you forget mentioning about seo things like which snippet shows in google search etc.

For ecommerce, the snippet is usually the least of their seo worries. More like duplicate and thin content issues and canonicalization. How they handle faceted navigation is a big issue - and many sites get it wrong. Sorts, filters, categories and subcategories - what to canonicalize and how can get really messy.
If you're designing an ecomm site, start with your basic architecture, decide where a subcategory or a filter is more appropriate, which data views should be indexed and which should not, make sure you handle things like query parameters and paging (and if applicable, internationalization) properly.
