• Selecting an e-commerce platform is a very crucial task when developing an online store. Diversity of technology stacks has led to dozens of e-commerce platforms with a variety of features. Previous studies have shown the rapid growth of the e-commerce applications development. However, the problems faced by e-commerce application developers have not been analyzed. In this study, we explore 19 e-commerce platforms to understand whether their features correlate with the experience of developers. By analyzing the questions that developers ask on a question-and-answer platform, Stack Overflow (SO), we find that developers discussed 17 e-commerce website development-related issues that can be grouped into 5 major themes (i.e., database management, payment options, sales features, website design features, and website errors). The results also indicate that the technology stack of e-commerce platforms correlates to the development and maintenance experience of an online store by developers.
