#### Methodology: How We Score Products

Here's how our rankings work. 

##### How we collect the data

* **Selecting products to score:** We define the category scope, including what features should be included for this type of software. Our analysts identify all products that fit the defined scope, then narrow down to 15 based on market presence, user ratings, feature comprehensiveness, and category fit.
* **Default scoring process:** Our analysts complete a 100+ question RFI for each product using publicly available data from user reviews, product demos, documentation, vendor websites, and case studies.
* **Verification program:** Vendors can pay for our analyst-led verification service. Their product team submits responses to our standard category RFI, which our analysts then independently review and validate.

**Note:** Vendors can't pay to rank or influence their position on our leaderboards. Our scoring criteria is the same for all products, whether a vendor partners with us or not. 

##### What we score

For our analysis of ecommerce platforms, we scored 90 features across these groups:

* Catalog and Product Management
* Checkout
* Inventory Management
* Marketing and Search Engine Optimization
* Order Management
* Payments
* Platform Capability
* Reporting and Analytics
* Sales Channel
* Shipping
* Storefront

We also scored 10 technical capabilities in these groups:

* Integrations

##### How we score and weight features

Our Analyst Score measures what you get out of the box versus what requires add-ons, integrations, or custom development — because implementation complexity and hidden costs matter to your decision.

Here’s how our scoring scale works:

| Level of Support                    | Score | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

| Moderately Supported Out of the Box | 85    | This feature is moderately supported out of the box and is immediately available after installation, without needing any additional modules, integrations, or custom development.                                                                                |
| Supported with Workarounds          | 70    | This feature is not directly available in the software but can be accomplished using other built-in features or any other workarounds, without any additional cost.                                                                                              |
| Supported with Additional Modules   | 60    | This feature is available through additional modules or products from the vendor at an additional cost.                                                                                                                                                          |
| Supported with Partner Integrations | 50    | This feature is available through additional integrations, plugins, or marketplace applications from a third-party vendor at an additional cost.                                                                                                                 |
| Supported with Custom Development   | 25    | This feature is not built in, and cannot be added by purchasing additional modules or integrations, but can be custom developed using the APIs, libraries, extensions, and development framework supported by the software, with or without any additional cost. |
| Not Supported                       | 0     | This feature isn't supported.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

Each feature carries a default priority — high, medium, or low — set by our analysts based on market research. Higher-priority features have more influence on the final Analyst Score. You can view all priority assignments for free in our comparison platform.

[ ![Riddhiman Roy](https://www.selecthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/cropped-Riddhiman_Roy_Headshot-96x96.jpg) Written By Riddhiman Roy, Technical Content Writer ](https://www.selecthub.com/author/riddhiman-roy/) 

**Bottom line:** Shopify is one of the strongest ecommerce platforms you can pick, and it works for almost any kind of online store. If you want to launch fast without coding and still have room to scale, it's a safe bet. It's less ideal if you're on a tight budget or want heavy customization without technical help.

It fits both ends of the spectrum. You can start with a basic store and grow into a multichannel operation without switching platforms. The Markets feature pulls wholesale, retail, B2B and D2C into one view, so you can tailor each without running separate stores.

Where it really clicks is analytics. You get live data streaming and pre-built reports, plus ShopifyQL if you want to customize deeper. The headless setup and native Hydrogen editor give you flexibility to build unique shopping experiences.

The tradeoff is cost and complexity. Expenses grow as your business does, and paid apps and transaction fees add up. Mastering Liquid is the price of deep customization, so weigh that against your team's technical comfort before you commit.

* **Multichannel selling** – Sell across marketplaces, social media and in-store POS, with catalogs, discounts and updates syncing automatically to keep every channel consistent
* **Markets management** – Consolidate wholesale, retail, B2B and D2C into one screen and tailor each market without building separate stores
* **Real-time analytics** – Stream live store data and run pre-built reports, then dig deeper with ShopifyQL code for advanced custom analysis

* **Inventory management** – Track stock across multiple locations with barcode scanning, stockout alerts and replenishment notifications through the mobile app

[ ![Riddhiman Roy](https://www.selecthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/cropped-Riddhiman_Roy_Headshot-96x96.jpg) Written By Riddhiman Roy, Technical Content Writer ](https://www.selecthub.com/author/riddhiman-roy/) 

**Bottom line:** BigCommerce is one of the best picks if you're a growing mid-sized business that can cover the platform cost with your sales revenue. It's flexible enough to handle B2B, D2C and dropshipping, even running separate storefronts for each. If you're a small business, it can feel like overkill.

