That's makes sense, it's only the update that's trying to modify the object. And if you don't know how to remove a property from an object, I'd suggest some research. — jonrsharpe

your req.body also contains _id which is immutable field of mongo. you need to remove it in your request body

delete req.body._id;
db.collection('Ecommerce')
    .updateOne(
        { _id:new ObjectId(req.params.id) },
        { $set: req.body }
    );

Jairo's answer is good but you might love to use .findByIdAndUpdate(req.params.id, req.body) instead of .updateOne({},{})
