There are plenty of keyword research tools you can choose for ecommerce website-
1. Google keyword planner- This is probably the most important and popular keyword research tool out there. All by itself, Keyword Planner allows you to make informative decisions when it comes to choosing the right keywords for your SEO strategy.

2. Google trends- A great tool that allows you to see how the search volume for keywords is developing over time.

3.Google webmaster tools- One of the easiest ways to quickly rank in the first page of Google is to find out what your current rank is and give it a little boost. You can very easily do this in GWT.

4.Site search-One of the best ways to discover new ideas for keywords is to find out which words visitors are using on your website when searching for products to buy.

E-Commerce websites generally contain insufficient content. They have their products id, name, and some description. Such websites' titles and descriptions of their products are fetched by search engines. E-commerce site have some useful content on each page rather than a gallery of products' images. Each webpage should not have same little and description.

For Ecommerce site products or category name plays a huge part in setting up the page's meta tags. Appropriate setting of dynamic pages can give your site a good reach. Just focus on products or category names & select your keywords either from google adwords OR any other relevant tool. Select the keywords with minimum competition & see the results.

To begin, you'll need to brainstorm an initial list of search terms you believe your customers would search for to find your shop and the products you sell. Just grab a pen and paper and begin making a list of search terms you would use. At a minimum your brainstormed list of each keyword should be two words but you'll want to think of longtail keywords as well, up to four to five words or even more.

Ecommerce-focused search marketing is all about intent.
You can bring a stream if interested customers to your ecommerce site by targeting the right keywords - right being the operative word here meaning; the right person, at the right time, in right stage in the buying cycle.
And if you're specifically leveraging SEO, it gets even better - these  new visitors are free and if targeted correctly - there are the most qualified.
