@@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💪
Hi Stewart, looks like a few changes have been implemented since your tutorial which made it a bit complicated for me as a newie to this but was very helpful thanx a mill!
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!
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.
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. Your responses to the question is what pushed me to subscribe. Don’t lose this attribute as you grow.
Hello , I have a question . I understood how to explain the store online. The product that I will sell I have to have physical in my home then when I receive the order I have to start shipping to the customer . That is correct.
Hey, I love the vid thank you so much for it. I just want to ask you if I'm looking to get set up on the site or if I'm also to integrate Printful did you do a video on it and are looking to do it right so if you can point me in the right way that is great so
@@StewartGauld Hey there thank you so much for getting back to me are you do appreciate your time and your effort on this matter yeah I totally understand thank you
Thank you so much for this video! So helpful! Are you able to have a way clients can schedule an appointment? I sale products but also make appointments for readings. Was trying to put everything in one website.😊
@@StewartGauld IN ecwid my store is ready. when a person tries to buy a product and click to the credit cards or the paypal pay button it opens a browser small window but instantly closses with an error Payment failed: Refused - payee account is restricted
Hey mate! Yes, you will need to arrange your own logistics. However, like I mentioned you can add your shipping options that your customers can choose from.
Hello. I created a website from this tutorial, my question is how do I know when someone places an order? Will I get notified ? If someone can answer my question I would really appreciate it..
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?
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 😊
Amazing video....May I know how to re arrange the products in the store? I want to list them in the order of my choice. For example - I want the 4th product to be the first product that shows up on the store. Also, can i change the text on the 'buy now' button to 'get now'?
Great explanation. I have a question. How can I enable the feature of adding buyer information such as city, district, etc.. because I do drop shipping
@@StewartGauld This doesn't make sense. How would eBay or, especially Amazon let someone sell on their sites without paying fees? And how would things work with opening seller accounts on these pages? Like I know Amazon has all these permissions to sell on their site. I can bypass all that by signing up with Ecwid? How? Very confused.
I'm about to finish my online store on Ecwid and I want to chose a icon customize to print on T-shirt's, should I go with printful ? or u have another good one?
So can add any image even from Google image to add to new product and if so how the customers get their products or do I need to go to a clothing or jellwery website to get image and a link of some sort so that the customer receive the products from purchasing from my website?
This is not true. Ecwid they charge you directly from your bank account, even if they don't tell you. You will be ask for $1.00 and and they get the password already to go back and they will tell PayPal that it was an arrangement between you with them..
Amazing video....i created a dropship store on ecwid. But I want to change the order in which the products are displayed on my site. I cannot see any option to change the product order. Can you help? I have manually added 7 products one by one. Thank you.
Go to "Catalog" then "Products". In the Product description on the right hand side, click on "Edit Product" which will take you to the Product Gallery then simply click and drag the images to whatever order you want - good luck!
@@SteveInQLD007 hey, looks like you misunderstood me. I am not asking if we can rr-arrange the product images. I am asking if we can rr-arrange the order of the products/items displayed on the website. For example - If on the website i have 4 products where the first product is a red ball, then a black one then a green one and then an orange at the end. Can I change its order and have the orange ball first followed by green one then red and then black.
Good job. But problem is that I don't have Stripe Account to link to ecwid platform to receive payment. This is because I am not living in the USA. What do I do?
Hello sir I have watched some other videos and even yours but I have one confusion that In shipping method we click on add shipping customize and add payment method. Does that mean we don't have to package and other stuff and ecwid does POD Please help me out with it.
Hi i was making a online dropshipping store and i am going for the venture plan....do i need to buy webhosting for my domain even if im buying the venture plan or will ecwid take care of it
Having an issue uploading products! I listed 10 one by one. Downloaded them as a CSV file and added in 20 more using that format and it won't take it. It keeps coming up error? Can anyone help?
This is the best video on TH-cam....i want to Dropship a product from aliexpress...can u tell me how can I import reviews from aliexpress to my ecwid store? Thank you so much
For further explanation if u go to dash board u see the visitor count product reviews, beside that was the tutorial which guided you also had 17% on top but now I can't find it