The open, headless architecture is where it really clicks. You get full access to APIs, SDKs and data with no proprietary blockers, so you can design custom storefronts and wire up the exact tech stack you want. The backend handles products, orders and customer data while you stay free on the design side.

It's also strong for selling internationally. Multiple currencies, global payment methods and automated handling of cross-border taxes make expanding into new markets far less painful.

The catch is the pricing. You pay a base subscription, but each plan caps your annual sales, and going over means BigCommerce takes a percentage of revenue. Connect a POS and every in-store sale counts as an eCommerce sale, which pushes your volume and cost up. The best features sit in higher tiers, so plan your budget around that.

* **Page builder** – Create and edit web pages without coding, or drop into built-in HTML, CSS and JavaScript when you need deeper customization

* **Headless customization** – Open API access lets you build custom storefronts and connect third-party apps to fit your specific setup
* **International commerce** – Accept multiple currencies, auto-translate product descriptions and automate sales tax to reach customers worldwide

[ ![Riddhiman Roy](https://www.selecthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/cropped-Riddhiman_Roy_Headshot-96x96.jpg) Written By Riddhiman Roy, Technical Content Writer ](https://www.selecthub.com/author/riddhiman-roy/) 

**Bottom line:** Adobe Commerce is built for large enterprises and D2C brands that want a highly customizable, scalable storefront across many regions. If you're a solo seller or a mid-sized business, it's likely overkill, and you may struggle to cover the cost with sales.

Its headless architecture lets you design unique storefronts for different audiences and geographies. It handles every major model too, including B2B, D2C, dropshipping and B2C. The B2B side is a real strength if you deal with multiple buyers and approval workflows.

You also get a strong personalization engine that uses AI to recommend products based on shopper behavior. A/B testing and content staging help you test changes and fine-tune what customers see.

The tradeoff is complexity. Setup and customization take real time and money, and getting fully proficient means a steep learning curve. Pricing is premium, starting at $2,000 per month, and limited built-in integrations mean you'll often need developers to connect external systems.

* **Headless commerce** – Design customer experiences across web apps, mobile apps, IoT devices, and VR and AR, so you can reach shoppers on any touchpoint.
* **B2B portals** – Set up multiple buyers, assign roles and permissions, track quotes and manage credit, with requisition lists and order rules for buyers.
* **AI recommendations** – Adobe Sensei suggests relevant products from shopper history, searches and trends without page tagging or manual analysis.
* **Multi-location inventory** – Track stock across every store and warehouse, automate sourcing by distance and priority, and update counts after delivery or cancellation.
* **Flexible fulfillment** – Connect to shipping carriers and offer options like buy-online-pickup-in-store, curbside pickup and ship-from-store from the nearest location.

[ ![Riddhiman Roy](https://www.selecthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/cropped-Riddhiman_Roy_Headshot-96x96.jpg) Written By Riddhiman Roy, Technical Content Writer ](https://www.selecthub.com/author/riddhiman-roy/) 

**Bottom line:** Oracle Commerce is built for B2B selling at scale, so it fits you best if you run a large operation with complex catalogs, contract pricing, and multi-step approvals. If you're a small shop, the cost and setup will likely be more than you want to take on.

It really shines when you're handling high transaction volumes and intricate product configurations. Self-service portals, account-based selling, and customer catalogs let you give business buyers a B2C-style experience. Tie-ins with Oracle's ERP, EPM, and SCM tools give you one view across operations.

The tradeoff is complexity. Implementation takes technical expertise and dedicated resources, and the learning curve runs steep. Pricing is premium and quote-based, which adds up fast.

You also get deep customization and strong security, but expect to invest in the rollout. Weigh your requirements and resources before you commit, especially if a dated interface would slow your team down.

