Some Important Factors to Consider When Choosing an eCommerce System
Hosted or Self-hosted?
Hosted platforms provide hosting as part of the service. This leaves you to work on your website and marketing, while your ecommerce provider takes care of everything from server management to security updates, making it easier for you to set up and manage your store. Some popular hosted ecommerce platforms include Shopify, BigCommerce, and Wix.
Even with a hosted service, you will still need the support and service provided by a professional e-commerce agency, which is where we come it.
Pricing and fees
Some platforms like Shopify, charge a monthly fee, while others charge a transaction fee based on sales, like Adobe Commerce. Other platforms are fully open-source, like Magento Community and WooCommerce don't charge monthly or by turnover. These systems are more complex to maintain and support but offer greater autonomy and flexibility.
Customization and Design
Having a responsive, visually appealing and user-friendly website is crucial for attracting and retaining customers. In general, there are a plethora of templates available for most popular ecommerce platforms. However the choice of a template is a crucial building block of your online store and this is where experience is vital, which is where we come in.
