When running an online business, one should comply with specific regulations. The European Union is special in a way that companies here should not only observe laws of their countries, but also the European Law. Three main documents regulating online businesses within the EU are E-Commerce Directive (Directive 2000/31/EC), the GDPR- General Data Protection Regulation (Directive 2016/679), and Consumer Rights Directive (Directive 2011/83/EU).
Coronavirus: business impact and further strategy
The Coronavirus pandemic has brought a lot of challenges and changes to businesses. Companies had to rethink their operations, work organization, relations with customers, supply chains.

In this article, we will have a look-back on the past couple of months of the lockdown and share our ideas on further actions.
Launching a subscription eCommerce business
In the previous article, we discussed some benefits of eCommerce subscriptions and product ideas. Now we want to share a basic guideline on launching a subscription eCommerce business. What stages you need to go through from getting an idea to growing your business.
eCommerce subscriptions: benefits and best products to sell
The subscription-based business model becomes more and more popular in eCommerce. While it has many benefits, it might not suit any product and (well, as any business) it requires a thorough approach to planning and executing.
Benefits of open source eCommerce platforms
When launching an online store, the first question that comes up is what shopping cart to use as there are plenty of options available. One of the major distinguishing parameters is whether the cart is open source or hosted. Both have their pros and cons, and the choice depends on the particular needs of your business.

How to make your eCommerce business benefit from modern chatbots
AI, natural language processing, and machine learning are being actively developed benefiting various industries. E-Commerce is no exception. Many online stores adopt chatbots to maximize their marketing and sales efforts.
Prices by region in nopCommerce
It might be quite frustrating for shoppers to browse through a catalog, get an idea of the prices, and then at the checkout discover a significant price increase. This may stop many people from completing their orders. If in your store prices differentiate by region, a good idea might be to display correct prices already in the catalog. A plugin can helpful for this. See below our experience of developing such a plugin.
