“With the unique environment driving consumers to shop online more than ever before, merchants can’t expect to see the growth in e-commerce sales levels or adoption they saw early in the pandemic,” Keyes said.
“But merchants can still grow today by creating a seamless online shopping experience that is easy to use and tailored to consumer preferences. Ensuring that digital platforms are integrated with the in-store shopping experience can help engage in-store shoppers to develop digital relationships , and potentially boost e-commerce sales in the process.”
