Their customer service is great as they resolve any confusions quickly.
The services are sometimes difficult integrating with some websites.
there is a steep learning curve, but then I may be slow.

Ecwid is probably the big name when it comes to selling your goods online. More than just a platform, it is a very scalable solution that can help you out with setting your own shop with, let’s say, two or three items, and then easily move to 10-15 or even 1000. Free version provides 10 items in total (BigCartel just 6!) and customizable infinite options that makes them really stand out of the competence.
What is more, Ecwid can be easily integrated in your HTML5, WordPress, Joomla, put-the-name-you-want website and it automatically inherits its appearance, look and does not push your customers away. A totally must have when setting your own shop online.
Probably the worst thing about Ecwid is not having a big name like BigCartel. I used to say it is online shops’ best kept secret and I would consider changing the name in the near future to something like “BigShop” or something like that.
Actually, a step-by-step guide would help to attract customers. Ecwid is a huge platform, with lots of options and probably an assistant, guiding you through the options, would be much appreciated on day one.

There are 3 reasons why our company loves Ecwid:
1. Ease of integration into online site. We are able to quickly add new items to our store, issue coupons and customize for addons when necessary.
2. Reports – excellent reports of who and what has been purchased.
3. Quick pay – we normally get funds by next business day.
1. Being a growing business I wish that the fee was lower but on average 3% fees is industry norm.
2. Updating payment – I have updated payment (credit card for monthly fees) and it has not updated. There is no button to say update once new payment has been entered and it has caused the site not to be able to process.
They width and depth of services – I had to investigate to find out about coupons. You have so many awesome services and this needs to be made known.

Ecwid gives us an option to build a quick and easy e-commerce website. This is integral to a small business selling our own goods. In our company, we needed to move fast to ship out products quickly to our customers; Ecwid gave us a platform to do so. As the one who creates and manages the different online stores, Ecwid also made it easier for us to customize and integrate things to our existing websites.
I think one thing to improve on is the roll-out of the different features to the users. I created two separate stores and at the time they had to different interfaces. It made it confusing but, everything worked out fine after the transition to the newer user interface.
I wish we know about the downgrade plan and how we don’t get a pro-rated refund if ever we downgraded a plan to a lower tier.