* **B2B commerce** – Run self-service portals with contract pricing, account-based selling, and customer catalogs so business clients can shop and order on their own.
* **Storefront design** – A drag-and-drop interface with 20-plus page layouts and 70 widgets lets non-technical staff build and manage storefronts from one place.
* **Embedded intelligence** – AI powers guided search, dynamic promotions based on cart contents, and personalized recommendations from a shopper's browsing history.
* **Configure, price and quote** – Guide buyers through configuring products, applying the right pricing, and generating formal quotes before they commit.
* **Open integrations** – Use the open API to connect commerce to touchpoints like voice and IoT, plus native links to Oracle ERP, SCM, and CX tools.

[ ![Riddhiman Roy](https://www.selecthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/cropped-Riddhiman_Roy_Headshot-96x96.jpg) Written By Riddhiman Roy, Technical Content Writer ](https://www.selecthub.com/author/riddhiman-roy/) 

**Bottom line:** Optimizely fits you best if you're a large enterprise or D2C brand that already has a backend in place and wants to manage, personalize and test branded shopping experiences across channels. If you're a smaller or growing store, the cost and the thin store-management tools will likely push you toward other options.

Its real strength is experimentation. You get A/B testing, multivariate testing and feature flagging to test designs, features and products and see how they affect conversions. The content tools are strong too, giving you one place to store, edit and approve media so your branding stays consistent everywhere.

Where it falls short is core store operations. The backend handles inventory, orders and shipping at a basic level, so you can't manage multiple inventory locations or set up kitting. It also skips product bundling, contract pricing and purchase orders, which makes it a poor match if you sell B2B with complex needs.

Pricing is steep and runs on annual contracts, so plan for a real investment before you commit. You'll get the most value if experimentation and personalization are central to how you sell.

**Bottom line:** Ecwid is a simple, affordable way to launch an online store, and it's built for you if you're a small business or solo seller without much technical background. You can get a storefront running fast, but you'll outgrow it if you need deep customization or complex catalog management.

It fits best if you want to start small and sell across more than one channel. You can build a standalone site or bolt a store onto an existing one, then sell on Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Google Shopping and social platforms from the same dashboard. The free plan lets you launch with ten or fewer products and move up as you scale.

The tradeoff is depth. If you need extensive design flexibility, intelligent product recommendations or rich product attributes, you'll hit limits here. Heavier platforms like Shopify go further on those fronts.

Watch the pricing structure too. The entry point is affordable, but some paid plans carry transaction fees that matter more as your volume climbs. For a quick, low-cost launch without a steep learning curve, it's a strong pick.

**Bottom line:** Kibo is an ecommerce platform built for mid-market and enterprise sellers with complicated requirements, especially if you run B2B operations. If you need to manage large catalogs, intricate pricing and multiple sales channels from one place, it's a strong fit. Smaller shops looking for a quick, low-code storefront will likely find it heavier than they need.

It really clicks when your business spans online and offline channels. You can manage multiple brands, websites and region-specific fulfillment centers from a single dashboard, which helps when operations get sprawling.

The B2B side is where it stands out. You get account-level pricing, recurring orders and a self-service buyer portal that feels close to a B2C experience. The personalization engine, powered by Monetate, tailors recommendations using a wide range of shopper signals.

Expect to invest time upfront. The interface and terminology take getting used to, and setup can be time-consuming enough to need careful planning. Pricing starts at $299 per month and scales with the features you turn on, so you pay for what you use.

**Bottom line:** TrueCommerce is a solid EDI and unified commerce platform if you sell through major retailers and want to connect your back-office systems without building integrations from scratch. It fits supply chains of all sizes, but it leans toward sellers with steady transaction volume across many trading partners.

The big draw is reach. With pre-built maps for retailers like Amazon, Home Depot, Walmart and Target, you can get connected to partners you already work with instead of mapping each one yourself. If your growth depends on landing more retail accounts, that head start matters.

It plays well with the systems you already run. The platform ties into ERP, WMS and accounting tools so orders, invoices and documents flow without rekeying. Users like that it's easy to set up and that support answers quickly when something breaks.

The tradeoffs are real, though. You'll run into click-heavy screens, occasional slowdowns and errors that aren't easy to figure out. Documentation is thin, so plan to lean on support early. Pricing is subscription-based and scales with volume and partner count, so model your costs before you commit.

