This app is designed to give a platform for MSMEs to market and sell their products, boosting the country's economic growth.

High environmental and social standards will improve the countries' environmental and social norms, which will affect the viability of the e-commerce business in these countries.

In the e-commerce business, many local and worldwide firms have expanded, resulting in fierce competition. Some of the key players are Amazon.com Inc., Alibaba Group Holding Limited, Walmart Inc., and Costco Wholesale Corporation. Product launches, high expenses on R&D, acquisitions, and partnerships, etc., are the growth strategies adopted by such companies to sustain the intense competition.
In June 2022, the introduction of Etsy Purchase Protection was announced by Etsy. In the unlikely event that an item did not match the item description, did not come, or did not arrive at all, consumers were to obtain a full refund through this for transactions made on Etsy's website.

Cainiao, Alibaba's logistics company, is new to Belgium. Alibaba's marketplace, AliExpress, is currently present in the European market. However, cross-border sales from China are AliExpress's most profitable source of revenue. Lazada instead focuses on local European sellers.
