Storefront Social vs Ecwid Comparison

Reliability of storefront.

Easier way to customize storefront layout other than CSS and HTML Code.

Easy to use, very simple and quick interface with iPad app, can post a new item / listing within a minute or two. Integrates flawlessly with PayPal

Honestly nothing I can say negative. It works well and is an easy way to set up a Storefront site online

Ready-to-go online storefront, product categories, targeted marketing, item import tools, Square synchronization

Limitations with the free software but more than enough to get started.

Ability to track sales.

Nothing.

SOOO easy to use! The options are easy to use! In about a day I was about to set up the entire storefront. This included linking our shipping accounts, our payment options, adding some products with all of our options. The best part is, I was able to show my boss how he could manage the storefront himself! This ecosystem is very well done!

None that I can think of! We are a print shop with some very complicated product offerings and this store is able to handle those for us with no problems!

Very easy to load new products to store.

The search options need to be more broad - not a specific match. Lack of live customer service in the past.

I like the functionality, seemingly transparent to my customers and the customer support follow up.

Limited control on social media channels when comes to marketing and advertising ads format.

As an author, I don't need a full-fledged storefront. Selling autographed copies of books doesn't need a ton of features or monthly cost that I couldn't recoup. Ecwid was easy to set up and install on Weebly. The platform works great, and does exactly what I need it to. I'm looking forward to customizing it further as I go, but for right now, it suits my needs perfectly.

There isn't a lot of customization available out of the box, unless you want to code things yourself. I'd like a few different templates and things to make a storefront unique. I also noticed that it doesn't seem to combine shipping properly. It may be how I've set it up, but that's something to mention, at any rate.

I admire Ecwid for allowing a free storefront which is customizable but limits the products being sold. It is a start and will actually make a difference to many. I like the design, UI, and customization according to my preferences being easily available. I like the fact that there are plugins for the usage of other sales platforms like Facebook to be integrated with Ecwid.

I honestly have no problem with Ecwid, I have never experienced any problems on this website front. There are so many versatile features sometimes it becomes too much for one person to focus on, therefore it must be used strategically to gain optimum results.

Apps, customizing the store details, support, the ability to customize even the smallest details like how prices appear.

Inability to change social icons. Site preview on devices shows the original starter cart with the surfer dude.

Ecwid offers the best social commerce for Instagram, Facebook, and Google shopping. With its in-built integration, you can in no time showcase your products on your social network platforms. Ecwid offers a lot of channels but the social ones are a stand-out for me.

Ecwid's SEO is not as robust as its competitors like Shopify. For your site to be discovered on Google search with just its SEO won't cut it. You will need to push more SEO towards your connected blog, and perhaps other third parties services you have connected to your store.

You will really like the cart because you will get extensive cart features, deals and discounts as they are partnered heavily and integrated multiple shopping payment options.

I think if they extend to integrate with google payments, samsung payments, social streams it would attract more visibility.

Easy to use. Great on social media and e-Marketplace.

Design options.

Easy setup Simple integrations to websites and social media Step by step video guides

The chat is only available for premium plans, but you have access to tutorials and knowledge

The pull down menus to set an orders status is super helpful and I love that customers get the updates into their inboxes to know I'm working on their stuff! The storefront was easy to integrate onto my website and is clean cut and easy to browse. The image loading process is painless as well and I like the ability to create an album of images, as well as for massive, multiple loads of merch, you can directly copy one listing and alter it slightly- SO HELPFUL and saves me so much time!

The international shipping, while abundantly bursting with options- can almost be too overwhelming at times.

That is working on all platforms and you can have an overview from my a phone and looks like it can integrate with social media.

Not enough support for Scandinavian market and laws with tax and address labels for orders direct to stickers. Like to brother sticker printer

Setting up the shop is easy, you don't need to be an IT expert. Categories are already set, you pick and choose. Easy to import and export your products. Free customized website, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and mobile set up. Your dashboard will have daily statistics. Follows up on abandoned carts from customers.

Add more products on the search button.

What I liked most about this software is that it’s perfect for those wanting to setup an online shop but are limited with their budget or currently don’t have the necessary funds to support a month to month plan offered by many other e-commerce solutions.

What I liked least about this software is the lack of video tutorials and training available to consumers as compared to other major e-commerce platforms.

I love how easy and intuitive Ecwid is. It offers many great features and yet the learning curve is minimal. Ecwid helped us offer our services on many social platforms, which we previously hadn't been able to do.

So far, I can honestly say that I haven't encountered any negative aspects regarding Ecwid. Some of the templates aren't my thing but that's only my personal opinion.

Integration with social media platforms, can set up a basic store within minutes, but need to invest more time to make it look more sophisticated. They have a free plan that might be enough for most people who are just starting.

Sometimes feels a bit limited in terms of customisation options, but it's not a huge problem.

For the price I can't complain about anything that Ecwid offers. This software was so easy to get my ecommerce shop up and running. Very easy to set up product listings and it has many integrations available for social media selling.

There isn't anything that I don't like about this software.

Ecwid is a powerful tool for who wants selling his/her products. You can integrate it on your personal website, social pages, and other marketplaces. It's easy to use, and it makes grow your presence online quickly. It suites for small business.

The free version has few features, and it allows you to sell 10 items only.

Ecwid was recommended to me by a friend and it was the best decision I ever made in terms of an eCommerce solution. As an artist and designer who wanted to have a versatile and customizable store front on my websites, Ecwid fulfilled all my needs. Beyond this tho, Ecwid allowed me to connect my Square readers payments seamlessly, and I have to say that their customer service is very good. It should...

The only negative I might say about Ecwid is that there can be some restrictions when trying to integrate your sales channels into Facebook and Instagram. Additionally, sometimes the CSR you get via online chat (which IS convenient, I must say) doesn't have a legitimate knowledge of all aspects of Ecwid, so it's a bit hit and miss in that sense.
