With the situation of the global pandemic of coronavirus COVID-19, consumption patterns changed overnight. Thus, some businesses had to close the doors of their physical store and today they are looking to create an online store to continue operating.

And how big will the impact be in Latin America? Emarketer estimates that 10.8 million users in the region will make their first online purchase in 2020, which will bring the total share of digital sales to 38.4% of the Latin American population over 14 years of age. Without a doubt, a field of opportunity for digital entrepreneurs.

Amazon

American is a company with a direct presence in countries such as China, Spain, Japan, and the United Kingdom and millions of items for sale. However, the marketplace by Amazon for Latin American users is only available in Mexico.

Online classifieds

They are usually free, although some also offer premium accounts. Some popular platforms are Segundamano (Mexico, Argentina), Olx (Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, and Central America), and Latinodeal (15 countries in Asia, Europe, and South America).

Digi Dokaan

Great app UI/UX to make it easiest to use as possible. You can make your online store with Digi Dokaan in 30 seconds. With DigiDokaan, you can make a beautiful and professional-looking product catalog on your phone and can share it easily with your customers.

Several Social Network

By having a significant mass of captive users - which some platforms count in billions of people - it was logical that social networks would enter the game of online sales platforms. Thus, one of the most recognized - and easy to use, since it is available to users in all countries - is Facebook Marketplace.
