The Rise of Online Shopping
Online shopping has
revolutionized the way people purchase goods.
Instead of
visiting physical
stores,
consumers can now buy products from the comfort
of their
homes.
E-commerce websites
offer
a wide variety of
items,
from clothing and
electronics to groceries and furniture.
Many people prefer online shopping because

offers.
Many websites provide exclusive deals that
are not
available in traditional
stores.

customers can read product
reviews before making a purchase,
helping them make better decisions.

to steal
personal
information and payment
details.
These risks make some people
hesitant to shop online.
Despite these disadvantages,
