Ecwid by LightspeedReviews of ecwid.com

I paid for an ecwid account so that I could sell the stuff I have on Instagram. I have worked for days to get ecwid to cooperate with Instagram. I had to work for hours and hours with Meta and open new Facebook pages and copy links and follow endless popup tabs to try to make things work. I have spent hours chatting with ecwid support people (all very polite) and am sitting here feeling terrible. I can't figure this out! it is so complicated when it doesnt work.

Ecwid has functionalities just like any other platform out there. What they advertise so much on is being able to connect with Amazon, e-Bay, Instagram etc. NOTE However, once you get to connecting with these other platforms, they direct you to PAID 3rd party softwares, and only through then will you connect with these platforms they so much market themselves with. Additionally, if you have products with different sizes and want to connect with Facebook, each size variant will appear as a stand-alone listing. For example you're selling shoes and you've listed 10 different pairs, and each pair has 7 different sizes (say US 36-42). For a good platform, integrating with another platform should only give you the 10 pairs. But once you connect Ecwid to Facebook, you'll get each size for each pair as a separate listing, and with same photos per pair! That means your 10 listed pairs will be 70 listings on FB. Wow!

Something is not right about this! Why are all the recent reviews from accounts that only have ONE review listed? I ordered contact lenses that aren't supposed to be available anymore (Acuvue-2-Colours-Enhancers). Lets see how this goes...

I did their free trial in order to see if this commerce option would be right for me. The problem is, they block access to things that I really need to be able to access to find out if this platform is a viable option. They also block chat support unless you are at a certain tier as well. So, while it appears this platform could have what I need, I'll never know.
