i dont understand Why these shopiy things are S-o expensive ?i used Wordpress only theme cost me 50$ and 10$ per month hosting ,one year only cost me like under 200$
There are a few reasons why they are more expensive than a self hosted WordPress site. The hosting set up is usually much better than shared hosting that most WordPress sites use (even some WordPress hosting can cost $100's a month). Custom built software designed specifically for ecommerce, which is continually updated and maintained for you. Support to help you run your site and they generally offer more specific support than what you get from a hosting provider. For running an ecommerce business, the right platform can make life a lot easier as a lot of stuff is taken care of behind the scenes, where as with WordPress, you need to learn how to build and maintain a WordPress site and run the business that goes on top of it.
@@EcommerceGold I've just spent three months setting up a new website with EKM and have had to resign the project. The image upload system is so painfully slow and inadequate it makes adding new products worse than watching paint dry. You can only upload one photo at a time! Also, the integration with Facebook and Instagram is not an integration at all. There is NO integration! You have to use Google Tools to transfer your products over but there is no synching. So if a product sells on EKM, Facebook or Instagram, there is no automatic synchronisation to remove the product from the other two. Likewise, if you edit a product, the other platforms are not edited. This, in my opinion, makes EKM unusable for businesses that add or edit products regularly. Back to square one.
Want to try EKM for yourself? You can do for free by clicking my link → www.ecommerce-gold.com/ekm (and thank you if you do)

Do you know how well it works with external inventory management systems?
No as I don't have access to one, so can't test it out. You could try dropping them an email asking them about integration with the system you use.

Out of EKM and Shopwired, which do you think has the best delivery solutions?
They are very similar in their offerings but EKM does have more templates and integrations.
@@EcommerceGold Thanks for that! I looked into their payment gateway fees and found Shopwired is 1% and EKM is 2%. Is that correct?
It depends on the payment gateway you are using and the rates are set by the gateway not ShopWired or EKM
@@EcommerceGold Ok, I will have to do some more digging in that case. Thanks for your help.

Sorry, way to expensive!
They are one of the more expensive options but it does also depend on who you are comparing them to.
@@EcommerceGold I guess it depends on who you are and how successful the business you have already is.
I think it is more about finding the right solution that is going to help your business grow, whether you are a start up or established business.
