SAN FRANCISCO , Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In the past 12 months, shares of Shopify are down about 50% and are currently hovering around $727. The ecommerce company anticipates revenue growth for the full year to be lower than the 57% achieved in 2021.(1) The rise of e-Commerce 3.0 has been a catalyst for major changes in e-Commerce, precipitated by COVID and the great resignation over the past couple of years. The pent-up demand forced upon e-Commerce by the pandemic and intolerant consumers who are demanding ease and speed of use have been the byproducts of these catalysts. Small- to medium-sized e-Commerce businesses cannot afford to let consumers down, particularly in terms of fulfilment. "A major component of e-Commerce 3.0 centers on fulfilment," says Mikel Lindsaar, CEO and Founder of StoreConnect, an eCommerce 3.0 system that integrates multiple systems into one solution run from a single platform.

Key Points: 
  • To succeed in today's e-Commerce landscape requires a fully integrated solution, fulfillment being a crucial factor, according to Mikel Lindsaar, CEO and Founder of StoreConnect.

  • (5) In terms of e-Commerce 3.0, fulfilment is a factor that can make or break a business.
  • Lindsaar claims that more e-Commerce businesses will be opting for a fully integrated e-Commerce solution as e-Commerce 3.0 heats up.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Italian Supervisory Authority (SA) recently ruled that Google Analytics was non-compliant with EU data protection rules. They banned the popular analytics tool, finding that the protections Google applied were not sufficient to address the risk, and the use of Google Analytics violates the bloc's data protection rules over the data export issue.(1) Compounding the trouble, an e-Commerce website using Google Analytics without the safeguards set out in the EU GDPR violates data protection law putting any e-Commerce business at a major risk. "Now more than ever, small and mid-size companies need to own their data," explains Mikel Lindsaar, StoreConnect CEO.
