Customer Suggestions & Ideas for Ecwid

Welcome to our official feedback forum. Do you have an idea? Do you recognize a good idea when you see one? We want to hear from you!

Basic rules:
- One suggestion per idea.
- Please post ideas and comments in English.
- Please do not post “+1”, “I need it too!”, “a must have!” comments. Just vote for an idea instead.
- If an idea doesn’t have an exact ETA provided by our team, the “Any ETA?” questions will not give any answer either.

You can speed up implementation by voting for idea or sponsoring it. Please contact us at bizdev@ecwid.com for a quote.

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

    1. add API to update/add products

      The REST API currently only has GET methods to fetch product information etc. It is really incomplete unless it is possible to add / modify and delete products / orders through the API. Maybe this will require more security but without it, the API is rather useless. I suggest that you add PUT/DELETE and POST methods so that products can be updated via the API

          • Add a backend system that forwards orders to any suppliers that you specify for that product

            For those who do drop shipping this comes in very handy when you have multiple suppliers.

            • e-conomic.net integration (online accounting)

              Is there any chance that there is enough people in here that use e-conomic.net accounting service?

              It would be absolutely fantastic if there was created a "basic" integration of importing orders, payment status and accounted an order thereby automatic when marked paid.

              Other advanced stuff can be for later, the basic will basically make punching sales into e-conomic not needed (saves a lot of time).

              • Develop an API for order, category and product management in own CMS

                This would mean end users can both manage their website and shop in one place. It would make it more user friendly.

                • Shipwire Connectivity

                  Shipwire is an order fufilment service across the US, Canda and UK. They actively work with shopping cart developers and have an XML API in place. Info can be found at http://www.shipwire.com/help/c/how-it-works/developer-tools/ - I currently use this through ecommerce, and this is the only thing stopping me heading over to Ecwid.

                  • Extra product search options through API

                    Would be great if the API had calls for things like most popular products, newest products, with parameter for number of products to return.

                      • Pos Malaysia Real Time Rates

                        To facilitate Ecwid's recent partnering with iPay88, the largest on-line payment system in Malaysia, real time rates for Pos Malaysia are needed. There is an existing API for postal rates and I hope that Ecwid can build a widget or modify existing widgets to incorporate real time rates for all of us shipping within and from Malaysia.

                          • API street address

                            Change the order API to make address available in two fields just like it is entered. Every time I've needed to use this field, I've had to split it - returning it to the same format it was entered in with. It would save a step in every instance that I've used the API to have the fields broken out the same way they are entered by the customer.