* **Trading partner maps** – Search a library of pre-built maps to connect with retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot, Costco and Target.
* **Transaction manager** – A web-based EDI translator turns data into documents like invoices and purchase orders, and converts them back.
* **Centralized document exchange** – Send and receive documents from one place using UN/EDIFACT, ASC X12 and XML, with secure HTTP, FTP, AS1 and AS2 connections.
* **EDI integration** – Connects with your existing ERP or accounting software to move transactions and cut manual errors.
* **Managed service** – The provider handles software maintenance and upgrades, so you skip the technical lift of running EDI on-premise.

**Bottom line:** Salesforce Commerce Cloud is built for mid-market and enterprise sellers who need a scalable, AI-driven, omnichannel storefront. If you're a small shop watching every dollar, the cost and complexity will likely push you toward something simpler.

It really shines when you already run on Salesforce. Connecting with Sales Cloud and Service Cloud gives you a single view of each customer, so you can personalize experiences across every touchpoint. That tie-in is a big part of why people pick it over standalone platforms.

The order management side is a standout if you deal with high volumes or intricate supply chains. It handles inventory, shipping and returns without breaking a sweat, and the omnichannel reach keeps things consistent wherever customers shop.

The tradeoff is the learning curve. The platform packs a lot in, and that depth takes time to master, especially if you're newer to eCommerce or short on technical staff. Pricing runs premium and is based on your sales volume, so budgeting takes some planning. For a serious online presence with room to grow, it's worth the investment.

**Bottom line:** Wix works best if you're a small or growing online store that wants to get selling fast without hiring a developer. The drag-and-drop editor and ready-made store templates let you launch quickly, and built-in payments mean you can take orders right away.

It fits you well if your catalog is modest and your design needs are fairly standard. You get inventory tracking, shipping and tax rules by location, and even dropshipping, all from one dashboard.

The tradeoff shows up as you grow. You can't reach the source code, so deep customization isn't possible, and a lot of the features you'd want for serious selling come as paid add-ons. That can make the running cost add up for a large inventory or a rapidly scaling business.

Pricing starts around $16 per month, which is affordable to start. Just go in knowing the templates are great for getting a clean store live cheaply, but heavy customization and scale are where you'll feel the limits.

### Types

Ecommerce platforms are a set of comprehensive tools that let you effectively design, manage and maintain an online storefront. Think of them as a digital shopping mall where anyone can set up stores and sell their products. They provide all the necessary tools to manage inventory, create catalogs, accept payments and handle shipping. You can do all of this without leaving the confines of your home while the platform keeps you updated in real time.

These solutions are useful for businesses of all sizes and can cater to every industry looking to digitize operations and sell online. There are a few types of eCommerce platforms based on software architecture and integrations. The major ones are:

#### Open-source

These are free eCommerce platforms that have their source code publicly available. You can modify every aspect of the code to suit your business requirements. It’s a flexible option that allows developers to design custom features and integrate third-party apps to enhance the platform’s capabilities.

But you should note that you’re responsible for hosting, maintaining and securing the system. The cost of these solutions can be deceiving as the total cost of ownership significantly goes up due to security and maintenance charges.

#### Headless

These specialized solutions separate the backend features from the frontend, allowing you to run multiple online storefronts using a centralized backend platform. Typically, the backend consists of features that help run the store, like shopping carts, order management, customer experience management, product information management and fulfillment. It decouples these features from the frontend, which are your website design and interface.

It allows you to design multiple storefronts and use API to connect them with the centralized backend module. This architecture is extremely useful for enterprises and large businesses that handle multiple brands and need separate websites. You can also create unique frontends for different types of web-browsing devices like desktops, mobile apps, mobile web pages and IoT experiences.

#### Traditional

Traditional systems have the quickest [time-to-market](https://www.tcgen.com/time-to-market/). They are ideal for small and medium-sized businesses looking to quickly design an eCommerce site and start selling their products.

It doesn’t offer unlimited customizations like headless and open-source platforms as the vendor takes charge of hosting the software, compiling features and updating systems. Its unique selling point lies in simplicity and comprehensiveness, which lets you quickly launch an eCommerce website in exchange for a monthly subscription fee.

