Microsoft Merchant Server, released in October 1996, was Microsoft's initial foray into e-commerce software, during the boom of Internet business-to-consumer transactions in the 1990s related to the dot-com bubble. Only one version was shipped, then its technology was folded into Microsoft Site Server 2.0, Commerce Edition.
