For example:
1. I like shopping online
2. I like online shopping
Do both have the same meaning?
Which one is commonly use?
Both sentences have the same meaning and they are grammatically correct because 'online' is both an adjective and adverb (https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/).
In the 'shopping online' there's an adverb, in the 'online shopping' there's an adjective.
According to Oxford Living Dictionary:
Adverb
: By means of the Internet or other computer network.
‘shoppers would rather pick up the phone than do business online'
Adjective
: (of an activity or service) available on or performed using the Internet or other computer network.
‘online banking’
