Please do avoid this platform.
Please do avoid this platform. Issues includes syncing with facebook/instagram - existing for over a year and they have still not fixed. Several temp workarounds but really not working seemlessly. Issues working with the plugin in ecwid - continually failing making with time consuming issues with small product links with blogs and ecwid - broken links - constantly being emailed by fasthost and google with issues about links that have been broken with ecwid. Only 12 months ago was £30ish per month continually going up in price and now a massive £55 and it does not work properly!!!!! Time consuming for small businesses constantly having to address issues. Recently I got messages constantly with security risks on the plugin on my site. All of their making - taking up all of my time. AVOID
Response from Ecwid by LightspeedJul 22, 2025
Hello! This is Irma, Ecwid by Lightspeed team. Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are truly sorry about the issues you've faced with our platform. We understand how much time this has taken away from your small business. This is definitely not the experience we want for our users, and we take your concerns very seriously. I've carefully reviewed your past interactions with our support team, and I want to provide an update on how we've addressed or are currently addressing them. For the issue with Facebook, our team asked for additional details to report to our developers. We haven't yet received that information, but if you're able to provide it, we're ready to escalate this for a fix. As for the problem with the product card widget on Wordpress, it is assigned to a developer and should be fixed soon. Regarding the broken links issue, we investigated it and provided an explanation of the cause, along with an instruction on how to fix it. And for the security risks of our plugin, we have implemented a fix in version 7.0.1, and it has been confirmed by the Fasthosts team. Regarding our pricing, we understand that price increase can be concerning. We increased our prices to grow our platform and continue adding more value and functionality to merchants using our platform. We did not make this decision lightly and without much consideration. We are committed to providing a reliable and efficient platform for all our users, and we are genuinely sorry that we have fallen short in your experience. If one day you decide to give Ecwid a second chance – we will be happy to see you again.
