Ecwid
E-commerce SaaS service that offers the performance and flexibility you need, with none of the hassles you don't. Works with your existing site, takes less than 5 minutes to set up. Web, Facebook and mobile devices

BigCommerce and Ecwid are both e-commerce platforms, though describing them merely as "platforms" is like calling a spaceship "a way to get from A to B"—technically correct, but missing all the fun bits. BigCommerce, for instance, is the sort of platform that mid-sized to large businesses might use if they were, say, planning to conquer a small galaxy. It offers a battalion of features like advanced marketing tools and analytics that can peer into the soul of your customer data, not to mention the scalability to handle enough product listings to populate a planet.

Ecwid, on the other hand, is the more easy-going, let’s-just-add-an-online-store-to-your-already-perfectly-good-life solution. Small to medium-sized businesses and startups love it because it's wonderfully simple—like discovering your towel already knows how to fly. It integrates with existing websites and social media with all the grace of an improbability drive suddenly deciding to work properly, making the setup process so painless you might start to suspect something’s gone wrong (it hasn’t).

In the grand cosmic scheme of things, BigCommerce is the ship for those with grand ambitions and fleets of products to manage, while Ecwid is for those who’d prefer their commerce with a side of ease, a sprinkle of flexibility and none of the hassle of rewriting the laws of physics to get it up and running. Both offer different journeys, depending on whether you’re navigating the universe of enterprise or just looking for a nice, quiet spot to sell a few things in your corner of the galaxy.
