If I want to apply for a patent in e-commerce, should I apply for a utility model or invention patent?

You cannot apply for a utility model, you can only apply for an invention;

Utility models can only protect products, not methods; in terms of e-commerce, if viewed as a product, it is software , which is not protected by patent law; not as a product, but the method of extracting it, this is the scope of protection of the invention patent.
