As nearly as 35% people prefer to search for products through search engines like Google. Now almost every brand has its online presence and products are listed with their specifications and prices.

As a startup, you can also facilitate shoppers by not deducting shipping charges as nearly 23% of shoppers made their purchases when online stores don’t take shipping charges at all.
