Choosing an e-commerce platform is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your online store. Here’s what to consider.
Key factors to consider
Before looking at specific platforms, think about:
- Product catalogue size – How many products will you sell?
- Product complexity – Variations, custom options, bundles?
- Budget – Initial build and ongoing costs
- Technical resources – Who will manage the site?
- Growth plans – Where do you see the business in 5 years?
