Did you know that 86% Indians shopped online subsequent to Covid-19 in 2020?

That’s right!  

With the onset of the pandemic, people across age groups adopted online shopping in their daily lives. This implies that small businesses who previously only had a physical presence had to now move their business online as part of their Business Continuity Plans. 

Although e-commerce has been around for quite some time, smaller businesses always hesitated from moving online for multiple reasons. Some of them are — lack of awareness, costs involved, operational feasibility, lack of trust, etc. Most importantly, the absence of a complete platform that can help business owners seamlessly manage their e-commerce business.

However, we are now witnessing a trend where businesses are slowly & steadily taking their store online. As a result, widening their customer reach & business opportunities. Nevertheless, the current options to go online (prices of online stores) are way too expensive for smaller businesses. 

Without question, there is a dire need for an e-commerce platform that is intuitive & affordable. Not to mention — one that will help you with your growth & expansion goals. But how do you decide & pick that one appropriate store? 🤔