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

Welcome!
Thank you Stewart for this tutorials, such a big help. All the best to you, keep safe and keep well. This is your friend from Dubai.
Thanks mate!
I loves videos well spoken and well executed
Thanks! I appreciate it 🙌
Nice tutorial. You showed how to apply the PayPal method but I want if you could make a video of how to apply the stripe option as well? 🙂
Hey! Have you tried it? It's very straight forward :)
Nice explanation 👍👍👍, straight and to the point🙏🙏🙏
Very welcome my friend.
Great tutorial by the way! Like all your videos!
Glad you like them!
Amazing video. Very informative, yet easy to follow and understand.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your channel has helped me so much with my business, thanks a bunch!
Great to hear!
Bro how your profit??
Thanks for explaining, but I have no idea where to get the products from.
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.
Thank you Stewart, love how you can show NZ Post and NZ stuff. Do you know if its possible to sell Digital products with Ecwid?
Welcome. Yes Ecwid allows you to also sell digital products.
Where can I get the images of the product?
Do you have your own products? Take your own photos or get a professional to help you.
Hello Mate thanks for the time and efforts. What is missing from this video is how do you link up a supplier side to the store ? thanks in advance
Welcome! Do you mean for dropshippig?
Very good presentation, short, crisp and very informative.
Glad it helped!
Thanks. So what happens when they click pay and finalize the purchase? What's is the process from ecwid to us once purchase is made?
In Ecwid you can view your orders. Then, depending on your business process you can fulfill that order.
@@StewartGauld Thanks.
That was a great question
Thank you, good job. how to connect final site to a specific URL?? any option to do SEO for the site??
Your welcome. Yes you can under domains. Yes but it is very limited.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 😁Now I Understand Ecwid & how it works ✌💙🙂
You're welcome 😊
THANK YOU FOR SHARING, i really enjoy your tutorial, it was clear.😀
You’re welcome 😊
Can you please please please do a tutorial on how to create an ecwid account on your mobile device?
Hey mate!
It is much easier to do this on your computer. I suggest finding a computer you can use (just for the initial setup).
really good tutorial
Thanks!
This is probably an old video because Ecwid FREE plan is now limited to list only 5 products and the Venture plan cost $19 a month.
Are we aloud to buy from a manufacturer and sell it on ecwid ?
Hey Pat,
Yes the prices have changed recently.
Yup sure can. You mean dropshipping?
@@StewartGauld i would also like to know this plz...and many thanx.
Lovely. Thanks for making video in detail.
Glad you liked it
I got the Business plan
How do you find it?
I am unable to see the edited slide in preview as a customer . The same material is written as I never edited . Please help
As a website visitor?
Hello , I have a question . I understood how to explain the store online. The product that I will sell I have to have physical in my home then when I receive the order I have to start shipping to the customer . That is correct.
Yes, however, this depends on your business model.
Hey, I love the vid thank you so much for it. I just want to ask you if I'm looking to get set up on the site or if I'm also to integrate Printful did you do a video on it and are looking to do it right so if you can point me in the right way that is great so
Hey,
Welcome! We do not have a tutorial for this yet.
@@StewartGauld Hey there thank you so much for getting back to me are you do appreciate your time and your effort on this matter yeah I totally understand thank you
Thank you so much for this video! So helpful! Are you able to have a way clients can schedule an appointment? I sale products but also make appointments for readings. Was trying to put everything in one website.😊
Yes of course! However, its best to use a tool like Google Sites and the embed products from Ecwid and embed booking forms from a tool like Calendly.
Thank you so much 😊 @@StewartGauld
Nice! One question.. on the free plan, as the limit is 5 products, can we keep on adding new products after the previously added products get sold?
You will just have to delist the old products.
@@StewartGauld Awesome! Thanks!
Where are you purchasing your products to sell?
What do you mean? You can make them, import and sell or dropship or many ways.
hey made it but when i clicked to test it its says paypal payee account is restricted
What do you mean?
@@StewartGauld IN ecwid my store is ready. when a person tries to buy a product and click to the credit cards or the paypal pay button it opens a browser small window but instantly closses with an error
Payment failed: Refused - payee account is restricted
hey could u plz explain that how to export your ordered products to your customers......plz
Sure! We will be updating this soon.
Thanks, man for yourfree and easy tutorial
You're welcome!
Can you use it to create an online store for a client? How you you make them access it
Yes you can. You just will need to change the details. They do not offer a management portal
Fantastic tutorial! Is it possible for an Ecwid online store to have an opt-in pop-up to gather email addresses for future email marketing purposes?
Thanks! Yes you sure can.
Can we make a listing then delete it after that ? And put another one instead of it?
Hey mate,
You sure can.
The products I sell would I have to ship them myself from my post office or how does it get shipped?
Hey mate!
Yes, you will need to arrange your own logistics. However, like I mentioned you can add your shipping options that your customers can choose from.
Hello. I created a website from this tutorial, my question is how do I know when someone places an order? Will I get notified ? If someone can answer my question I would really appreciate it..
Hey!
You can control your notifications. You can get an email and notification on your phone.
@@StewartGauld thank you so much! I'll do it..
Hi where we get our products,do i have to go to Aliexpress? It's a great tutorial easy to understand thank you.
This depends on your business model and what you sell. Are you looking to get into drop shipping?
my navigation menu isn't working. Do I have to publish my website to make it work???
What do you mean? You cannot see it?
Excellent video! New subbie and liked. ; D
Awesome thank you!
Hi dear
Can you explain how to add search button in the ecwid?
Is it possible?
Thank you
Hey mate,
I will add this in the updated tutorial. You mean search bar?
@@StewartGauld yes
The question I have is what if you only have one in stock you want to sell ?
Then you can limit the stock to one. You have full control over this.
Hi Stewart, Great video. Will you be doing a more in-depth video on Ecwid?
Yes we will in the coming months. What would you like to learn?
@StewartGauld Hi Stewart, if you close storefront, can you preview updated products? Also, a walk-through of the pre-launch tips.
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?
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.
Very good! Thank you.
Welcome 🤗
I forwarded
my wife too
You are the best !!!
Thanks!
enjoyed this thankyou!
Welcome!
Thank you, that was helpful
Glad it was helpful!
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 😊
Correct! You can. Cash on delivery is as it sounds. They will pay you in cash when you deliver or they come to you to collect the product.
1.What currency should i put if I'm from Malaysia but I wanna make money in USD?
2.can i sell my product internationally?
Depends on the audiences currency that you are selling to.
Thanks this video helped me alot. Do you have any more videos from ecwid ?
We have a few! We also have an updated Ecwid tutorial and how to embed Ecwid into other websites
@@StewartGauld could I get a link for that updated video would love to see it.
Crystal clear explanation
Thanks!
Amazing video....May I know how to re arrange the products in the store? I want to list them in the order of my choice. For example - I want the 4th product to be the first product that shows up on the store.
Also, can i change the text on the 'buy now' button to 'get now'?
Yes you can make those changes. Make sure your using tags and categories to help you with this.
@@StewartGauld ok thank you so much for replying
Great explanation. I have a question. How can I enable the feature of adding buyer information such as city, district, etc.. because I do drop shipping
Hey mate,
Do that under payment details.
I do have a question how are they going to get their products? Sorry im confused is Ecwid going to ship it?
No Ecwid is the platform that you use to sell your products. This depends on how you plan to deliver your products.
how do i know the sku?
Under products.
A very helpful tutorial. Thanks so much! With a free account, am I able to sell digital files (of artwork or photography)?
Yes you sure can!
Hello great video...what I think I've missed is....what if i dont have the products will ecwid create and distribute the products for us?
No you will have tp do that through another third party platform. You mean dropshipping?
So we get our payment thru PAY PAL or other chosen currency companies.. does PAY PAL mail you a check ? how does this actually work ?
Hey,
Yes correct. You can login and deposit into your bank account.
You're really a blessing
You’re very welcome 🤗
Okay....so, we can sell on other platforms BUT do we need accounts on these platforms? How do things work with finances, fees and such?
Hey!
Nope it's free with most. Unless your using Wix or some other paid website builder and you want to integrate it with Ecwid.
@@StewartGauld This doesn't make sense. How would eBay or, especially Amazon let someone sell on their sites without paying fees? And how would things work with opening seller accounts on these pages? Like I know Amazon has all these permissions to sell on their site. I can bypass all that by signing up with Ecwid? How? Very confused.
I'm about to finish my online store on Ecwid and I want to chose a icon customize to print on T-shirt's, should I go with printful ? or u have another good one?
Hey mate,
Printful is good. They are all pretty good. Just depends on your preferences.
I have doubt that does this automatically sent the supply
Sorry?
I meant that does the app automatically supply the product. Eg: will it connect with aliexpress to supply the product
Plzz reply fast
So can add any image even from Google image to add to new product and if so how the customers get their products or do I need to go to a clothing or jellwery website to get image and a link of some sort so that the customer receive the products from purchasing from my website?

