Top Considerations for Selecting an Online Shopping Cart

4. Make certain you're future-proofed. Even though a chosen e-commerce platform may have a lot of features and suit a merchant's needs today, there will almost certainly come a time when the merchant needs to customize some business logic into the platform. In the past, if an online merchant using a hosted shopping cart needed to change a major feature like a shipping provider, it would most likely need to switch its shopping cart. Not an optimal solution! Remember, change is constant, and you should be able to modify anything in your store, at any time.
