Ecommerce CMS: key features to look for in 2023

The ecommerce industry is rapidly growing, with projections indicating that global ecommerce retail sales will reach $3.45 trillion, accounting for nearly 14% of all global retail sales in 2019, and 95% of all purchases are expected to be completed via ecommerce by 2040. To thrive in this expanding market, businesses need an appropriate content management system (CMS) to handle website content efficiently. An ecommerce CMS manages various content types, such as page layouts, product descriptions, and promotional elements. There are two main hosting options for CMSs: hosted and self-hosted. Hosted CMSs, offered by SaaS providers like Shopify and Squarespace, allow users to easily set up stores without technical expertise, as these platforms handle hosting, infrastructure, and security. On the other hand, self-hosted CMSs, such as WordPress and Magento, require users to download and maintain the software themselves, offering more flexibility and customization through open-source access but demanding technical knowledge for development and data protection responsibilities.
