Today, most Indian consumers rely on online stores to make their purchases. With online commerce penetrating the Indian market by 74%, close to 329.1 million people are projected to buy goods and services via online stores by 2020.
With that being said, we can all agree with the fact that there’s a massive rise in online stores in the e-commerce industry today. But, we simply cannot put aside the problems these stores face. Amongst choosing the right niche and profitability, most small online businesses face trouble with infrastructure.
From building a solid, functional website, hosting it, all the way to integrating the right payment gateway, online businesses fall back on these basics that can really help them click.
It’s also difficult to understand complex documentation with off-the-shelf e-commerce plugins or to find alternate solutions as they can be very pricey and time-consuming.
If you run an online business trying to set up your online store, or if you’re a freelancer trying to build your website so you can sell your products and services, then you know what we’re talking about.
So, how do we make this process effortless?
