The rise of smartphones has transformed the retail landscape, leading


to a surge in m-commerce. Mobile apps and optimized websites
provide seamless shopping experiences, allowing consumers to

mobile-friendly platforms and leverage technologies like mobile
wallets and QR code payments to capitalize on this trend.

and return products seamlessly, irrespective of the channel they
choose.
