Not long ago, opening an ecommerce site for SMEs in Lebanon was a big headache for business owners. The long arduous road towards selling online was a common problem for businesses looking to move their sales to the world wide web.
However, with the COVID-19 crisis, struggling businesses, especially the small ones which constitute 95% of companies in Lebanon according to UNDP, had to adapt and find a solution or close down. Hence, the demand for ecommerce solutions skyrocketed.
