Add a fully featured online store to your ProSite website using the built-in Ecwid integration - no coding required.

## What is Ecwid?

Ecwid is a powerful, easy-to-use shopping cart solution that lets you sell products directly on your website. You can sign up for a free Ecwid account and manage your store without ever leaving ProSite.

## Adding the Ecwid module

The Ecwid signup and store management options are available directly within ProSite:

Drag and drop the Ecwid module to the section of your page where you want your store to appear:

### Store info

This is the Ecwid control panel, where you manage every aspect of your store. It gives you access to:

- **My Sales** - a list of all your orders and customers.
- **Catalog** - your products, categories and product types. Add new products and categories, or manage existing ones. Product types are groups of products that share the same attributes.
- **Promotions** - access to discount coupons. This feature is available on the Venture plan or higher.
- **Settings** - store-wide configuration, broken down as follows:

| Settings section | What it controls |
|---|---|
| General | Store name and URL, time zone, currency, languages, cart settings |
| Zones | Geographic destination zones used to define tax and shipping rules for specific regions, countries, states and postcodes |
| Shipping | Your supported shipping methods |
| Taxes | Automatic tax rate calculation for different regions, zones and countries |
| Payment | Your supported payment methods |
| Design | CSS customisation and thumbnail sizes for your storefront |
| Mail | Automated email notification templates |
| Invoice | Logo and business registration number for personalised invoices |
| Social Tools | Social features such as a Facebook Like button on your storefront |
| Square | Process online payments with Square, with no monthly or setup fees |
