Uploading a profile photo

You can add a profile picture to your Ecwid account. Your customers will not see it, but it can make your account feel more personal. The avatar is shown in the right upper corner of your Ecwid admin and on the Profile page.

Ecwid picks up the icon from Gravatar.com. If you have an account with Gravatar and your Gravatar account email matches your Ecwid account email, Ecwid will display the avatar you set up through Gravatar.
