Adding products to your store
With Ecwid, you can sell physical goods, digital files, services, or resell products of other suppliers. You can also use dropshipping if you want to run an online store but don't have your own products to sell.
Once you sign up with Ecwid, you can add your items to the catalog.
You add a new product by entering product details and uploading product images. If your product has options, like size or color, you can add a variation for each combination of options.
Grouping your products into categories makes it easier for customers to find them in your store. And if you want to highlight particular products, recommend them to your customers right on the storefront page.
You can also disable a product or delete it if you are no longer going to sell it.
The maximum number of products on different plans:
- Free — 5
- Venture — 100
- Business — 2500
- Unlimited — unlimited
