Choose the right ecommerce platform to build and grow your online business.
Is Ecwid the ultimate e-commerce solution?
With Ecwid, you get more than just an ecommerce platform. You get a partner who’s invested in your success. Find out why Woo merchants choose Ecwid for building their online empire:
No coding skills required
Ecwid is available for both WordPress.org and WordPress.com, which means it integrates seamlessly into existing websites without any coding. If you want a no-hassle solution, Ecwid takes the gold.
No need for designers
Ecwid has over 70 free design themes optimized for a variety of industries, all ready-to-use with a single click. Meanwhile, WooCommerce offers only one free theme, and it often requires manual modifications from a designer.
Fastest set-up & ready to sell out-of-the-box
To start selling with Ecwid, all you need is a product, a hand, and 10 minutes to spare. But before you can sell with WooCommerce, you’ll need to go through the entire website building process before you can begin listing your first product. And even then, don’t expect anything as easy as Ecwid.
Ecwid is secure
WooCommerce stores aren’t secure by default—merchants will be reliant on their host and additional security features to secure their new stores. But Ecwid is a PCI DSS Level 1 Certified Service Provider, which means all your payment and transaction data is secure right out of the box.
Manage your store on mobile
The Ecwid app isn’t just the perfect tool to manage an existing store, it’s also the only tool that can create one. That’s right, Ecwid is the first mobile-only e-commerce solution. And it works for both Android and iOS. While WooCommerce offers a mobile app, you’ll need a desktop to adjust your design and layout.
No vendor lock
WooCommerce also requires additional 3rd party plugins for many of their features and sales channels. Ecwid has built-in capability to sell on social sites and marketplaces like Facebook, Instagram, and Amazon.
The quickest go live time
On Ecwid, it takes less than 30 minutes to launch your store — which is why Ecwid takes the lead for the quickest go-live time. Choose from pre-designed templates, add your products, shipping, and payment methods, and start selling! No time to waste — your ecommerce journey is just minutes away.
Faster Load Speed, More Completed Purchases
Ecwid Ecommerce loads in moments on your WordPress site. Great load speed helps you achieve great results:
- Get more organic traffic to your store: page speed is a confirmed ranking factor for Google’s search results.
- Improve the performance of your ads: better page speed will result in a better conversion rate.
- Reduce abandoned carts: your customers won’t get distracted while waiting for the page to load.
