"E commerce Solution Make Easy"
What do you like best about Ecwid?

I like using ecwid as my online business solution because it gives me access to use the ecwid software without taking the risk to own and maintain it. By this way, I have enough time to focus on building my online store and generating lead for i. In addition, ecwid is a self set up platform which not require an expert assistant do start it. That means persons without software or web browser management experience can get their store online by themselves without difficulties. All you need is basic internet user knowledge. The most appealing part is that, ecwid allows me a free space online for me to setup catalogue of products where I can add pictures of high resolutions, with prices, weights, and more features of e-commerce platform you can imagine.

What do you dislike about Ecwid?

The noticeable features that needs improvement about Ecwid is that, ecwid does not allow me to have a standalone eccormerce site but allows me to have my online store to be added to existing website. Although recent features added allows one to create one static standalone page for the free version, Another challenge is, the free version of ecwid allows me to add only 10 products to my catalogue, which I feel needs to be increased with time

What problems is Ecwid solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ecwid is helping entrepreneurs who will like to put their business online but do not have the means to buy online store space or softwares Ecwid give them the opportunity to have a free version to run their online stores By so doing yound and talented business entrepreneurs can start their business, get money and then invest to expand their store space I call this solution, online store business inclusive of the neglect

"ECWID has made our lives so much easier"
What do you like best about Ecwid?

We love that it was a quick and easy process to migrate our items into ECWID. It took less than a half hour to have the bulk of our items in with current pricing. The iOS app is a joy to work with and so full featured.

What do you dislike about Ecwid?

I wish international shipping was more accurate for flat items. It was quoting customers $60 from the USA to Germany when the true usps rate was $11.69.

What problems is Ecwid solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have migrated our website off Etsy so for direct sales and traffic we are no longer paying the high Etsy commissions for traffic we are bringing. It's the best of both worlds. We use Etsy for its huge audience and ECWID for our own generated traffic.

"Ecwid is easy to use and perfect for a small online business!"
What do you like best about Ecwid?

Ecwid is easy to incorporate into a website. It's easy to add products, including pricing and images.

What do you dislike about Ecwid?

Really there's nothing to dislike, as Ecwid has thought of everything. You can create multiple orders, add a SKU, import a product file, easily incorporate it into your website. It's perfect for a smaller website that offers a smaller product line.

What problems is Ecwid solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking for a free solution that would enable us to quickly and easily post products for sale on the Egg & More Store, and Ecwid was the perfect answer. We're a fan-based website and the products we sell help to fund the website, get-togethers, etc., so we don't make a lot of money. "Free, easy, and fast" were all important to us, and Ecwid provided those, with their software.

"My Review on Ecwid"
What do you like best about Ecwid?

The Ecwid ecommerce plugin shares many of the same characteristics as the BigCommerce plugin in that it won’t slow down your site. Ecwid is a fully hosted platform which means that they take care of the technical aspects of your online store so you don’t have to worry about site security, site uptime, etc. All of your products and transactions are served on Ecwid’s servers which is completely independent of your site. And similar to BigCommerce, you can run your site in a subfolder which is great for SEO. Ecwid’s only SEO drawback is that you can’t change your URL slug which is a nice to have feature but not a deal breaker. The best part about Ecwid is that it’s 100% free to use for up to 10 products on your site. However as your store grows, you will eventually have to sign up for a paid plan that starts at $15/month.

What do you dislike about Ecwid?

The main downside to using Ecwid is that it does not have good 3rd party software tool support. For example, integrating Ecwid with the leading email marketing platform Klaviyo requires you to use Zapier to glue the 2 tools together. The lack of 3rd party tool support can be a big problem if you want to run a fully featured online store.
