Acheampong, et al (2017) explain that three decades ago it was a dream to conceive that at a point in time all of the world’s knowledge could be put on a single world wide web and browsed by people from different parts of the world for free. These are the realities of the contemporary business place which Casey & Wilson-Evered (2012) explained has been facilitated by the advances in technology and globalization. According to Zaremohzzabieh, et al (2014), e-commerce platform appeared along with the development of internet and the necessities of ventures has given a web-based exchanging spot to customers and suppliers. It is a virtual system for purchasers and merchants, utilizing computer programming technology to coordinate assets on the web and accomplish the objective of community program (Ruzzier, AntonciC, Hisrich, & Konecnik, 2007). E-commerce platform gives all members equivalent and public information location of many services.
