1.Advices
I think the most common mistake in e-commerce is the lack of detailed information of the products. Provide information about the product, because if you don’t, the costumer will go in other place to look for it and maybe but it from there.
Another mistake is the complication of the check-out process, buying from a website should be simple and fast; no one likes a complicated and long buying process.
An e-commerce site should have big product images and from different angles because the customer wants to see the product in every way possible.
You also need to provide multiple payment solutions, a good search engine and related products options.
