At a time when the world was watching every move pertaining to online businesses, Michael Aldrich pioneered the concept of online shopping. In the early 1980s, his fabled rhetoric on Videotex, the then online shopping system which turbocharged eCommerce, gained immense popularity. The internet soon became an enabler to online shopping. Look at the presence of eCommerce businesses around you. In the United States alone, eCommerce registered a growth of 16% in 2016. One would be monumentally doltish to not acknowledge our ever growing dependence on online shopping.

There is no denying that the overwhelming ilk of internet-based startups rely excessively on web development teams. The case in point is that eCommerce entrepreneurs are finding it increasingly unattractive espousing web developers. The reasons are many, some which are enlisted:

Premium Prices

The intellectual services of web developers can be availed only at premium prices.

Tedious Process

Website development from scratch is a tedious process. To build a scalable site such as Amazon.com from scratch, it takes nearly 6 months.

Site Testing

Kindred champions of web development may not have expertise in site testing. It then becomes mandatory to hire a team of testers.

Dedicated Support Team

Absence of a dedicated support team will definitely undermine your eCommerce business.

Unforeseen Website Frailties

In case of unforeseen website bugs / frailties, you are required to fall back on the same team of web developers. They are bound to charge you a fortune.

Updates and Upgrades

Customers are no longer interested in mundane websites. For all intents and purposes, your eCommerce website should be upgraded and updated periodically. Relying on website developers will impede your business prospects.

Well, all the aforementioned rough patches have to be dealt with smartness. This is where shopping cart software of ShopyGen will help you sail through the rough waters. Prominent eCommerce software such as Magento, Shopify, Big Commerce etc., will help you easily out-maneuver your competitors. However, not all that glitters is gold.

Magento: Disadvantages

Magento leverages PHP. Not that PHP is bad, but PHP applications often cannot tolerate huge loads. E-commerce businesses are expected to handle huge traffic. PHP applications and websites consume gigabytes of RAM and are process heavy. Moreover, Magento platform is complicated. If you don’t understand JAVA or OOP (Object Oriented Programming) concepts, you cannot simply understand how a Magento platform works. And yes, your over reliance on the support staff can simply make the muddy waters murkier.

Of course, powerful servers will improve the performance of Magento platforms. That being said, not every entrepreneur will be able to summon up the money to invest on powerful servers. On small servers, Magento is in-efficient. Multi-layer caching is necessary. And yes, Magento is very expensive.

Shopify

The concept of transaction fees has irked the delicate pockets of many eCommerce entrepreneurs. If you use any third party payment gateway, i.e., any gateway other than Shopify payments gateway, Shopify charges you a certain transaction fee which is anywhere between 0.5% and 2% of the sale of the item. Another important aspect which is messed up in Shopify is the non-uniformity in product images. Different product images have different aspect ratios and it is not possible to get uniform crop ratios.

By the way, email hosting is not included in Shopify. Yes, domains are available but external email hosting is required.

Big Commerce

Big Commerce has been embroiled in disputes pertaining to inventory management. Not that it has hardly any options but too many features are deeply buried. It seems as if Big Commerce is doing a great disservice to inventory management section. Customizations are easier said than done. Once customizations are done, the user-interface may lose its user-friendly perception.
