Ecwid is a hosted ecommerce platform for omnichannel selling, available on the web, iOS, and Android. It supports digital products, abandoned-cart recovery, and an app marketplace, with no transaction fee listed. Ecwid was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, United States. Four named plans define different product and staff capacities. Starter supports 10 products, with no price listed. Venture supports 100 products and costs $35 a month, billed monthly. Business supports 2,500 products and two staff accounts for $65 a month, billed monthly. Ecwid has no free plan, so the listed choices are paid plans. The hosted model keeps storefront operation online, while omnichannel sales support addresses businesses selling through multiple channels. Mobile platform listings extend access beyond a browser.
