That’s not all! The Mercury AI app simplifies the process of crafting marketing texts for your store and social media, using AI-generated copy tailored to match your brand voice.
Ecommerce Trend 3: Personalization Is a Must
71% of consumers want companies to give them personalized interactions, and if they don’t like their experience, three out of four will switch to another company.
A great way to enhance customer experience is by providing personalized deals. Discounts can drive significant traffic and sales, especially during peak shopping seasons.

However, personalization extends beyond just offering deals. The website experience matters, too.

Ecommerce Trend 4: Enhanced User Experience
Did you know that 88% of online consumers are less likely to return to a site after a bad experience?
User experience is paramount, and Ecwid’s latest tools are here to ensure your customers enjoy seamless navigation.

Custom Instant Site sections allow you to tailor your storefront to reflect your brand’s unique style. From interactive elements to bespoke contact forms, personalization has never been easier — or more impactful.
Ecommerce Trend 5: SEO Optimization Matters
Search engine optimization continues to be a critical component of online visibility. Organic search produces 27% of overall website traffic for retail, making SEO one of the critical factors in driving online sales.
Ecwid’s introduction of custom URL slugs enables your product pages to rank higher in search results. Clean, descriptive URLs not only attract more traffic but also create a trustworthy link that stands out to both Google and potential customers.

Ecommerce Trend 6: Video Content Reigns Supreme
Videos are a powerful marketing tool — product pages with videos convert 80% better than those without.

Ecommerce Trend 8: Global Payment Solutions
One of the primary reasons for cart abandonment is the absence of a preferred payment option. Not to mention, expanding your payment options is crucial for international market reach.