Can you not take images of your own products?
@@StewartGauld which product,, and where can I get product,, you mean I have to buy products first,, so I'll start selling them??
is that a free plan version you are using in the video??? by me it looks different? i cant add block or change any thing by footer?!

Yes it is. You will still have Ecwid branded but you can still edit certain elements.
This is the best ty
Welcome!
Hi Very Informative BUT the cursor is far too small to follow . IT IS POSSIBLE to have this much larger !
I have updated this in new videos with a blue highlight. Thanks!
Thanks a million... I really do appreciate. But how do we partner with producers and suppliers for trending products?
Welcome! If you want to get into dropshipping we suggest looking into Shopify as the best platform for this in our opinion.
This is not true. Ecwid they charge you directly from your bank account, even if they don't tell you. You will be ask for $1.00 and and they get the password already to go back and they will tell PayPal that it was an arrangement between you with them..

Please how can I put the instant site on maintenance mode? I’ve put the store on maintenance mode but the instant site is still active
I will have to look into that.
and how can people buy the product do you need to promote them on tik tok aswell?
Yes you can leverage multiple channels to get your products in front of the right people.
Good job.
But problem is that I don't have Stripe Account to link to ecwid platform to receive payment. This is because I am not living in the USA. What do I do?
Thanks mate! You can use Paypal? You cannot use Stripe in your country?

I have watched some other videos and even yours but I have one confusion that
In shipping method we click on add shipping customize and add payment method. Does that mean we don't have to package and other stuff and ecwid does POD

You will have to arrange your own shipping unless your using a dropshipping integrations or something like a POD service.

Sorry what do you mean?
Hello, i accidentally clicked hide suggestion on the tutorial in the dash board which say 17% how can i get it back
