Updates 2023
A brief on-point overview of key features released in Ecwid every month to help your business grow.
December
Buy a domain for your website from your store admin
A domain is your site web address that customers open when they want to visit your online store. Before, you had to purchase a domain name from a registrar and then set it up to connect to your website. Now, you can purchase a unique domain right from your Ecwid admin. And even better news: Ecwid will automatically set up a domain for you, so you just skip the technical setup process. Short and memorable domain name increases customers’ trustworthiness and may improve your site rate in Google search results.

Enjoy more flexible discounts
With new advanced discounts, you can quickly put on sale dozens of products or entire categories. And the best part is that you can schedule the sale by specifying the beginning and ending dates. Prices get discounted once the sale starts, and revert back to normal after it ends. All discounts are saved in your store admin, so you can turn them on and off whenever you need.
Learn about creating advanced discounts →
Take data-driven decisions with new reports
Learn how your store performs with the new Ecwid analytics available on the Reports page. You can get insights about visitors, orders, and accounting. Each metric has a variety of parameters to help you understand how your business is doing. Among others, you can see how much time people spend in your store, do your customers tend to repeat orders, what’s the average order value, etc. More key metrics will be released in the nearest months.

Get more payment features with the new PayPal integration
Try the new PayPal integration with the latest updates, introducing a range of payment-related features to boost your store. That includes paying in installments with the Buy Now Pay Later payment option, offering country-based payment options at checkout for European customers, and refunding the order right from your Ecwid admin.

Get control over sorting items in orders
When a customer adds multiple products to the cart, your online store retains the sequence in which each item was added. This item order is reflected on the order details page, in invoices, and other order-related sections. Now, you have the flexibility to modify this order to enhance the fulfillment process. To do so, go to the Settings → General → Cart & Checkout and choose the preferred order in the Sort products in orders by setting:
Learn how to sort the order of purchased items →
Get more convenient order export with CSV files
When you export orders via CSV file, you can now choose how to export product options: in one dedicated column, or put each product option into a separate column. That makes the order management process a lot easier and less time-consuming.
Learn how to export orders with CSV file →
Be specific when showing the lowest product price before discounting
European businesses may need to display the lowest product price before discounting in the store in order to comply with local laws. Previously, you could only show the lowest price for the last 30 days, even if the item was recently added. To help you provide customers with more precise information, your store now automatically calculates a specific number of days the product has been sold in your store. For example, if you add a product on December 1 and put it on sale on December 10, the price will show “10 days” instead of "30 days".
Learn how to display the lowest product price before discounting →
Add titles for cancellation tax invoices and translations to custom texts in invoices
More ways to customize your regular invoices (printable orders) and tax invoices: you can set a special title for your cancellation tax invoices to meet your business needs or the legal requirements in your country. What is more, you can provide translations for all custom messages that you have added to your invoices that is crucial if you run business in a multilingual country or sell abroad.

Mobile app for iOS: Create 3D models of products
If you own an Apple Pro device* equipped with the LiDAR scanner, you can create and showcase 3D models of your products with the help of the Ecwid mobile app for iOS. The models you create will be available on the product details page. Shoppers with iPhone and iPad devices will be able to virtually "try on" a product in real life using AR technology. This is especially useful if you sell furniture, shoes, or apparel. To create a 3D model, you have to go to the product editing page, tap the button to add a new image and then tap the Create 3D Model button.

November
Get advanced tracking in Google Analytics
While Google Analytics updates its methods of tracking events, we keep up with those changes by updating our integration with Google Analytics 4. The Ecwid-Google Analytics integration now records server-to-server "purchase" events, meaning that events are not affected by ad blockers or blocked third-party cookies. As a result, you get more accurate sales reports: no more discrepancy between the sales statistics in the Ecwid admin and the statistics provided by the Google Analytics interface.
Learn more about using advanced tracking with Google Analytics 4 →
Filter products by brand in your store admin
Updating specific brands in bulk is now easier with a new Brands filter option. All you have to do is go to the Catalog → Products page, filter your catalog by one or several brands, choose a specific brand, and voila — you will see all the products matching the filter criteria. You can then update all the items with the Bulk Product Editor. For instance, put items on sale or assign new product ribbons. To filter products, you must assign the brand attribute to all the products.
Learn more about assigning attributes to products →
Swipe between orders in one click
Browsing orders is now easier with the navigation arrows at the top of the Orders page. You can click arrows or use Ctrl + ←→ (Cmd + ←→ on Mac) hotkeys to quickly switch between orders without leaving the order detail page.
Add product videos in bulk
Uploading videos for products is now easier since you can do it with the Bulk Product Editor. Instead of opening each product one by one, you can upload videos from the spreadsheet-like editor. Whether it’s YouTube videos or Instagram reels, they will complement your images, inclining people to make a purchase. In the video, you can show the manufacturing process, explain how to use a product, or simply showcase a product in detail.
Learn how to add videos for several products at once →

No need for your customers to contact you directly for tax invoices. From now on, they can download them directly from their customer accounts.

Customers can also access special cancellation (refund) invoices through the Download Cancellation Invoice button if applicable.
Customize store access on WordPress for your employees

Giving or restricting permission is possible from the user edit page in the WordPress administration panel. By default, new users do not have access to your Ecwid store.

You can add your catalog to marketplaces by using the Channable or Koongo apps from the Ecwid App Market. The Codisto app is no longer available on Ecwid, so if you have used Codisto to list your products, try Channable or Koongo instead. Both apps support other marketplaces such as Walmart or Bol.

Learn how to inform customers about an estimated delivery date →
Export tax invoice numbers in a separate column in a CSV file
You no longer need to manually add invoice numbers to the exported CSV files when filing taxes. Now when you export a CSV file with the order details, the file will contain a separate column with the tax invoice numbers.

To see the column, you need to enable the tax invoice feature in your store.

US: Purchase shipping labels for hazardous materials (HAZMAT)
Lots of everyday items such as nail polish, perfume, or lithium batteries are considered hazardous materials (HAZMAT). These items must be declared when buying USPS shipping labels, otherwise it may lead to fines and other penalties.
To meet the USPS requirements for shipping HAZMAT, you can enable a specific setting for labeling parcels with HAZMAT. That way, each time you buy a label, you will be asked whether or not a particular parcel contains hazardous materials eligible for shipping.

Allow buyers to search products by SKU
Your customers can now search products in your store by SKU. It’s particularly helpful for those who frequently reorder the same products, or shoppers who want to find a particular item they saw in a catalog that lists the SKU.
