Ecommerce is rapidly growing to the point where it’s likely to overtake the revenue generated by brick and mortar stores in the near future. Over time, companies like Amazon, eBay and Etsy have managed to erode a lot of the uncertainty that the general public has felt toward buying products online, which means that more and more people are starting to take full advantage of what is an incredibly convenient, easy and cost-effective way to buy products.
There are lots of ways to build an ecommerce store but the good news is that all of them are pretty easy. This is thanks to the existence of ecommerce platforms that basically walk you through the set-up process and make it very easy to add items and extend the capabilities of your store with plugins and themes.
