Here are the issues:
1. Cannot change the look of my pages
2. Do I need to remove WIX stores? How do I do that?
3. Do not want to use the email it is making me use
4. Do not want to promote another link just want my domain name
5. Do not like the look of the template for the invoice, however, I would need to relearn HTML or pay to use another program. I want to just change it like a word doc
6. There are attributes here that I thought we can assign to products so that our customers can look up whatever they want, but they dont work
7. You have a space for UPC but no information linked on how to get one
8. There should be an easier way to upload all the products and information I already have on wix but there are no instructions on how to do this.
9. Also I have email accounts with WIx I am hoping that moves over also since I do not want to get rid of that.
Please email me if you do not want to answer here.
THank you

Hi Gen,
Ecwid Customer Care team here. Thanks for all your questions and sorry that you're facing difficulties with setup. I'll be glad to explain everything and help you out.
Please allow me to answer your questions one by one:

Design of Ecwid can be changed in any way by means of CSS, ready themes or color adaptive mode as described in this article:
How to change Ecwid design
Please refer to that article and feel free to ask if any particular questions appear on how to change this or that element.

As far as I understand this query, you now have both Ecwid store and the Wix default Shopping Cart installed on your Wix website.
Basically, we do not force you to remove the Wix shopping cart in any way, so you can leave both be if you like. But anyways, if you want to delete the Wix Shopping Cart from your site, I suppose you can refer to this post on Wix community here:

Do you mean this email field on checkout:
Basically Ecwid always collects customer's email address, which is then used for sending mail notifications to the customer, such as "Order Confirmation", "Order Shipped" etc.
Even though there's no default option to disabled the email field or make it non-required, there's a way to make that happen with some custom JavaScript coding. Particularly you need a script which would enter any custom email in that field and hide the field itself.
Then you'd need to disable the Mail Notifications in your store, in order not to send any emails to that custom pre-filled address.
If you have a developer at hand, you can supply them with our
JavaScipt API and let them code it for you.
If you don't have a dev, though, I can send your request over to our Customization Service – they can code it for you on paid basis.

I see your store located on your Wix website now here:
http://www.charlijade.com/online-store
Could you please in this case elaborate on what URL you'd like to change?

Thanks for the feedback on this. We're planning to change the way of editing the invoice template in future, but for now it's only in HTML. No ETA for these changes to come up, unfortunately.
There's a good point about it, though, considering that HTML provides maximal customizability to templates.

|
As far as I understand, you assigned
Product Attributes to items in your store and you need Search or filters based on them.
The search currently works with product titles, SKUs and descriptions. So, as a workaround you can type certain attributes right in the product descriptions, so that they're found in search.
If you need the filters just by attributes, though, it can also be done as a custom solution through our
Product Filters API.

UPCs, which are
Universal Product Codes are not to be obtained for your products through Ecwid, as they're normally obtained through
GS1 US. Check here for example:

Products can be imported to Ecwid from any system in a CSV file. Check here for all the details on this:
Importing Products
As for exporting products from Wix, I searched for info about it on Wix Forums, but did not really find anything useful, sorry. Found this Chrome plugin which seems to do the trick, though:

Looks like it's about customers' emails export from Wix to Ecwid. Just as well, we have a method of importing them to Ecwid:
https://www.ecwid.com/apps/featured/...stomers-import
Export from Wix should be possible either through Orders or Contacts. Check here:

Hope this helps. If some more questions appear, please ask here or via email.
