Biggest Ecommerce Challenges in 2022

Personnel

There is a shortage of qualified ecommerce experts. People with the rare combination of marketing, merchandising, logistics and technology skills will continue to be hard to find.

Security

Sites going down, being hacked, or having your payment processor shutting you down are risks you need to avoid. Stay up to date, employ the right tools and have an action plan when problems occur.

Shipping & Logistics

The World Container Index shows that the price for a 40ft container is currently around $9,900. That’s 283% higher compared to the previous year.

Not Being Visible

Successful ecommerce businesses will focus on achieving high visibility and top ranking on search engine results pages. Organic SEO is still considered the best marketing investment for B2B companies and second-best for B2C.
