The pandemic has forever transformed the world of business. In 2020-21, the total revenue from eCommerce jumped to $26.7T, which resulted in a growth of almost 50% in eCommerce revenue share in countries like the United States of America and South Korea.

Adopting online eCommerce and retail for any business has become a necessity and no longer a choice. But shifting from a traditional brick-and-mortar retail store/chain to an online eCommerce business is tough. This is where eCommerce onboarding platforms/ website building software comes into play.

Magento is one such software that offers a wide variety of eCommerce solutions and is not only open source but also free. It has been used by the likes of giants like Nike and Samsung. Magento was recently named as one of the top 10 eCommerce building platforms of 2021. Here are the top eCommerce companies using Magento in the UK.
