- To create their current and future omnichannel operations, e-commerce businesses have realized the value and necessity of mobile commerce (m-commerce) with efficient, user-friendly apps. For instance, a partnership between Carrefour and Google Assistant has been established to allow customers to do their online click-and-collect grocery shopping in-app using voice recognition. Simple Maps, an interactive map showing users the top storied locations, including those that sell local and sustainable items within a certain radius, was another valuable innovation.

H&M, Carrefour, and Ikea are great platforms for well-known retailers in multiple countries across Europe and beyond. Furthermore, the United Kingdom has the second-largest share, accounting for 3.9 %, with nearly 59,000 Shopify e-commerce websites. Germany rounds out the top five with over 23,000 Shopify-built e-commerce websites, while France (about 19,000) and the Netherlands also have many Shopify-built websites (over 12,000).
