COVID-19 pandemic has engulfed the globe and plunged the entire economy into a slowdown. The virus started in China during December and has slowly spread to other parts of the world.
This pandemic also posed challenges for the e-commerce business as the government has directed only essential items to be sold through these platforms. It is estimated that India has lost $400 in sales and the total losses will be around $1 billion during the entire lockdown period. There has been a severe impact on digital payment during this COVID pandemic.
Online purchases aligned to selected offline stores have seen average growth according to this data. Revenue rose by 52 percent and conversion – 8.8 percent, relative to the same period a year earlier, between January 1 and February 29. It appears the only way for merchants to escape the coronavirus pandemic is through e-commerce platforms. Although not many people tend to visit brick and mortar stores (if they aren’t closed), it seems tempting to have ecommerce services.
Doing online business means selling goods to the buyer from the webstore and transaction means transfers. Due to the pandemic, the thought of building an online store poses some questions like ‘how’ and ‘who’ will create my ecommerce business? How will the support & maintenance will run? And many more hurdles that come along the line of deliveries and dedicated team support.
Technology partners play a vital role when it comes to running a frictionless ecommerce platform. Magento commerce platform not only helps connect vendors and buyers on mobile and online networks, but also enables efficient monitoring of consumer orders, delivery, refunds, and merchandise payments.
Magento Technology partners have provided excellent customer support for your website till now. But now it has been plagued by some crunching issues due to the outbreak of COVID. Let’s look at a few:
Lack of Emergency Support:
Right now, they are working with reduced staff as most offices are closed down due to pandemic. So, getting real-time help during this crisis is impossible. Your Magento Solution provider will not be able to provide help during an emergency situation like site breakdown due to traffic, payment failure, and slow turnaround.
Lack of Dedication:
It will be exceedingly difficult to find dedicated customer support or talk to a specialist. You might be facing some critical issues that need a technical resolution like a disabled product page that needs urgent attention. Unfortunately, during these cases, you will not find a specialist that would fix this issue.
Limited Support:
The overall infrastructure at your Magento solution provider will be extremely poor during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a significant reduction of staff strength and though many are contemplating work from home yet some immediate necessities might be delayed. Magento is a complicated solution and requires expert help to solve these issues and get your site working.

No Tracking System:
Although Magento supports an automated tracking system it requires some human intervention. Your provider might be plagued with financial incapability and a lack of resources to provide the best monitoring for your site. So, you would not get any real-time reports, and customers might be inconvenienced due to the absence of tracking methodologies.
No Central Exposure:
The virus pandemic has thrown every system haywire. Your provider is working with reduced staff and it has led to a lack of any central control on your site. An e-commerce Magento site requires constant monitoring to function properly. Unfortunately, during this critical time, the partner will be lacking in these monitoring facilities.
