<![CDATA[This study analyzes the development of social commerce as an emerging trend in digital marketing and examines its opportunities and challenges for MSME development in the digital economy. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted on 30 articles published between 2020 and 2026, selected using PRISMA 2020 and analyzed through the Theory–Context–Characteristics–Methodology (TCCM) framework and thematic synthesis. The findings show that social commerce has evolved from a promotional and transactional channel into a marketing capability that integrates technology, social interaction, content, trust, and customer relationships.
