Ecwid

Ecwid is an ecommerce platform that lets you add a full online store to almost any existing website — or run a standalone store — and sell across dozens of channels from one dashboard. Used by merchants in more than 175 countries, it's designed so entrepreneurs, creators and established retailers can start selling quickly without rebuilding their site or paying transaction fees on every sale.

What is Ecwid?

Ecwid's distinctive idea is that your store is a component you can drop into a site you already have — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, a plain HTML page — while managing products, inventory and orders from one central place. From that same dashboard you can also sell on social platforms, marketplaces and in person, so a single catalog powers every sales channel at once.

Who it's for

Ecwid fits entrepreneurs, small and medium businesses, creators, artists, photographers and designers, as well as established retailers who want to add online selling without migrating their whole website. Its free plan and no-transaction-fee model make it especially attractive to people just starting out or selling alongside an existing site.

Sell everywhere from one catalog

Ecwid's multi-channel selling is its biggest strength. Instead of maintaining separate listings for your website, social accounts and marketplaces, you manage one product catalog that syncs everywhere. When stock or prices change, they update across every channel at once, which removes a huge amount of manual upkeep as a business grows beyond a single storefront.

In-person and omnichannel

With the built-in point-of-sale system, the same Ecwid store that powers your website also handles sales at markets, pop-ups or a physical shop, keeping inventory and reporting unified across online and offline. For businesses that sell in more than one place, that single source of truth is a major convenience.

Integrations and pricing

Ecwid connects with PayPal, Square, Stripe, QuickBooks, ShipStation, Printful, Omnisend and more than 1,500 apps through its App Market. It offers a free plan to get started, with tiered paid plans that unlock more products and features — and notably charges no transaction fees of its own, so more of each sale stays with the merchant.

Marketing and getting found

Ecwid builds in the marketing tools a small store needs to grow rather than just exist. Automated email campaigns re-engage customers, discount and coupon tools drive promotions, and AI-powered ads help merchants reach new buyers on Google and social platforms without hiring an agency. AI-enhanced product photo editing helps even non-designers produce clean, professional-looking listings that convert better.

Support and reach

With merchants in more than 175 countries, Ecwid offers multilingual support and help through live chat, email and phone, alongside built-in reports and video tutorials for people learning as they go. That global, beginner-friendly footing is a big reason first-time sellers pick it and stay as they scale.

Why choose Ecwid

Ecwid is one of the easiest ways to start selling online without abandoning the website you already have. Its add-to-any-site flexibility, true multi-channel selling, built-in POS and no-transaction-fee pricing make it a practical, low-risk choice for creators and small businesses that want to reach buyers wherever they are.
