Add an online store to any website, from $5 per month
Updated
Ecwid by Lightspeed is an ecommerce platform for small businesses that add an online store to an existing website, social media profile or marketplace rather than building a new site. Plans are sold by product count, with no setup fees and no transaction fees charged by Ecwid. Prices exclude taxes.
Merchants build a catalog in Ecwid, embed the store on their site or connect it to social and marketplace channels, and manage orders from one dashboard. Plans differ mainly by product count, staff accounts, promotions and support level.
Small merchants with an existing website who want to start selling quickly use Ecwid. Eligible nonprofits can request 6 months of Venture free.
Starter is $5 per month for up to 10 products. Venture is $35 monthly or $29 billed yearly for up to 100 products. Business is $65 monthly or $49 yearly for up to 2,500 products, and Unlimited is $149 monthly or $119 yearly. There is no free plan listed, no setup fee and no transaction fee, and plans are month-to-month.
The vendor's pricing page lists marketplace selling and POS integration by plan but does not name specific partners.
Shopify is a full hosted store builder with a large app ecosystem. BigCommerce is a hosted platform with strong built-in B2B features. WooCommerce is an open source WordPress plugin, and Salesforce Commerce Cloud is an enterprise commerce suite.
