eCommerce Comparison White Paper: Magento, Odoo, PrestaShop & Shopify

September 7, 2017

Over the past few years, internet purchases have dramatically increased. Current statistics show that purchases made online have doubled between 2014 and 2015. The convenience of online shopping has made it the preferred medium for many shoppers with products and services at their fingertips via their smartphones or tablets. For example, consumer’s cart of online purchases on a mobile device has risen significantly during this time. In 2015, an average of 500€ of online purchases has been made via mobile by Europeans and $670 for US consumers. The eCommerce boom doesn’t seem to feel the effects of “economic crisis” as it continues to rise. Projections for the coming years show an even greater increase in these figures as a greater number of consumers convert to online shopping mediums.

And so it is with online retail, where marketplaces like Amazon, Alibaba, Mircado Libre and Flipkart have become the first stop for many shoppers.
