Online shopping has grown steadily over the past few years. One study found that “online sales grew by 15.1 percent in 2019 and accounted for 51.1 percent of all retail growth last year.” This year, more consumers than ever have shifted to online shopping as part of their regular routine. According to a recent report, “42 percent of consumers are using digital channels to engage in activities more often than they did before.” The U.S. Census Bureau also reported first quarter eCommerce sales to be up 2.4 percent ($160.3 billion) from the fourth quarter of 2019.