### Deployment Methods

With the ongoing boom in the eCommerce software market, there is an ever-increasing demand for diverse deployment. Comparing each of these options and choosing the best fit for your business can be a daunting task. Here’s a quick look at the benefits and drawbacks of each option:

#### On-premise

With this method, your business purchases the software or its license and installs it on proprietary computers; on-premises deployment doesn’t need internet access to work. Large businesses with personal servers, infrastructure and IT specialists usually opt for this option.

It gives businesses absolute control over the software and any proprietary data it collects and manages. This is the ideal option for ensuring compliance with applicable government rules and regulations for data protection and security.

Although this option offers a comparatively lower cost over time due to no subscription fees, it has a lot of costs that aren’t related to purchasing the software itself. Expenditures for hardware, maintenance, hiring and training IT professionals, upgrading, and scaling the software later all contribute to the hidden costs of on-premise deployment, making it quite an expensive investment with a higher cost of entry. This is another reason why larger enterprises are usually the ones to opt for on-premises software since they already have IT resources in place to justify these costs.

#### Cloud-based

In this model, the software package and its associated data are stored in third-party cloud servers and are accessible through the internet. Most cloud-based solutions are available as [Software as a Service (SaaS)](https://www.selecthub.com/resources/saas/), which bundles all the infrastructure, hosting and functionality into one package.

However, nowadays, you can pick and choose which elements to host in the cloud. Essentially, enterprises can outsource whatever limitations they might have with this flexible deployment method. Some of the variants:

* **IaaS:** Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) outsources the infrastructure required to run the software, such as networking, storage and servers from third-party providers. Meanwhile, you maintain control over the application, data, runtime and operating system. This option is for businesses looking for maximum control of the software environment; an example of IaaS would be Amazon Web Services ([AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/)) providing the database to Netflix for housing all of its content.  
 This model is for big enterprises seeking complete control over business processes and data handling. It’s also beneficial for growing companies due to its flexible scalability — you can scale servers up and down on demand according to business growth.
* **PaaS:** Although not that prevalent in the eCommerce industry, Platform as a Service (PaaS) outsources the infrastructure as well as the software environment, including databases, runtime, middleware and more, while maintaining control over the application and its data only. Examples include [Magento](https://www.selecthub.com/p/ecommerce-platforms/magento/), Windows Azure and AWS Beanstalk.  
 If your business is using a self-hosted [CMS](https://www.selecthub.com/c/cms-software/) or a custom-developed website and wants access to the website’s backend for additional integrations, PaaS will be ideal for you.
* **SaaS:** As mentioned previously, SaaS outsources everything, including the entire software package, data and servers. This is the most popular cloud deployment option in the online retail industry. Third-party vendors are responsible for running the software, managing and maintaining infrastructure, storing and securing data, optimizing runtime and scaling the software when requested. Some examples are [Oracle Commerce](https://www.selecthub.com/p/ecommerce-platforms/oracle-commerce/), [Etsy](https://www.selecthub.com/p/ecommerce-platforms/etsy/), [Sell on Amazon](https://www.selecthub.com/p/ecommerce-platforms/sell-on-amazon/) and more.  
This model is perfect for businesses not quite ready to invest huge sums of money on digital infrastructure but looking to have a website up and running as soon as possible.

#### Pros and Cons of Cloud Deployment

Nowadays, cloud deployment for eCommerce software is generating lots of hype. It provides consistent website speed, performance, uptime and availability. It eliminates the responsibility of handling maintenance and gives easy visibility into business processes, providing you with the time and actionable insights necessary to react to trends, solve problems and grow operations.

But it’s not all rainbows; cloud deployment has its cons as well. As an external business will be managing your infrastructure, it requires a lot more scrutiny and efficient security management to counter unauthorized access and territorial breaches. In addition, cloud deployment limits structural control over day-to-day activities and can be a nightmare for businesses not wanting to deal with external stakeholders in their operational workflow.

![Difference between the Deployment options]()

Now, which deployment method will work best for your organization depends on your unique business needs and available infrastructure, personnel and budget.

Growing businesses with limited resources might prefer an all-inclusive SaaS cloud-based deployment where the vendor handles everything for them. Larger enterprises with in-house servers and IT resources might benefit from an on-premise deployment with absolute control over privacy and application functionality.

