      Tips on Choosing a Shopping Cart for your Online Store

      E-Commerce is a big thing among entrepreneurs and majority of them want to have their own unique stores. Being a booming industry a lot of turnkey solutions/platforms have sprang up to offer aspiring entrepreneurs with little technical knowledge to launch their own online stores. However, with plenty comes confusion and entrepreneurs are facing predicament in choosing the right platform that suits their business.

      While many solutions offer some common features and others try to be unique by offering their services at lower prices. Others try to do it by offering flexibility and customization. That’s the reason I’m giving you working tips on picking the right shopping cart solution for your e-commerce store.

      Some of the main features you must consider when deciding which e-commerce to pick for your business:-

      1. Customization & flexibility

      To make sure that your store is unique and stands out from your competitors, you must do a lot of customization work. In addition, the platform must have flexibility so that you can scale up your online store as and when the demand goes up. Maintaining a plain old looking online store just like others will not be received well by your clients.

      2. Ease to use

      The main reason why an e-commerce store is popular is because of the ease in shopping experience. It also applies for ecommerce platforms. For a novice entrepreneur, the most important thing is the simplicity in handling the platform. Even if the platform has more or high-end features, it will be useless if it is not easy to use. They would be spending half of their time in trying to understand when they should be concentrating on conversions and sales.

      3. User-engaging template and design

      User-engagement should be one of the main priorities when you are looking for an online store. If your online store is not user-friendly and engaging, there is no point in having one. The platform, as such, should have a solid design that meets all the parameters of being user-friendly.

      4. Price of the platform

      It is common among entrepreneurs to be confused when it comes considering features of the platform and the price. Since most online store owners have little capital they cannot go for some of the high-end feature-rich platforms which cost a lot, the best option they can do is to pick a platform that suits their budget and later move forward.

      5. Secure security architecture

      Remember that security of your online store and your customer data should be given top priority. As such, pick only those platforms that have solid security architecture. Your business is doomed once words get out that your online stores have been compromised.

      6. Mobile integration and support for responsive design

      With advancement in technology, smartphones are now being a part and parcel of our daily lives. So, the platform should be able to have responsive designs. Remember, your online store must be future-ready, meaning the platform should have the capability for mobile integration or room for responsive.

      7. Ability to integrate your store with popular payment systems

      In order to sell your goods and services online, your store must have the capacity to accept payments directly from customers. In fact, this is the one thing where most entrepreneurs failed. You should pick a platform that supports all the popular payments methods like net banking, credit cards, debit cards and others like PayPal so that your customers can decide which is best for them to make the transaction.

      Things to consider before selecting an ecommerce Solution

      If you are looking for an e-commerce platform you should consider crucial issues like the design side by side with the functions so that users gets the best user experience.

      The latest trend among most businesses is using readymade e-commerce platforms that come with hosts of inbuilt features. The main reasons why readymade solutions are hugely popular is because of their ease in setting up and way cheaper. E-commerce website like Amazon has built a successful business model with lots of traffic and massive sales. What we learned from Amazon is that good designs are must for e-commerce sites to be successful as they keep customers engaged.

      Here are some important features/things you should consider if you are looking for an ecommerce solution.

      1. A Standard Platform

      There are many popular e-commerce platforms right now. Some of them are Magento, Oscommerce, Etsy, Prestashop, Opencart etc. Picking the correct platform that reflects your business is very essential. Also look for a solution that is affordable. Remember that using cheap or even a free platform may not be good for you as they have limited functions. So, instead of spending too much time on free platforms it is better to pick a platform that gives you more functions at the lowest cost.

      2. Availability of OS support

      Remember to select an ecommerce platform that has support for multiple operating systems
