Ecwid by Lightspeed Ecommerce Shopping Cart

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

199 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 144 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 83% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 3.3 years ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   I love this plugin. Using it for years and they continue to improve on it. The latest improvement is a big one as it adds better seo value to the urls by removing the product id from the end of the url. Nice one! The one thing I wish it could do better though is to have better abilities to show products and categories on different pages within WordPress. As it is right now the existing options aren’t great as they’re just a variation of embedding the category Or a single product. To me this is where woocommerce does a much better job of integrating into wordpress.So I developed two widgets to address this issue. Anybody is interested in them just contact me and I will give you the files. Here are two websites using the two widgets I created. Widget is a reviews widget that pulls in product reviews and the second is a products widget that pulls in products. There are loads of options and customizations for each.To see it in action check out covered Bridge Maple Sugaringand HM Cattle Company dot net specifically the homepage and the tallow page.

   The only complaint that I have is that I had to upgrade to another plan in order to have digital files. Other than that, this works for what I need it for – and I couldn’t be happier…. unless I can downgrade and still have digital files (lol – kidding, mostly).

   I am just starting to use Ecwid but so far it ticks all the boxs that many other platforms could not. The shipping configuration is the best I have used, the interface is easy to navigate and the customer support is great. I highly recommend to anyone selling online. I only wish that they offered a la carte features as I dont need most of them.

   This is a great plugin if if you want e-commerce in WordPress and don’t want to be bound by the standard plugins available like WooCommerce or EDD etc. Though I don’t use some of the best features available because I don’t use the Gutenberg editor rather I use the Avada theme it’s still very useful and a great plugin. Keep up the great work, I definitely recommend this plugin!

   Navigating the Ecwid platform has been an absolute breeze, much like the user-friendly standard interface we all know. It loads swiftly, and I haven’t encountered any issues with Ecwid thus far, which has been a pleasant surprise. I must say, I’m thoroughly impressed – kudos to the team behind Ecwid for not only making my life more convenient but also for bringing everything I need together in one convenient spot. It’s truly a game-changer!

   I’ve been using Ecwid for 10 or 12 years. I started in one store and over the years added it to 3 other websites and their stores. It’s easy to learn and use and it has almost all the whistles and bells one could ask for. The support is fast and helpful and they go out of the way to solve problems or develop a solution to any request. I’ve tried many other solutions over the years and so far Ecwid is the best I can find.