However, these rules aren’t set in stone — it’s important to thoroughly consider your unique business requirements before choosing which deployment option is right for you.

### Primary Benefits

#### Sell 24x7

One of the prime advantages of having an online store is the capability to sell to customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Business hours are no longer restricted by physical locations and staffing concerns. Customers can digitally place orders at their leisure, from any timezone.

#### Expand Customer Base

Sell your products and services to customers all over the world, unhindered by time, geography and boundaries. Harness the power of the internet in this digital age to reach even the most remote location and trade with people from different parts of the world.

#### Minimize Costs

If you tally up all the expenses and costs of running a business, managing an online store is comparatively cheaper than running a brick-and-mortar store. Ecommerce eliminates rent, worker wages and utility bills, among many other things. Factoring in the additional functionalities offered by eCommerce software, paying a monthly subscription fee is more economical and manageable.

#### Centralize Management

Monitor and run the entire business from a single screen. Manage inventory, optimize marketing, receive payments, track and fulfill orders, provide shipping options, deal with chargebacks, store customer data and interact with customers, all within the same software.

#### Sell Unlimited Products

In contrast to a traditional retail location, which has limited storage space to accommodate a finite number of products, an online store has no limitation on the number of products that you can carry, display, and sell. Sell an unlimited number of products and services; organize them into catalogs and directories for quick search and navigation, which result in shorter selling cycles and provide maximum revenue with minimal investment.

#### Increase Efficiency

Ecommerce software can drastically increase productivity and efficiency via automation and accessibility. Users of all technical knowledge levels can design stores and customize their functionalities. The platform automates a large part of marketing campaigns, streamlines site administration and simplifies region-specific tax calculation. It subsequently simplifies work processes and frees up associates to focus on problem-solving.

### Implementation Goals

Before selecting software, outline the goals, benefits and expected return on investment (ROI) for your eCommerce website by creating a business case. It should include both long-term and short-term goals and specify targets.

For example, you should decide beforehand whether the company is shifting to eCommerce to reduce cost-per-transactions or to generate incremental revenue across a broader geography. Having this business case ready will help you prioritize the right software based on your unique KPIs.

As examples, we have listed a few implementation goals to follow during the selection process, but these are very broad rules - proper evaluation of company expectations and resources on a case-by-case basis is imperative when selecting software.

| **Goal 1** Streamline Operations         | The right tool will make it easier to manage all retail connections, marketing, selling, fulfillment activities and analytics from a unified platform. You can quickly and easily approve products, monitor listings, manage chargebacks, optimize marketing efforts and much more.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Goal 2** Real-time Pricing and Updates | Various external elements have an effect on businesses’ operations and profitability. Volatile factors like market or weather conditions, customer demands and sales fluctuations can make or break profit margins. That's why it’s crucial to be able to react quickly to such variables and scale pricing in your favor. For example, if the freight rates suddenly change because of bad weather, your eCommerce solution should allow you to instantly change product pricing to reflect the anomaly and cover any opportunity loss. All in all, your eCommerce software should expand the domain you monitor and let you quickly react to changes within the said domain. |
| **Goal 3** Cater to Your Customers       | Like brick-and-mortar stores, or any other business for that matter, knowing the customers you cater to is one of the most important steps for a successful business. Before implementing eCommerce, find out how an online store can make your customers’ lives easier and whether they want one. It is also crucial for your eCommerce platform to provide you with relevant customer data, like unique visitors, pages per session, abandoned carts, top page exits and other similar metrics. Choose software that feeds you accurate information to make better decisions.                                                                                                |
| **Goal 4** Scale With Business Growth    | In order to maximize the full potential of your platform, you will need flexible software that can scale continually and expand quickly as your business grows. Ride the current boom in the eCommerce market by quickly setting up omnichannel commerce systems from the dashboard and increasing inventory visibility across multiple marketplaces.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| **Goal 5** Enable Integrations           | An eCommerce solution is not a standalone system. In order to succeed, it must integrate with third-party backend systems, whether existing or new. Consult with your IT team and make a checklist of all the software like CRM, [ERP](https://www.selecthub.com/c/erp-software/) and [BI](https://www.selecthub.com/c/business-intelligence-tools/) that would need integration with your future eCommerce platform. Choose a flexible solution that not only connects with your existing systems seamlessly but also provides room for future technology upgrades and changes.                                                                                               |

