The commercial said it's easy to set up a shop and it's free.
Anyone have any insight on it?
Ecwid vs Shopify Plus?
WooCommerce vs ECWID: Best Platform for a Small, Fast, and Modern Store?
Anyone tried Ecwid? I just saw a commercial for it on Instagram and I'm curious about other's experiences, if any.
Ecwid ?
Honestly hate to be Brutual but you asked for it. All these people talking about setting up an online store in 30 mins or overnight is complete and utter rubbish. A website made with love and confidence will take you easily hours, nights and months of work. Even if you are to use elementor a drag and drop website builder powered on woocommerce.
You need to design professional banners, you need to take professional and persuading photography shots, you have to write up all the text that will go on the website.
You can’t throw a quick and dirty site together and expect it to bring in sales, it will just turn people off and think it is a scam.
My e-commerce store took me about 7 8 months to develop thats with the help of me and 2 coders. It also costed me thousands upfront that was well worth the investment.
In your situation I would rather go with a platform like Etsy, Amazon, eBay etc.
A website needs work and a lot of maintenance.
As for Ecwid I have never used myself but have looked into it it is very similar to woocommerce. I would choose woocommerce as it has a much higher community and is a lot more reliable.

Hi. I know how much people rely on and love Shopify (and especially Plus) for all the different ways it can be used and customized. But I’ve got a vendor pitching me about their middleware and saying their e-commerce platform is based upon Ecwid. I’ve been in ecomm since 2009 and I’d never heard of Ecwid. BuT!… I’m no closed minded; I’ll play along. WTH is Ecwid and is it even comparable to Shopify plus at all? Is it trustworthy? Is it supported/maintained? Any data/privacy issues? Is it fast & reliable?
I’m looking for any blind spots I might be missing so I can ask clarifying questions, but I’m also wondering if I should just walk away, vs be open minded to trying something that’s not something I’ve already heard of, like Shopify or big commerce, woocommerce or magento, or… any of the other ecomm solutions that have been around and made a name for themselves.
Anyone have any thoughts on Ecwid?
Hi everyone,
I’m a new entrepreneur looking to set up an online store. I’m trying to decide between WooCommerce and ECWID, and I’d love some advice.
Here’s what I’m looking for: • A fast, modern-looking website. • Less than 10 products (they won’t change • Easy-to-manage setup with minimal maintenance.
With WooCommerce, I understand I’ll likely need plugins for things like: Abandoned cart recovery, Social media integration, Discount codes, LiveChat, SEO optimization.
I’m worried about hidden costs with WooCommerce, especially since plugins can add up. I also know some developers on Fiverr or Upwork offer cheap setups, but they might use nulled plugins, which seems risky in the long run.
On the other hand, ECWID’s Venture plan includes many of these features, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the monthly cost compared to WooCommerce.
Considering I have a small, fixed product range and want a fast, clean store, which platform do you think is better?
Is WooCommerce worth the extra setup and potential plugin costs?
Or is ECWID a more straightforward, low-maintenance option for a small business like mine?
I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially about real-world costs and must-have plugins!
Thanks! 😊
