quickly recognized as a need to complete an eCommerce destination where African American businesses could be comfortably hosted and listed within the Bay Area and national Media.

BlackCommerceMall.com's mission is to facilitate black businesses participation in the $500 billion eCommerce global market and to increase substantially the 3% of black dollars spent with black business.
