I am looking for a platform to build my eCommerce website but Wix isn’t designed for you to sell in bulk. It’s an incredible website builder, but its sole purpose isn’t ecommerce. Wix Stores is lacking in all departments. Shopify is one of the market leaders when it comes to in-built ecommerce features. For example, Abandoned Cart Recovery is included with every plan. Both Wix and Shopify allow you to sell physical, digital, and service products. As you can see, it’s a close start to the sales features race. As you’d expect, Shopify is the full package when it comes to inventory. You can upload single or multiple products, use stock management tools, get revenue reports, and navigate your way around easily. Wix is designed for smaller online stores. This means the inventory management is more limited than Shopify, in that you need apps to help with revenue reports and visitor analytics.
Overall, I am disapointed after all these years, Wix is lacking in eCommerce sector. You guys need create a platform (maybe call it something different. Something rejuvenated. Like how you guys created Editor X. Something completely different aimed at mass scale selling.) I would love to use Wix because it is extremely customizable. My business runs around $100,000 monthly but this is impossible to run on Wix.
Please develop a better system. Allow for easier intergration of third-party apps and API’s so developers can create more sophisticated apps. Right now, the Wix App Store is flooded with small add-on type apps, not major integrated apps. (ok, now there are some pretty cool apps but still Shopify has a much bigger variety of usefull apps.) We need Afterpay on Wix Stores! Wix please build a software that allows you to export CSV files from Shopify into Wix Stores seamlessly.
If there are ways of integrating above features, please comment below!
I’m looking specifically for drop shipping integration. The company I use to create my products are compatible with drop shipping on Shopify. Therefore as a customer orders a product, it automatically gets pushed to the factory for production and shipping. With Wix, every time someone orders, I have to manually export the CSV file and send it to the factory. How can this be automated?
I have current products in the Shopify editor. Is there way to export the CSV directly from Shopify to Wix without having to rearrange the excel format?
l have noticed that you’ve been going around in different threads and posting spewing hate on wix…with all due respect if you really don’t like t,why don’y you just move away to another platform of your liking instead of throwing around bias defaming statements and making the community quite toxic.
WE LOVE WIX and yes it’s not perfect but show me one product that doesn’t have weaknesses.
stay positive please
I have been using Wix for 12 years and love the platform. I even used the old Wix Store platform. About 5 years ago I switched to ecwid for my online store and overall is has been a good partner. I am considering switching back to Wix Stores but there is a major change we need (I have posted this before and have had a number of store users agree.
I sell artwork and allow customers to select a size, frame type, media, and a few other options but the only thing that effects the price is the size. The other options are simply there to help the customer to customize the product but not effect the price. We need to be able to create variants that are only there for customization not to create hundreds of variants that we need to turn off for pricing. Bottom line: we need a set of options that allow the customer to select options, we need to see the selected options on the order, but not have them effect pricing or create hundreds of variants.
I’m also working with a customer to sell art. It comes in different sizes. I’ve bumped into an issue that has stymied me. Until the customer selects one of the variant sizes, the cart button says “Contact Us for Purchase.” Extremely misleading. How can I fix that?
@ramaramsy Buddy, it is very little hate. It is more frustration that the worlds most used website creation platform has subpar features making it inadequate for large businesses to scale their business. I have used Wix for the past 5 years but when it comes to eCommerce and CSS custom design, they fall behind. Wix is plagued with a myriad of problems that haven’t been fixed. Not spewing hate, but the Wix Devs take extremely long to update features. The sites are very slow and their business solutions are half baked.
I am not here to throw defaming comments and create a toxic environment. I simply want to highlight the problems clearly so Wix actually does something to fix them. Just because you “love Wix” doesn’t mean you should overlook its flaws and follow through blindly.
I have grown accustom to Wix over the years, but as you said, I will most likely be moving over to another platform like Webflow which is way more robust and actually built for real professionals. Wix is built so anyone with half a brain and little design knowledge can use it. But for real software developers , it is far from meeting the standard. Wix Database is a subpar product when compared to pro tools such as Google Firebase. Wix eCommerce lacks the integration and power that Shopify has. That’s why some of the worlds biggest businesses run on Shopify. What big business runs on Wix??
The fact is, i’m right, and everyone else is angry because I’m making good points. I have the right to say what I want.
@liam10 well you have the right to say whatever you want, that’s for sure…n at the end of the day, if you really want to create something that suits your so called “Big Business” then go back to school, learn coding and build something from scratch,fully customized to your needs .
Am NOT against stating a products’ weaknesses but when you complain too much it turns out to be a rant😴!!..
Please no need of posting degrading threads all over…if you have to complain just post once, wait for a community manager/moderator to respond and see how you can be helped . IF YOU CAN’T really wait and learn how to live with a “platforms’ weakness”(like all platforms) while AWAITING improvements, then you will forever migrate to the “next better thing than the previous”.
ALL LUCK in your new home -Webflow , hopefully you won’t tarnish their name like you did over here to this beautiful platform that empowers us small businesses extremely well .
Below are endless complains about WEBFLOW( where you are running to):
