Ecwid
Lightspeed
Add a store to the site you already have, from $5 a month
Ecwid adds a shopping cart to an existing website, Facebook page, or Instagram, with no transaction fees from Ecwid. The $5 Starter plan covers 10 products. It is for a business adding online sales to a site it already likes. A large catalog store needs a different tool.
Cost at your size
Monthly card sales
On $10,000 of card sales a month: $335 a month with card fees, at a $75 average sale.
Ecwid costs $34 less than the median e-commerce tool for $10,000 of monthly card sales ($369).
The $5 Starter plan pays for itself if it saves less than an hour a month at $30 an hour, our assumption.

A vendor that posts every small issue can show more incidents than one that posts few, so a low count doesn't prove fewer problems.
