In today’s world, the Internet has become more than just a platform where information can be shared. Unless you have been living under a rock, you would agree that the Internet has now come to be a place where anyone can carry out almost all of the activities that one has – from talking to friends to attending a class, to conducting a business.

One common activity that most people the world over do online is shopping. This is the reason why more and more companies are investing in making sure that their traditional brick-and-mortar store has an online counterpart. It helps that most online shopping platforms can be had at a very minimal price, with some offering free registration. But what do you do if you already have a website and you want to turn it into an online store? You get Ecwid.

No, Ecwid is not an online store platform. It is actually a shopping cart widget that can be used in any website platform in order to turn it into an online store. Although there was already a number of shopping cart widgets out in the market, two things make Ecwid stand out – ease of use and the fact that it is free, no string’s attached! Ecwid, however, is more than just a simple shopping cart widget. As a pioneer in its field, Ecwid has to up the ante.

With almost a million merchants on its platform, it is no surprise that Ecwid has joined the technological bandwagon. Just recently, Ecwid has made it possible for its 900,000 clients have access to their stores right when they need it the most with the help of the Ecwid Android app. The Ecwid mobile app is more than just a shopping cart. In fact, it allows clients to:

• Manage their inventory while on the go (including editing product descriptions, removing unnecessary and outdated pictures, and uploading updated images)
• Monitor customer transactions and track customer behavior
• Make use of various online social media platforms in order to sell their products
• Provide a way for your customers to buy your products even when they are on the go.

With the Ecwid app, you can easily process orders and even ship them without having to go looking for the nearest desktop. Orders are updated real-time so you can easily check whether you have items that need to be shipped immediately. Talk about making the most of your mobile phone! The Ecwid app can easily be downloaded on any Android phone, tablet, or even phablet. All you need is an access to the Google PlayStore and you are good to go! The interface is very organized so managing your products should not be a problem. Free members, who choose to download the app can upgrade their account and take advantage of all the functionalities of the app.

While most competitors would have their app available in both iOS and Android environment, Ecwid focuses more on the growing number of customers, especially in developing countries, who make use of Android for its simplicity and ease of access.
