By clicking on the shown products, they will be redirected to a model window where customers can hit the BUY button there and then.

2017 saw on-demand deliveries surge significantly. And this will likely continue in 2018. Special emphasis should be on Same-Delivery Services; as leading businessmen believe it will become one of the chief USPs of most e-commerce brands.

The major focus of most e-commerce businesses will be to make their websites strongly responsive to popular mobile OS. Plus, more marketing integrations to improve mobile shopping experience will be seen taking place.
