METHODOLOGY

he Best American Online Shops were identified after passing a number of tests based on 51 objective and subjective criteria. A list of more than 9,500 online shops in the United States was compiled using Statista and online databases, online directories and price comparison websites to identify the most, ), subscription-based shops, C2C marketplaces (e.g. ), B2B online shops, showcase websites and online shops that do not display their site in English were excluded. The online shops were then organized according to their main product offering into 39 categories. Those that passed the initial screening were then tested one by one in 41 objective criteria. Alongside these tests, an online survey of a panel of more than 8,000 American online shoppers assessed the appearance of the online shops on 10 subjective criteria (e.g. “The homepage is very clear and well structured”). A sub-score for each dimension was calculated. Based on these results, a score out of 10 was determined for each online shop. The top 1,000 online shops with the highest scores were then awarded “Best Online Shops 2021” and listed on the website.
