The answer

It is forbidden to buy, sell, or engage in any transaction that distracts from the Friday prayer after the second call to prayer, due to the Almighty's saying: ﴿O YOU WHO HAVE BELIEVED, WHEN [THE ADHAN] IS PROCLAIMED FOR THE PRAYER ON THE DAY OF FRIDAY, THEN PROCEED TO THE REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH AND LEAVE TRADE. THAT IS BETTER FOR YOU, IF YOU ONLY KNEW.﴾ This includes digital commerce and other forms, because the prohibition is due to being distracted from the remembrance of Allah, which refers to the prayer and the sermon.
