Top 5 Ecommerce Platforms for Your Online Fashion Store

20/09/2017 | Share:

If you have a genuine love of fashion, launching your online clothing store is a great way to become your own boss.

However when it comes to providing your customers with a seamless and secure shopping experience, which ecommerce platform do you choose?

To help you make your decision, let’s take a look at our top 5 ecommerce platforms for your online fashion store.

1. Shopify

Shopify is one of the top ecommerce platforms in the world. Founded in 2006, Shopify now powers over 100,000 online retailers. From start-ups to large ecommerce organisations, the straightforward platform can be as powerful and scalable as your ecommerce business needs it to be.

2. Core Commerce

Core Commerce was founded in 2008 and is ideal for setting up a small online fashion store. With a strong focus on getting an ecommerce business up and running as quickly as possible; Core Commerce provides business owner’s with a straight forward set-up solution and online customer’s with a secure shopping experience.

3. Big Commerce

A favourite of small to medium sized online retailers, Big Commerce was founded in 2009 and can be easily configured in only a few hours. This means even if you don’t have much experience setting up an online fashion store, you can be up and running within in a very short period of time.

Furthermore Big Commerce is used by over 50,000 online stores, and as it’s easy to customise, an experienced website developer can create a really exciting customer journey and shopping cart experience.

4. Magento

Magento was founded in 2005 and is very popular ecommerce platform amongst large online retailers including Mothercare and Nike.

An open source system, the Magento platform can be customised in line with an online retailers preferred customer journey, however this does mean that due to the amount of expert coding required, you will need to source the services of a professional website design team or agency.

5. Volusion

Cloud based shopping system Volusion was originally founded in 1999. Powering over 40,000 online stores, the system provides fresh and clean navigation. Not as customisable as other more powerful ecommerce platforms, Volusion will offer your customers a secure and simplistic shopping cart experience.

So as you can see, depending on which ecommerce platform you choose, you could be up and running within days of deciding to launch your own online fashion store.
