Question about Single Store on Multiple Websites

    We are using the free version temporarily to test out all of the functionality. I need to have the same store on two WordPress websites. I already have ecwid installed on one website and it is fully set up. To install the same store on a second website do I just do this,

    1) install ecwid plugin on second website
    2) do some setup of the ecwid plugin on second website? My Profile!Profile? Settings!General? Anywhere else? Does it bring in all of the other settings automatically?

    Does this in any way affect/impact the live ecwid account on the first website?

    When I decide to disable the first website and use the second one as my primary (with the original domain) what changes do I need to do to ecwid on the second website?

    I guess in a nutshell I am looking to find out what settings are for cloud-based features and what settings are for the local website?

    Thanks in advance!!

    Hello John,

    This is Daria from Ecwid Customer Care Team. I’ll be glad to help you!

    It is absolutely to connect one and the same Ecwid store to 2 different WordPress websites. Moreover, you can use one Ecwid storefront on numerous sites, blogs and social networks at the same time. All product settings, shipping and payment methods, orders are synced and managed from one control panel. I’ll explain:

    If you already have a site (WordPress in your case) – Ecwid integrates into it, but the store itself runs on our servers, specially configured for that. We use our own servers for storing the data and processing the orders. Once you embed Ecwid into a site, it will be functioning as its integral part, yet the store data will be taken from our servers.

    So, if you want to install your existing Ecwid store to a different site, you do not need to migrate your settings. All you need to do is download Ecwid plugin on your new WordPress site and connect your existing Ecwid store to your new site. You will keep all the store data, it will still be in the same control panel, it will be the same store, but on a new website.

    Here you can find the instructions on how to add Ecwid to a WordPress website: https://support.ecwid.com/hc/en-us/articles/207101259-Wordpress

    Please keep in mind that our customer care team will be happy to help you with any requests you may have. So if you face any difficulties with the installation, feel free to contact our support team directly here: https://support.ecwid.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

    Hope this will help!
