Will the future network platform completely replace the physical storefront?

The future network platform will not completely replace the physical storefront. The network platform can only be another way of product sales outside the physical store, and it is a supplementary form of physical store sales.

Compared with physical stores, the advantages and disadvantages of online platforms are obvious. The advantages of online platform include wide sales range, large number of onlookers and low cost, and it can be purchased and sold according to order sales. Disadvantages are that it is difficult for consumers to defend their rights, the products lack intuitive feelings, and the pictures on the Internet are far from the real thing. In particular, bulky goods and special goods are not suitable for online sales.

Because the difference between online platforms and physical stores is obvious, they can't replace each other and can only complement each other.
