E-commerce Platforms, ranked

The ways to sell things online — hosted platforms, a store you host yourself, and marketplaces with the buyers built in — ranked on how fast you can open, what the fees really add up to, and how far each one scales. Every company scored on the same rubric: what it does, what it costs, how fast it delivers, and who it’s for.
