## Reviews

### "Simple shopping cart solution for website." — 4.0/5

> **Cynthia** | *September 9, 2024* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ability to easily integrate a small product inventory into our own website.
> 
> **Cons**: Incorporating shipping options/costs was a bit confusing.
> 
> Overall experience has been very good.  The Ecwid shopping cart works nicely with our website.

### "Fantastic E-Commerce Software, Especially for Beginners" — 5.0/5

> **Kayla** | *August 13, 2018* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was incredibly easy to use\! I was surprised. The interface made everything transparent and accessible, and I never once questioned the validity of the product. It was easy to implement on my website, was secure, and provided an easy and pleasant transaction for both the customer and my side. I never received any complaints from consumers, and I never had any issues behind the scenes. If there was anything I needed to view, or take care of, it was all right in front of me.
> 
> **Cons**: I honestly can't say I disliked anything, as I never ran into any problems. Maybe down the line, after a lot more use, I will find something that doesn't work for me.
> 
> 10/10 recommend for anyone who hasn't had any experience with e-commerce before. It was easy to set up, without feeling like information was going into an insecure place. It was easy to use, and nothing was ever hidden from me.

### "Easy and seamless but for a price" — 5.0/5

> **Vincenzo Bernardino** | *June 3, 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the of set up and management on wordpress website, making it super easy to start an ecommerce
> 
> **Cons**: Price bumps without logic from 5 to up to 100 products, not taking in consideration small business with stores that usually range 30-50 products
> 
> I used it many years ago when I got my first clients for website/ecommerce development and me as a non-dev person (marketing) didn't have a stable partnership with a web developer so I was looking for solutions to set up ecommerce fast. Back then the starting plan was free.

-----

### "Would recommend, just not for beginners" — 4.0/5

> **Amber** | *July 24, 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The website is fully customizable and the limited free version is still very useful for small businesses.
> 
> **Cons**: It isn't beginner friendly, there's a lot of trial and error involved to figure things out. I don't work from a desktop and Ecwid is mostly usable on mobile devices, but not very well.
> 
> I needed a low cost or free website for my small business that I could set up using my android. I found Ecwid and spent months setting up my website, I was a complete beginner and had to learn everything as I went. I was pleased with the search ranking my website had, which indicates that Ecwid provides good SEO results. I ended up switching to a more user friendly platform, but overall I would recommend their services.

-----

### "Not free like it says" — 1.0/5

> **Kaiden** | *May 9, 2025* | Fishery | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It seems like a very good website for small businesses.
> 
> **Cons**: It claims it is 100% free but that is not true, you have to pay no matter what. It is in no way free like it says.
> 
> I wasn't pleased with you having to pay just for the minimum.