### Basic Features & Functionality

The above list will provide you with a framework for choosing the unique features you’ll need in your solution. There are a lot of features packed in eCommerce software these days, but identifying your fundamental requirements sets a solid foundation for the selection process. Here’s a list of some basic features to start:

![Ecommerce Software Features]()

| Website Design                                                                    | Choose from available templates and preset designs to build a professional website. Alternatively, change the source code with HTML or CSS editors to personalize the store even further.

### Current & Upcoming Trends

![eCommerce Platforms Trends]()

Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses have been scampering to set up online storefronts. Many consumers have picked online shopping as their preferred mode of shopping as eCommerce ushers in an era of ease and convenience. According to a survey, the pandemic accelerated 70% of the creation of new digital models and revenue streams. On top of that, [annual eCommerce revenue](https://www.statista.com/outlook/dmo/ecommerce/united-states#:) in the U.S. is expected to grow at an 11.51% CAGR to reach $1,563 billion by 2027.

Another report shows that in 2022, over [2.3 billion customers made at least one online purchase](https://www.tidio.com/blog/online-shopping-statistics/) — putting this into perspective, one out of every three people you meet is an online buyer!

With changes occurring at such a high pace, it’s important to track trends and keep a finger on the pulse of the industry.

In this section, we’ll discuss four upcoming trends crucial for online entrepreneurs in 2023\. If you want a more in-depth take, consider checking out our article on [eCommerce trends](https://www.selecthub.com/ecommerce/ecommerce-trends/).

#### Omnichannel Strategies

With the end of the pandemic, we witnessed 50% fewer [physical store closings](https://coresight.com/research/coresight-bites-us-store-openings-and-closures-2022-review-and-2023-outlook/) and 1% more openings compared to 2021\. It makes 2022 the only year to record net-positive store openings since 2016! You can no longer afford to only stick to online channels to sell your products.

As shoppers return to physical stores, you should focus on offering a consistent brand experience across both online and offline channels. In 2023, reports suggest that 54% of consumers will likely [search online and buy in-store](https://www.shopify.com/in/plus/commerce-trends), while 53% will do the opposite.

As an entrepreneur, you must aim to create a fluid omnichannel experience as customers like to engage with businesses on different channels pre- and post-purchase.

#### Mobile Shopping

Shopping via mobile devices allows customers to purchase from anywhere in the world. If your eCommerce platform doesn’t support mobile responsive design, you’ll be missing out on big opportunities. In 2022, [mobile devices](https://www.statista.com/statistics/568684/e-commerce-website-visit-and-orders-by-device/) accounted for 74% of retail website traffic and generated 63% of the total online shopping orders. Not only that, reports suggest that [mCommerce](https://www.insiderintelligence.com/topics/industry/mcommerce) or mobile commerce can account for 69.9% of total retail eCommerce sales by 2024.

In this day and age, it’s crucial to optimize your websites and offer smooth navigation, responsive designs and easy payment options for customers visiting your site via mobile devices. You can also consider using [progressive web apps (PWA)](https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/definition/progressive-web-app-PWA) to offer a smooth and consistent brand experience.

#### Social Commerce

Social commerce is when you use social media platforms to sell your products. Till now, we’ve used these platforms as a marketing tool — integrating brand and user-generated content to offer personalized marketing campaigns for customers based on their history and interest on social media. But now, it’s time to facilitate direct online purchases from social media using marketplace features like [buy buttons](https://www.facebook.com/business/news/Discover-and-Buy-Products-on-Facebook-Test), [checkout options](https://about.instagram.com/blog/announcements/introducing-instagram-checkout) and [shopping links](https://shop.tiktok.com/business/en).

We saw $992 billion in [global eCommerce sales via social media platforms](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1251145/social-commerce-sales-worldwide/) in 2022, which can nearly triple by 2026! On top of that, studies reveal that the [social commerce market](https://www.accenture.com/us-en/insights/software-platforms/why-shopping-set-social-revolution?) can grow three times faster than the traditional eCommerce market.

