Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Ecwid is a versatile platform that made it easy to integrate our online stores into existing websites. I like its ease of use and the speed with which a store can be set up. In addition, the automatic product updates and real-time synchronization reduce the workload of the technical team, allowing them to focus on other critical areas of the business.
  • The simplicity of its interface facilitates the day-to-day management of products, orders and inventory, which is crucial to maintaining an efficient operation. The ability to integrate Ecwid with multiple sales platforms, such as social media and online marketplaces, significantly expands our reach without duplicating efforts. In addition, the variety of payment and shipping options it offers allows us to customize the customer experience to suit their needs.
  • With Ecwid I list my products in the virtual store, my customers easily check through and make purchases. Payment and delivery is very swift. Ecwid is easy to use and manoeuvre, does not require any high technical skill to get the store started. I only followed the simple instructions.
  • This application allows you to sell your products and get paid through your online store's website, through social networks such as Facebook and Instagram, and also from other large online commerce sites such as Amazon and Google Shopping. Unlike other e-commerce platforms Ecwid offers the great benefit of not charging commission for each sale, which is attractive for small merchants who want to progress and develop. Its API is highly intuitive and open source so it is customizable, this allows to improve the application by complementing it with other apps. Ecwid allows you to request and obtain a virtual point of sale for websites and social networks, with more than 50 payment gateways to offer all the tools for the favorable economic development of companies subscribed to its service.
  • Great storefront, really easy to install and get up and running. Lots of great features in the basic package. Very good customer feedback about the ease of use particularly with the older less tech-savvy customers.
  • Easy navigation. Great tips in emails how to improve business. Always adding new functions most recently ribbons which is great when adding new products.
  • It is easy to use and really gave us the all in one solution for going online. I had excellent experience with customer support. They provided me with custom codes that suited our vision better. Personally I really like the emails I am getting about theirs new blog posts where I find so many usefully info about marketing or specific details how to set up, that I haven't been aware of. Also the key factor for choosing this platform was that we began with free option where it didn't required entering card details, so we could easily explore if we really would need to upgrade. Eventually we upgraded our plan and never regret it.
  • I used Ecwid to set up my online store during lockdown. The process was very easy and the end results are stunning. I couldn't be happier. I would definitely recommend to anybody.
  • Ecwid web-platform perfect for small business and it is affordable and convenient. And also I like how it automatically charges location-based taxes.
  • Great communication! Great communication! Great communication! Great communication! Great communication!

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to get a website up and running with little coding knowledge. Price was good for what it offered.
  • It was really easy to design my website with this drag and drop software. I had struggled for a couple years with a competitor that promised more abilities, but unfortunately depended on a level of experience I didn't have and didn't have time to learn. With Weebly, there was no learning curve. I picked from their many design options, and started customizing from there. This website service has been able to adapt as my business has evolved, and as a sole proprietor I am able to manage the changes myself more quickly than I could likely explain to a web pro to create for me! A definite time saver for a small team.
  • Within Weebly it is possible to fully exploit the design quality of our website through didactic methods, and without the need to know much about web design, which has resulted in a great advantage when creating new pages on our website, because we have our own base to work on.
  • Weebly is easiest website builder i ever encountered. Any one can easily create website through Weebly with Drag and Drop interface. It has all basic website building elements. It has Responsive Template, Full page width editor.
  • Weebly is the best alternative to WordPress website builder. It comes with hundreds of templates and designs. Building a website is easy than WordPress. Html and JavaScript can also be customized. It supports full customization of fonts and background.

Cons

  • Terrible time getting tax removed (we're a non-profit) - took months to get it straightened out and then when the credit card changed it was an issue again.
  • I have not had any trouble, although when I first signed up, I signed up for an account with a lot of features that I didn't actually need; namely I signed up for the webshop, which worked fine and was able to customize and create products, but it didn't end up being a service my clients needed. I was able to downgrade a year later to a more straightforward plan that still suits my business needs.
  • If you need to create a highly complex web page Weebly may not meet your expectations as it is a service that works mostly based on simple templates. We have had problems adding JavaScript scripting to our web project, as Weebly does not correctly adapt some basic terms of this language.
  • Overall i am very much satisfied, but hope team Weebly will roll out more templates.
  • Weebly worked outstanding for me and also very easy to use.
