Create a one-page Checkout? So it makes it easier for customers and we don't loose them in the 4-5 Step process.
Create a one-page Checkout? So it makes it easier for customers and we don't loose them in the 4-5 Step process. Customers are easily discouraged when the checkout process is long.
It would be beneficial for all business owners using ECWID to update and simplify the checkout process. I do most of my sales directly using Square at events. It's simple. Can a simpler Square-like checkout method be implemented through the Paypal platform in ECWID?

Slider or featured products on first page (landing page)
There is no way of easily way to highlight products on the first page and I find this extremely important and almost common practice and essential to boost sale. It is not enough just showing category titles or a selected category on the first pay. Some sleek way to select and showcase given products or categories above or below category titles would be a great addition.

Multiple Stores, Within the Store
One of my clients has a store setup with ECWID but sells various types of products in different categories from a single, physical location. He would like, however, to have two different online stores and different .COMs. I would love to see ECWID allow multiple stores where only one store's products are available on one site, and the other store's products available on the other site. And...I'd like to see cross store products much like there are currently cross category products.

allow coupons to be used "per item" rather than just off of the total. I would like my customers to receive $5 off each qualified product.
I would like to be able to offer my customers a "per product" discount. We are a theater and would like to offer a discount per ticket rather than off of their total purchase. If there is a way to do this currently I haven't been able to find it. Thank you for your consideration.

"Back In Stock" Notification to customer
When an item is out of stock, it would be great if there was a option for the customer to click on a "notify me when back in stock" option, where a simple name and email address pop up form could capture their details and pass them on, so that we can have a record of who to contact when the item is back in stock. Great customer service, customer retention and database expansion tool...

At this moment the “Back in Stock Notifications” feature is available via this 3d-party free extension:

free gift options based on total ordered
Add a free gift options based on total ordered. In order to encourage larger purchases, it would be great to offer free gift options where customers can choose and unlock a variety of gifts based on the ammount of their order.

Advance search / filter for products by types, price, manufacturer or other product attribute
Allow customers to filter products in store or in a category (depending on which category / sub category the customer is in).
filter options should include :
1) price ( or price range)
2) any option or attribute that has been assigned to products such as brand, size, colourThis would enable customers to filter directly to the product price range or manufacture etc with out having to search through categories with many products in them.
This could be set up as a whole new filter snipet or as an advanced search.
see attached screenshot of an example of how…

Display a "Free Shipping" icon when shipping is free
To display an icon on the product page to show a product is free shipping.
Right now, the shipping cost is unknown until the buyer arrived at the check out page.
This is very common on site like Amazon or eBay.

exact.com integration (online business software)
Exact Online is business software that is easy to use, safe and reliable. With its industry specific solutions it helps to facilitate companies’ specific needs. Additionally, it provides possibilities for better collaboration and advice between accountants and their customers.
Integration with Ecwid would be the missing part of the puzzle.

Scroll product gallery images or view product gallery images by option
My store has a lot of options for some products. Having a lot of images in the product gallery doesn't look that good. A solution would be to only show 3 to 4 thumbnails that automatically scroll. The other solution would be to allow product images to be assigned to different options so when that option is selected the corresponding image thumbnails are displayed. The solutions would make the shop look neater.

Offer a product between Venture and Business plans. Venture too limited in products, Business too much and expensive. 500/100 product plan
Offer a product between Venture and Business plans. Venture is too limited in products at 100, Business too much and expensive. 500/100 product plan with enhancements would be great.

Make it Responsive
Responsive Web Design is the future, as opposed to having a secondary site for mobiles. Make it easier for me to sell your cart to our clients by making it responsive. Change the <td> structure to <div> structure to allow elements to stack on smaller screens.
Having "Responsive Design" on your Home page will put you ahead of your competition.

Ecwid shortcodes for Wordpress
This is how I use Ecwid on my (self-hosted) Wordpress blog:
I use the plugin "Shortcoder" (do a search within Wordpress) and create my own shortcodes. I paste the Ecwid Javascript in the plugin and give it a name.
Then where ever I want to display the store, I simply paste the shortcode. It keeps the Wordpress HTML code nice and clean. This is super simple to do, and saves you a lot of headaches when you edit the page or post where your Ecwid store is displayed and prevents you from accidentally erasing some of the javascript code, because…

Sales Tax
Allow someone to build a U.S. Sales tax plug-in/widget that plugs into the shopping cart. I'll pay the monthly fee to know Sales tax rate charged per Zip is current and accurate.
Surely some out there can build a plug-in or widget for dynamic updating. Similar to currency converter plug-ins with other e-comm cart providers.

Vertical Categories widget support default category option
This idea is suggested on this forum thread,
http://www.ecwid.com/forums/showthread.php?p=83299#post83299
Please vote, if you would like this functionality for the Vertical Categories widget. It is useful for multiple stores with hidden root categories and public sub-categories. Thank you.

Currently, Ecwid categories widgets show the full list of enabled categories. Unfortunately, it is not possible to set the default category for this widget.…6 votes -
Make the one product widget in optional smaller sizes. It does not fit on my website without messing up my design.
The product widgets are great but it is too large for my homepage on my website and when I adjusted the width and length, it just added scroll bars! It does not fit into my design
