E-Commerce Platforms
Ecwid
Add a storefront to a site you already have.
Ecwid drops a storefront into an existing website, a social profile or a standalone page, so a business does not have to rebuild around a new platform. It stays lighter than a full commerce suite: content-led merchandising and complex catalogues are not what it is built for.
Pricing: Free tier with a product limit; paid plans scale with the size of the catalogue
