Ecommerce has emerged as the single biggest growth driver in the worldwide marketplace. If you ask yourself, what is an e-Commerce platform, we might give you some insights to your question? At its simplest form, e-commerce platform enables a business to sell products and services online. E-commerce software provides the customer-facing front end component of an online business.

Key Features of an Ecommerce Platform

E-Commerce software will enable customers to buy your products and services from your online store. Where solutions differ is the degree to which they can unify and leverage both front and back-office applications with both their unique and shared data. An e-commerce platform should have at least the following features:

  • Run-on a single, unified platform. Eliminate integrations between separate systems with natively unified e-commerce, accounting, point of sale system, inventory and many more.
  • Provide a 360° customer view. Deliver consistent and personalized cross-channel experiences, targeted marketing and superior customer service with a single view of all customer interactions and utilize social media marketing and targeting.
  • Intelligently managing orders. Exceed and set new customer expectations for buying, fulfilling and returning purchases. Maximize profitability by centralizing order management and having a single view of inventory.
  • Deliver innovative customer experiences. Rapidly create unique, personalized and compelling mobile, web and in-store experiences to differentiate your brand and exceed customer expectations which help you to upsell, share reviews, testimonials, and product referrals.

This makes it a very suitable business to invest in; but, before beginning, an outlook of different E-commerce platforms is necessary, so as to understand which one you should be using. Different domains are popular in different countries.

While WooCommerce is, by far, the greatest platform, it must not be forgotten that it is not the most popular in all of the countries. So, before making an investment, the targeted areas and their preferences should be well studied.

Over 2 million WooCommerce Websites (about 24%) are running by 2018, alone in the US you can find over 400 thousand e-commerce websites.
