Here are some of the top e-commerce platforms in the USA (both marketplaces and store builders), along with key features and market share. If you want, I can also list ones that are strong in niches or growing fast.

Marketplaces (Retail Sites)
These are platforms where many different brands/sellers list and sell products.
Platform What makes it strong / Unique
Amazon Largest in the US; huge traffic, very mature fulfillment system (e.g. Prime, FBA), huge variety.
Walmart.com Combination of online + strong physical retail network; omnichannel pickup, etc.
eBay Auctions + “Buy It Now”, deals in used, rare, niche goods.
Etsy Specialty in handmade, craft, vintage goods; big for independent makers.
Temu Relatively new, growing fast especially in budget cross-border goods.

Store-Builder / Platform Software
These are tools you use to build your own online store (as opposed to listing in a marketplace).
Platform Market Share / Key Strengths
Shopify Very popular; in the USA ~28-29% market share among e-commerce store builders. Easy to use, lots of integrations, good for both small & scaling businesses.
Wix Stores Strong in ease of use, design; quite large share.
Squarespace (Commerce / “Add to Cart”) Often chosen for design-centric stores (portfolios, creative businesses).
WooCommerce Plugin-based, works with WordPress; very flexible and widely used.
Ecwid Simpler add-ons / integrations for smaller sellers; less market share than the big ones but useful.
