Choosing the right eCommerce platform can be tricky as there are a lot of platforms in the market each with its own specific niche. Some are more suited for fashion, while others are for furniture, some for sports items, while many are for FMCG, and so on.

This is where doing your research on each platform is of utmost importance. And then once you have chosen which platform serves your needs best, you can go forward with designing your own store on that platform.

Among the major eCommerce platforms out there, the names most recognized are:

  • Shopify
  • Magento
  • 3DCart
  • BigCommerce
  • WooCommerce
Running an eCommerce business may seem easy and convenient since everything could practically happen online without you ever having to leave your house. But it can be more than just setting up a few web pages to host product listings. Just like any other type of business, the same level of strategic thinking and planning goes into launching and running an online shop or service.

Using a web design agency or a web development company could be of tremendous help here since most platforms require coding skills. Among the things to be kept in mind when choosing your Online eCommerce platform are:

  • Maintenance costs
  • Upgrade costs
  • Adding features and improvement costs
  • Vendor experience and expertise
  • Support
  • Scalability
  • SEO friendliness
  • Mobile-friendliness
  • Security
