Conclusion
Ecwid can be easily integrated with your existing website, social media page, blog, online marketplace or mobile app.
If you don’t have too many items to sell, the free plan is a good way to try out using Ecwid. However, advanced SEO tools to help getting found online are not included in the free plan.
For merchants with an existing website, or who want to sell on social media or online marketplaces such as Amazon, Etsy or eBay it could also be an option worth considering.
