Hi People,
I am one of the moonfruit user who find its shopping features very limited but I love the other tools that moonfruit provide. While I was searching alternatives I found Ecwid which is great tool and free tool and support tons of languages currencies, more flexible and customizable and seamlessly integrate with moonfruit page via html snippet tool. I am so excited to explore this so I just wanted to share it with all moonfruit users.

Hello
Does it give you more delivery options?

> Does it give you more delivery options?
Yes. You can use UPS, USPS, Australia Post, Canada Post, FedEx or just set custom rates based on total or weight.
Hey - I've just spent hours uploading my stock into my moondfruit shop! Can I transfer it into ECWID? It looks great.
Hi I do not think you can transfer it . You need to do it all over again, sorry
oh bummer - over a thousand items! and ecwid looks amazing! next client can have it on their shop! Thanks for the tip!
This sounds very exciting, thanks for telling us about it. It might offer the discount coupons and shipping options I've been waiting for MF to add. If anyone has used Ecwid could they post their URL so I can see how it looks onsite?
Thanks to kayaerhan3
I too find it very frustrating that there are very limited postage options on Moonfruit. I, like corriesmith would like to see how it looks onsite so can someome post thier URL to show us please.
I would like to see it on site too ... a url would be great
It would really help if MF could publish their planned release dates for shopbuilder enhancements - that way I can make an informed decision about waiting or looking for another solution - how about it MF?
hey we have now finished our site with ECWID - www.littlerebels.it or www.little-rebels.moonfruit.com
So far so good.
we've also made the jump to ecwid with: http://www.glassatelier.no/#/nettbutikk/4571695538 and
http://hotpotnorge.moonfruit.com/#/webshop/4566734679
Mainly because of 3 things:
As a happy plus we got several shipping & payment options incl. order now and pay when collecting, stock management options (also important, tho not critical), and order status notifications & tracking capabilities for the customer. The only thing I'm sorely missing is the products thumbnail in the edit product list interface MF has. All in all, very satisfied with Ecwid and wish Moonfruit had these options to begin with so we would not have had to go through 4 webstore set-ups.
Having said this, there is 1 major setback to Ecwid, the SEO you've built up for your products on MF is totally wiped off Google and Bing once you port it over to Ecwid. There is a lot of leg work involved with getting it back out there, and I am still spending time figuring it all out. Good knowledge of AJAX crawling tech. is definitely a pre-requisite before making the jump.
My advice, keep pressing for improved ShopBuilder enhancements.
At $99/month as I have in excess of 2,500 products I think I'll give it a miss........Just as well use wordpress with woo commerce plug in for nothing except hosting (£3-4/month).
