It’s no secret that e-commerce is a rapidly growing area of retail. Last year, online sales of physical goods amounted to $446.8 billion<\/span><\/a>, and e-commerce sales are expected to exceed $700 billion in 2022. E-commerce conglomerate Amazon will celebrate their 25th anniversary next year, and projections indicate<\/span><\/a> that the company will be responsible for half of all online sales within three years – Amazon currently commands approximately 37 percent of the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

These numbers indicate a strong industry for up-and-coming retailers and even brick-and-mortar stores who want to expand into the online marketplace. However, there are lots of platforms to choose from and it can be challenging for those just starting an e-commerce business to choose the right system for their needs. <\/span><\/p>\n

The most critical features for any e-commerce platform are payment processing and inventory management. After these, retailers will want to weigh security features and the user-friendliness and design of the platform. With these in mind, we’ve researched and narrowed the list to 10 top e-commerce platforms for retail businesses, listed alphabetically…<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: We’re not listing Etsy or Ebay in this article, since vintage and handmade goods are the only items permitted for sale on Etsy, and Ebay is best for individuals selling collectors items or belongings for<\/i> cash.<\/span><\/p>\n
