Ecwid is a capable tool, but it comes with limitations that may not suit your business.
Limited storefront customisation compared to dedicated platforms
Free plan restricts to only 10 products
SEO capabilities are basic and difficult to optimise
Advanced features like abandoned cart recovery locked to higher tiers
Limited payment gateway options in Australia
Reporting and analytics are rudimentary at all tiers

Why mid-market Australian businesses choose custom-built over Ecwid.
Custom solutions have no per-user licensing. Whether your team is 5 or 50, the cost stays the same. Scale your business without scaling your software costs.
Ecwid limits integrations to their marketplace. Custom solutions connect directly via API to any tool in your stack — including industry-specific and legacy systems common for Logistics.
Unlike Ecwid's one-size-fits-all approach, we build e-commerce solutions for Logistics that match how your business actually operates. Every feature, field, and automation is tailored to your processes.
No vendor lock-in, no data hostage situations. You own the source code, the database, and the infrastructure. Your business data stays under your control permanently.
Ecwid's roadmap serves their shareholders, not your business. A custom e-commerce solution adapts to your strategy — add features, change workflows, or pivot entirely without waiting for a vendor.
Ecwid charges Free plan available; paid from $25/month to $99/month; transaction fees on free plan. A custom solution is a one-time investment — you own it outright with no monthly fees, no per-user charges, and no surprise price increases.
Ecwid's product roadmap prioritises their largest customers, not mid-market Australian businesses
Custom solutions integrate seamlessly with every tool in your stack, not just Ecwid's approved partners
Local Australian support from our Gippsland, Victoria team means faster response times and cultural understanding
Ecwid's subscription costs compound year after year while a custom solution is a one-time investment
Feature restrictions on Ecwid's lower tiers force expensive plan upgrades as your needs grow
Per-user and tier-based pricing penalises business growth on Ecwid
