E-commerce and online stores form the foundation of many of the advancements in web technology. The largest pioneers in Internet technology monetize by either selling products or helping other sell products through the web. With each advancement in technology, from mobile, to NFC, to social media, e-commerce finds new ways to thrive and take advantage of the platform to obtain new customers or increase market share.

Although e-commerce sites can take on a variety of different models, the most popular platform is Magento – built to be scalable and flexible for online stores. Magento provides a variety of product configuration options, inventory control, reporting, customer management, and plugin integration. With its primary version released as open-source, the platform can be customized for specific display configuration, or integrated with other tools and systems. One of Magento's key features is its capability to scale as the company grows. With both open source, professional, and enterprise versions of the software, the company can scale to use a distributed platform with multiple servers and load balancing as the number of customers increase. In addition, as one of the most popular online stores, Magento has pre-built integration available for a large variety of different payment processors.

With complex products of distribution, a fully custom store may provide a better solution. Security and speed are paramount in store development, to keep sensitive customer information from falling into the wrong hands, and provide fast speed for users accessing the website. Fully custom solutions can also provide more appealing front-end designs and use advanced technology such as AJAX for a more responsive product catalog.
