When you’re thinking about selling online, one of the first concerns is often cost. Do you need a big budget to get started? Will setting up an online store be complicated and time-consuming?
In this blog, we’re going to introduce Ecwid, a flexible cloud-commerce platform that’s especially friendly for new and growing businesses. We’ll explain what Ecwid is, why many sellers choose it, and how it makes launching an online store simple and accessible.
As a shipping platform that supports small businesses at every stage, we’re also excited to share this update: ShipSaving is now integrated with Ecwid! If you sell on Ecwid, you can automatically import your orders into ShipSaving and start shipping faster — without extra manual work.
Ecwid is an e-commerce platform that allows you to create an online store and start selling products quickly, without needing advanced technical skills or a large upfront investment.
One of Ecwid’s biggest advantages is its flexibility. Unlike traditional e-commerce platforms that take a lot of time and effort to build, Ecwid can be added directly to your existing website, or social media page. With just a few steps, your site can turn into a fully functional online store.
This makes Ecwid a great option for small to medium-sized businesses, especially if:
With Ecwid, you can focus more on selling and less on technical setup.
Selling on Ecwid gives you access to powerful e-commerce tools without adding unnecessary complexity. Below are some of the key benefits that make Ecwid a popular choice for new and growing sellers.
One of the biggest advantages of Ecwid is how fast and simple it is to get started. Whether you’re tech-savvy or completely new to e-commerce, you can launch your online store with minimal effort.
The setup process is straightforward, allowing most sellers to get their stores live in a short time. This makes Ecwid a great choice for business owners who want to test new ideas, don’t have coding experience, need to launch quickly, or avoid long development timelines.
Ecwid is designed to help you sell wherever your customers are. Instead of managing separate stores on different platforms, you can control everything from one dashboard.
Ecwid supports selling across multiple channels, including:
Selling across multiple channels helps you reach different types of customers. Some may discover products on TikTok, while others prefer Instagram or Google search. With Ecwid, you can sell on all the channels you want and test.
Compared to many e-commerce platforms, Ecwid offers very affordable pricing. Its Starter Plan is budget-friendly, making it easier for small businesses and personal sellers to start selling online without high monthly costs.
Ecwid supports major payment providers like PayPal and Square. These options give sellers more flexibility while offering customers secure and familiar ways to pay.
For personal sellers and small businesses, this reduces friction at checkout and creates a smoother, more reliable buying experience for customers, which can lead to higher conversion rates and fewer abandoned carts.
Selling is only half the journey. Efficient shipping and fulfillment are just as important. With ShipSaving’s direct integration, managing your Ecwid orders becomes much easier.
With ShipSaving, you don’t need to switch between multiple platforms to manage fulfillment. Your Ecwid orders are automatically synced into ShipSaving, giving you a single dashboard to handle orders more efficiently.
For small and medium-sized businesses, shipping costs can quickly add up. Choosing the right shipping platform makes a big difference.
With ShipSaving, you can access:
With this wide carrier coverage, you have the flexibility to choose the carrier and service level that best fits your products and delivery needs, without being locked into a single carrier or shipping schedule.
As your order volume grows, manually selecting shipping methods and updating tracking information can become time-consuming and error-prone.
ShipSaving’s Shipping Rule allows you to automate fulfillment by applying actions based on order conditions. Automated tracking emails also help keep customers informed, improving their overall experience.
Starting a business often comes with shipping questions and unexpected challenges. That’s why ShipSaving offers 24/7 real human customer support in both English and Chinese.
You can reach the team anytime through live chat and get help with shipping issues, setup questions, or fulfillment optimization — whenever you need it.
