Lack of planning leads businesses to select the wrong platform for their eCommerce venture and is often the reason behind this colossal failure rate in eCommerce. The eCommerce platform you choose to run your business can either help you achieve all of your business goals, or take your business down. Overlooking the importance of platform selection could be the most costly mistake you could make.
Your Business Model Is Unique
eCommerce businesses fail due to several reasons, and one of the reasons is not choosing the right platform. Owners make the mistake of obsessing over a specific platform, relying on Google research, biased eCommerce experts, or on word of mouth to finalize an eCommerce platform for their businesses.
