What are the barriers and challenges in e-commerce environment?
There are three main types of e-commerce barriers: (i) economic barriers, such as unreliable and expensive power, lack of ICT infrastructure and use, limited use of credit cards, low purchasing power, and weak financial systems; (ii) socio-political barriers, such as weak legal and regulatory frameworks, cultural preferences for face-to-face interaction, and a society's reliance on cash; (iii) cognitive barriers, which stem from a lack of ICT literacy, awareness, and e-commerce-related knowledge among both consumers and businesses.
