Factors to Consider

You are seeking a new e-commerce platform to build your online store. Or maybe, you might be on a mission to upgrade your current shopping cart with the latest technology.  After initial research, you realize e-commerce platform selection processes can be daunting.
Even brief online research brings dozens, even hundreds, of e-commerce platforms options, and online shopping cart applications, including:

  • On-premise software
  • Cloud platforms,
  • Open source
  • Commercial, off-the-shelf, or best-of-breed products.

There are also multiple solutions for small, mid-market and enterprise retail environments. Many factors determine the ideal platform for your business.
