Ecwid is the most flexible pick for a merchant who already has a website. Instead of replacing it, you can add an Ecwid store to a site built on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or another platform, and run the same catalog on several sites from one account. If you have no site, the Instant Site builder offers 70+ templates and a free company.site domain. Starter costs $5 a month for up to 10 products with email support, which makes it the cheapest paid plan on this list for testing a small catalog. Venture, at $35 a month or $29 billed annually, raises the limit to 100 products and adds Instagram and Facebook selling, automated tax, discount coupons, a custom checkout and live chat support. Ecwid lists no transaction fees on any plan. The low tiers are tight: abandoned cart recovery, subscriptions, marketplaces and phone support start on the $65 Business plan, so price that tier if you expect to grow.
