This is particularly true for younger generations who are more tech-savvy and comfortable with online transactions. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of eCommerce as more people are opting to shop online to avoid physical contact.
Trends in the market: The eCommerce Software market in Central America is dominated by international players such as Shopify and WooCommerce. However, there is a growing trend towards the development of local eCommerce platforms that cater to the unique needs and preferences of Central American customers. These platforms offer features such as local payment options and language support, which are essential in a region with diverse cultures and languages.
Local special circumstances: One of the main challenges facing the eCommerce Software market in Central America is the lack of infrastructure and logistics support.

Additionally, there is a lack of trust in online transactions among some segments of the population, which can hinder the growth of eCommerce.
