In 2024, French e-commerce reached a record high with 2.6 billion transactions that’s nearly 80 orders every second. More than 41.6 million French consumers now shop online, and 88% of them believe this way of shopping makes their daily life easier.
Given such volume, ignoring the specific expectations of consumers is essentially setting yourself up for failure from the start. Today, the shopping experience goes far beyond the product itself: speed, flexibility, and delivery reliability have become crucial decision-making factors.
An e-commerce website that neglects this aspect risks facing:
· a high cart abandonment rate,
· a loss of competitiveness against more agile rivals,
· and difficulty building customer loyalty from the start.
