The Commonwealth Bank has entered the e-commerce space with a hosted online shopping platform after successfully piloting the technology in February.

The platform, called iShop, bundles CBA's eVolve payment gateway with a suite of internally-developed software that enables customers to set up a customisable online shop front.

CBA will host the service internally, according to general manager of merchant services, Dominic White.

Credit card numbers are held securely by the bank, he said.

"Commonwealth Bank eVolve moves away from this model.
