Software development and hardware production are one side of the IT business. The implementation of these products is quite different, in which online trading is gaining more and more importance. Just look at the statistics, and we will see that from 2017 to 2020, the global online trading market has almost doubled: from $ 2.3 trillion to $ 4.5 trillion. The numbers are impressive, right?
A very important "but"
It seems that this is globalization at work. Now there is no local binding, incredible opportunities have opened up, but there is an important "but"! And this "but" lies in the regional specificity. To bring solutions to the market of another country, you need to know the peculiarities of taxation, ensure convenient payment of decisions and compliance of documents with the requirements of the legislation, and finally provide technical support in the state language. And this is already a serious obstacle, which e-commerce online services help to cope with.
Let's go beyond
Various online services help to cope with the above difficulties, a kind of aggregators that are ready to become intermediaries between sellers from any country and buyers around the world. However, there are nuances here, because all the offers are significantly different and each time you have to look for the best of them. But, be that as it may, online E-commerce services allow you to focus on the development and improvement of the product, and not on its implementation.
