Questions about
switching from Ecwid.
Is Orderain better than Ecwid for a new store?
If you want a complete, standalone store — yes. Ecwid works best as an add-on to an existing website. Orderain gives you the full package: AI-built store, complete dashboard, and all features included.
Does Ecwid charge transaction fees?
Ecwid itself doesn't charge transaction fees, but you'll pay whatever your payment gateway charges (typically 2.9% + 30¢). Orderain charges zero platform fees — you only pay your payment processor's standard rates.
Can I build a full website with Ecwid?
Ecwid's Instant Sites are basic single-page stores. For a full website, Ecwid recommends embedding into WordPress, Wix, or another builder — adding extra cost and complexity. Orderain builds a complete multi-page store from your description.
