The classification can be carried out according to two main criteria:
technical deficiencies;
non-technical.
The first category includes:
insufficient level of reliability and safety, lack of approved system standards;
software development is business owner database carried out at a continuous pace, and therefore there is instability in their functioning;
poor network bandwidth;
Some providers insist on using a specific software and type of web server;
in some cases, it is difficult to integrate software or a website for e-commerce with existing databases and applications;
The user's device operating system may be incompatible with the e-business program for a number of reasons.
Disadvantages of eCommerce
Non-technical disadvantages:
High cost of developing an application and its implementation on the Internet. It should also be mentioned that due to the lack of experience of the creator, a large number of technical errors may appear during launch.
Consumer distrust. A new website with an unfamiliar name makes users doubt its reliability. Most people prefer to visit a real point of sale rather than overcome their uncertainty and start interacting with an unknown virtual seller.
Difficulties in ensuring data privacy and secure transactions on the Internet.
Lack of opportunity to study the product. Buyers want to, as they say, try out certain types of goods by touch. In online stores, such contact is excluded.
Applications are constantly changing as technology evolves.
Some citizens do not have access to the Internet either because there is no connection at all (for example, if we are talking about a remote village) or because of the high cost of communication.
