Overall Rating: 4.1 / 5 (Excellent)

Wix eCommerce provides templates that are mobile-responsive and fully customizable, where users can easily edit designs and create attractive storefront pages for their online stores. The eCommerce plan also includes several store management tools, SEO analytics, and various marketing campaign options to help grow online traffic and customer outreach.

Several of Wix's special features for online store options are only available via third party apps, most of which will cost extra. Many user reviews express discontentment with this, as well as the company's customer service. Despite ratings, Wix is still reputable for its easy-to-use design software without hidden setup and service fees.

Wix offers reasonable prices for eCommerce and other website styles and allows users to choose between annual subscription payment and monthly payment, depending on their plan of choice. Subscription renewal for premium plans are automatic and must be manually disabled by users. If users forget or are unable to pay for renewal of their premium plan, Wix reverts the website back to the free version, which disconnects a user's customized domain from the website.
