Hello, In one paragraph of my essay i talk about the internet and here i say that you can use it for shopping. This is the sentence in spanish: 'Tiene muchas ventajas por ejemplo, se puede utilizarlo para la compra'

However i am not sure if it should be 'la compra' or 'las compras' as i have been told conflicting things.

Las compras is correct in this case because you are talking about purchases in general and not one particular purchase.
