Case Study: Shopify sellers cut shipping costs and stress with Ecwid

How Ecwid Saves Me From Stress While Shipping

Shopify was running into shipping and admin headaches after launching a product line via Kickstarter: the store owner struggled to create accurate shipping estimates and couldn’t get reliable ShipStation integration or correct weight syncing, which led to undercharging international customers by $10–$20 or overcharging others, plus paying $30+ a month for a plan that lacked features. They evaluated Ecwid (and its ShipStation integration) as an alternative to solve those problems.

Ecwid was implemented quickly—set up in about ten minutes—and its ShipStation integration correctly synced weights and calculated real-time shipping rates, eliminating the chronic under/overcharging. As a result, the switch to Ecwid saved the merchant an estimated $100+ in shipping fees in under six months, reduced platform costs by about $14 per month versus the Shopify basic plan, and increased ease of selling by enabling product embeds across multiple sites to capture more traffic.
