    These are very easy to use especially for those who lack in technical know -how. Yet, it provides less flexibility and modification of functions can’t be done easily. However, it is a fastest way to involve in the field of eCommerce business as it removes hurdles of applying codes.

    Some of the well known eCommerce platforms that provide hosted shopping carts are:

    • Shopify
    • Bigcommerce

  2. Self Hosted Open Source Shopping carts :

    These are recommended for experts in the industry and are much technical. This can be difficult for those who are not much computer or tech savvy. These is a need to be installed on your own host server. This means first of all you must have a self hosted website developed before adding a shopping cart to it. Developing self hosted websites is technically difficult.

    The benefit of using these open source shopping carts is that they can be configured and altered as per the need. This is the biggest advantage here while the main disadvantage is you must be tech savvy to get them installed and set up in your computer.

    Some of the self hosted eCommerce platforms are :

    • Magento
