How to choose E-commerce Platforms tools

Start with what you sell and where customers buy it. A simple store has different needs from a business handling several sales channels, while an existing website may only need a cart or checkout.

    • Jumpseller suits a hosted store that can also sell through social and shopping channels.

    Connect sales and operations

    Selling on several marketplaces makes inventory management and multichannel selling more important. Look for connections to the places where you already sell and the services that handle shipping.

    • Sellbrite brings orders and stock from major marketplaces into one workflow.
    • Shopping Cart Elite fits businesses coordinating inventory and orders across Amazon and eBay.
    • Sana Commerce connects an online store with Microsoft Dynamics or SAP business systems.

    • Snipcart adds a cart and checkout to an existing website, including WordPress sites.
    • Drupal Commerce supports open-source and headless store projects with an application programming interface.
    • cubecart offers an open-source store that can be self-hosted or run with managed hosting.
