Summary/Abstract: In today’s competitive and dynamic business environment, companies need to transform their business in order to survive. There has been a steady trend for companies to engage in e-commerce and business based on online technologies, since it has become clear that unless they do so, they will drop out of the market. Although their presence on the internet offers new channels for the distribution of goods and services, it also poses a number of risks which companies need to be aware of so that they could analyse and adequately manage them. The aim of this study is to present the opportunities provided by different technological solutions for developing e-commerce applications. Those solutions, like any new technology, are viewed from different standpoints and provoke different reactions and assessments. It is therefore necessary to present their specific characteristics, as well as the impact of their implementation. The main thesis of the research is that business transformation requires the development of e-commerce apps with maximum efficiency according to the resources, which companies have at their disposal. The findings of the study indicate that teams engaged in the digitalisation of a business must be aware of current trends in developing e-commerce apps and the ability of a company to adjust to them. Hence, there are two major issues to be resolved in terms of digital transformation: first, designing and running the right online store (e-commerce website) and second, choosing the best approaches to accomplish that.
