businesses take into consideration when selecting the best

e-commerce platform for their online retail store is its

functionality in terms of customer, order and product

management. Apart from offering the usual product

catalogs on their online stores, some entrepreneurs take

value on providing their customers with an enhanced

on-site user experience. This makes it equally important
