Ecwid Tutorial for Beginners | How To Sell Products Online for FREE | Ecommerce for Small Business

[@turinhorse]

5 years into my business... Many shopping carts later... Ecwid is the best

[@StewartGauld]

Hey Turin, Thanks for the feedback!

[@hello_Corn]

So did you plug in to another store to get sales or just use ecwid only

[@turinhorse]

@@hello_Corn We incorporated it into our existing website. Was pretty easy with the software we use. WYSIWYG Web Builder

[@cationr]

@@turinhorse can i ask? If i link ecwid to a dropshipping store, then when people buy the item, the item will be ship from the store directly to them? If item on the store costs $5 but i sell as $10, do i have to pay the store first? And how can i provide the address of buyer to the store?

Did follow step by step, by the time the video was done, my sketchy store was up. The site has been revised a bit and some menus may not be where they were set before. I wonder too how an upgrade may look like in the long run. Let's see how 2023 , 1st quarter in sales go like. Thanks for sharing💪

[@johnn1056]

Thanks so much for this tutorial I found the setup a bit intimidating but this video clarified a lot. But one thing thats diffrent from the video is that free plans only enable you to sell 5 products sadly. But honestly thats enough for me to get started. Thanks again!

[@StewartGauld]

Hey! Welcome. Yes correct, that is a new change. Hope it's enough to get you started.

You are awesome for this and a super hero for taking the time to respond to people. I know it can get overwhelming as your channel grows, but I wonder would it be wise to hire someone to handle responses when it becomes to much for one person 🤔 Just food for thought.

Hi where we get our products,do i have to go to Aliexpress? It's a great tutorial easy to understand thank you.

[@StewartGauld]

This depends on your business model and what you sell. Are you looking to get into drop shipping?

[@kamadarono9016]

Thanks for explaining, but I have no idea where to get the products from.

[@StewartGauld]

If you don't have products to sell. I suggest looking at dropshipping as an option to help you get started in the ecommerce space.

[@CoreyHinde]

ooh, never heard of this one, must check it out. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

[@StewartGauld]

Amazing tool mate. Excellent for small business owners looking to sell online fast! Also, the only decent ecommerce tool i've come across that has a free ecommerce plan. This tool is a hidden gem.

hi Stewart, your video does helped me a lot thankyou so much but i want to ask that do I have to upgrade in order to add more than 10 products in my store? it is too less for someone who is looking for a free store or without a budget, right?

[@StewartGauld]

Hey, Yes that is correct. Alternatively you can add your products to Stripe and link this to your website for free. We have tutorials on this.

Hi i liked the way you explained excellent i have a question in EKWID how the payment process is like if we send by air via any courier services so will it be ok? cash on delivery am.confused like getting money in bank account 😊

[@chasehadley5230]

Bad advice. You can't tell them "if this is part of your strategy". It absolutely should be. You can't just create a store and expect people visit to magically visit. You must spend money and time to drive traffic to your online store.
