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

  • This web builder does nearly everything we want. It's extremely easy to use and we have been using Wix for nearly 5 years. You can choose from a huge amount of designs and then customize the site to fit your business. I was a IT program manager for about 7 years and have designed web sites for customers over the past 8 to 10 years using Wix and had great success.
  • It looks nice, but I did not use it once I discovered that I had to pay for access to upload to my domain.
  • Thought it would be something very difficult to create my website since I didn't know coding, but Wix to the rescue helped me customise my own website.
  • The e-mail campaign template is also appropriate, and I am using it while being satisfied in terms of customer management and connectivity with other apps.
  • - Easy to use and set up. - Pricing is lower than other competitors. - Provides a lot of features like e-commerce, appointment booking, forum, etc. - Drag and drop as well as no coding knowledge required.

Cons

  • Some of the web designs didn't quite fit into the theme we sought, however we were able to make the site work.
  • I cannot run an independent app on my Mac to drive Wix. The collapse of the company will leave me without recovery of anything - instantly
  • Nothing as still exploring it, but the integrations are not much as other famous websites so I think they still need so more setups so that users like us would find it very useful.
  • The probability of interworking with search engines may be lower than that of other platforms.
  • - Limited technical and code customization: You can use FTP or custom SSL and no changes can be made to the source code of the website but you can add header, verification, and other tags.