You must consider social media platforms as online channels to sell your products, or your business might get left behind. Ecommerce platforms can streamline social commerce by integrating with every social media platform and allowing you to share your campaigns, catalogs and products on each channel with a few clicks.

#### Personalization and Ban of Third-party Cookies

A recent [Salesforce report](https://www.salesforce.com/eu/resources/research-reports/state-of-the-connected-customer/) revealed that 73% of consumers prefer it when businesses understand their needs and expectations, and 62% expect them to anticipate their needs based on search and navigation history. Also, 88% of customers mentioned that the experience a company provides is as important as its product or services.

But there are online privacy concerns worldwide, and 35% of U.S. customers across generations are highly [concerned about data privacy](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1052516/us-consumer-concerns-on-data-privacy/). This has led to Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox banning third-party cookies, which were the primary way for businesses to collect customer data and determine what they want to personalize their journeys.

As an online entrepreneur, it’s high time to rethink how your business engages with customers and offer relevant experiences with tightening regulations and the death of third-party cookies.

The same Salesforce report found that a trust-based economy is the way forward. 88% of consumers believe trust becomes more important in times of change, like a global pandemic or climate change. 77% of customers want businesses to make honest claims about their products, 75% want actions with customers’ best interests in mind, and 68% expect them to tell the truth.

### Software Comparison Strategy

The eCommerce industry is growing by leaps and bounds. With [retail sales](https://www.statista.com/statistics/379046/worldwide-retail-e-commerce-sales/) expected to reach $8.1 trillion by 2026, there couldn’t have been a better time to be in this industry. But due to the growing popularity, there are several options when it comes to eCommerce platforms.

Comparing software to find the right eCommerce tool for your business can be tricky, but it doesn’t have to be. One good place to start is checking your competitors’ preferences; what tools are they using? However, we recommend starting with a [requirements checklist](https://www.selecthub.com/ecommerce/ecommerce-system-requirements/). Gather your business executives and department heads to discuss and prioritize the top functions you’d need from an eCommerce platform. It helps sift through the options and identify the ideal ones that fit your business needs.

A few additional factors to consider while evaluating software are:

* **Deployment mode:** Choose a suitable deployment option based on your business’s IT infrastructure and expertise.
* **Integrations:** The platform must connect with your existing software stack. Otherwise, you’ll have to manually enter data in disparate systems.
* **Support programs:** Choose a vendor that offers adequate support throughout their association with your business.
* **Acceptable payment modes:** Make sure the software can manage every payment mode your business accepts, especially if you offer unique fulfillment solutions like [BOPIS and curbside pickups](https://www.bigcommerce.com/articles/ecommerce/bopis/).
* **Marketing channel integrations:** Not every software connects with every marketing channel and marketplace. You must ensure the system of your choice connects with every channel, social media and marketplace your business chooses to market and sell on.
* **The number of products:** Some platforms put a cap on the maximum number of products you can sell. Make sure you can onboard and manage your entire product catalog comfortably.

Beyond the requirements checklist, you can consider reading product reviews online, contacting past customers and requesting product demos or free trials before the final purchase. Remember, eCommerce software selection is an extensive process, but ultimately, implementing the right tool is worth taking the extra time.

### Cost & Pricing Considerations

The cost of eCommerce software can vary greatly depending on the features provided. This is where assembling your requirements list comes in handy; while searching for the right eCommerce tool, you can compare offerings against your needs and make sure you only pay for exactly what modules and functionalities are necessary.

It’s also useful to fix a budget before starting the selection process, as the sheer number of features and add-ons available in the market can sway your decision otherwise. Depending on your budget, you need to choose a package that delivers all the features you need in your eCommerce software; any add-ons or extensions will cost you extra.

Another thing to look out for is the support provided by the vendor for both onboarding and maintenance. If you do not have in-house IT specialists to help with onboarding, site design and server maintenance, you may want to invest in a vendor that provides extensive customer support and well-structured training programs.

### Questions To Ask Yourself

Use these questions as a starting point for internal conversations:

* Do you have a physical store, or are you planning on running a digital store only?
* What’s your deployment strategy?
* Do you have an in-house IT team to provide technical support?
* What shipping options will you implement?
* What other software integrations do you need?
