In the modern digital world, developing an eCommerce site is not just an optional way of operating a business, especially in the context of a competitive economy; it is a necessity! But how do you know which eCommerce website platform is the right one for your business when so many exist? In this blog post, we will explain how to think through the various factors to assist with identifying the eCommerce platform that works for you and how working with CV Infotech can be of service to you as you pursue the right option.

Understanding What Your Business Needs

Before we get into the nitty gritty of eCommerce website platforms, we want to take a minute to pause and think about your business needs. Are you a small startup with a few products to sell or are you already established with lots of other products? Do you want more advanced features on an e-commerce site platform like providing multiple currencies or are you just looking for something simple and user-friendly? 

At CV Infotech we recognize that there is no one-size-fits all when it comes to eCommerce platforms. Our experienced eCommerce developers want to learn about your business and assist you in choosing the option that makes the most sense for your individual needs. 

Important Considerations

There are several important considerations when it comes to developing an eCommerce site

  1. Ease of Use

If you are not a web developer, you will want a platform that is easy to use. Look for a user-friendly interface that allows for easy product updates, order tracking, and inventory management without needing a degree in computer science. CV Infotech can assist you with determining a good fit for a platform that is user-friendly, and provides some of the features you are looking for at the same time.

  1. Scalability

As your business grows, your eCommerce platform should grow with you. Some platforms may be better for a smaller retail business, whereas others can be expandable with fewer “growing pains” with high enough traffic and transaction activity. At CV infotech, we ensure that we develop your platform with resale (scalable) in mind as your business grows.

  1. Customization and Flexibility

Your eCommerce site is a representation of your brand. eCommerce platforms vary in the degree of customization for your shopping experience for your customers. The team at CV Infotech can craft a custom eCommerce site with the solution that fits within your identified brand.

  1. Security

Security is paramount in eCommerce. You will want to ensure your platform protects the customer’s personally identifiable data for various reasons that include protecting consumers and complying with all required regulations. At CV Infotech, we take security into consideration with all of the eCommerce sites developed, so customers can shop with confidence.” 

  1. Costs

Different platforms have different costs. Some eCommerce sites have a monthly platform, with others deducting a cost from sale price. Picking a platform that fits your budget is critical while allowing pages of features. At CV Infotech we will help consider the costs of an eCommerce platform against the value at each price-point when evaluating features. 

Popular eCommerce Platforms

With a better understanding of what to look for, let’s take a closer look at some popular eCommerce platforms:

1. Shopify: Great for beginners, Shopify is generally praised for how easy it is to use and receive help with. If you’re a small or medium-sized business that is just beginning, Shopify is an excellent choice.

2.Magento: An excellent platform for larger businesses, Magento is feature-rich and includes extensive customization capabilities, making it ideal for businesses with complex needs.

3.WooCommerce: A WordPress plugin, WooCommerce is extremely flexible, making it work well if you have an existing WordPress website where you want to sell.
