Payvment, a leading social commerce platform on Facebook, has reached an agreement with us to transfer all of their 200,000 sellers to Ecwid. Greetings to all Payvment sellers on behalf of the Ecwid community – welcome aboard! We’re glad to have you join our family of over 250,000 sellers in 174 countries and are here to help you grow your business.


Recently we've released an Ecwid version that supports two more PayPal products: PayPal Payments Advanced and PayPal Payflow Link. They allow customers to pay by credit card without leaving your site pages.

Ecwid turns 3 today

Ecwid was released 3 years ago on September 25, 2009. Since the very beginning we have been working hard to create a shopping cart that changes the way people create and use online shops. A shopping cart unique by all means, easily embedding to any existing website, blog or a Facebook page. A solution, just as easy as adding a Youtube video to your blog post. These 3 years were exciting for us.


We have some updated service plan information to share with you. Ecwid will be changing our plan offerings at the end of September, and wanted to let you know what new choices will be available for you and for our future customers.
