In this article I want to discuss the different dropshipping platforms that can be used to create an ecommerce website.

We would take a look at the pros and cons of creating a dropshipping store using Woocommerce, Amazon, Ecwid, Shopify etc.

I just want you to get the understanding of how they compare to each other so you can pick a platform that’s best suited for you.

Then finally, I’d detail how you can start dropshipping with any of these platforms.

Dropshipping-Plattformen; mit Shopify - die Vor- und Nachteile

Shopify is an e-commerce platform which gives you the flexibility of quickly setting up a website in a matter of minutes.

Shopify ist bei Dropshippern sehr beliebt, aber warum ist das so? Werfen wir einen Blick auf die Kostenauswirkungen, die Vor- und Nachteile der Verwendung von Shopify;

• Shopify apps; most apps are free. Some premium apps usually cost about $100 a year whereas others may have a one-off lifetime payment.

Dropshipping on Ecwid

Dropshipping on Ecwid can be a simple way to launch your own ecommerce website for free. 

Ecwid offer a free forever plan which has just the basic features needed for a webstore.

You can always upgrade to a paid plan to unlock more of Ecwid’s features. 

Here is a snapshot of the cost of using Ecwid as your dropshipping platform.

• Ecwid License ; Ecwid has a free forever plan as well as premium plan starting from $15 a month or $12.50 if paid annually.

• Ecwid apps; most apps are free. Some premium apps usually cost about $100 a year whereas others may have a one-off lifetime payment.

• Thema; most Ecwid themes are free. Some premium theme cost around $100 a year whereas some may have a one-off lifetime purchase.

• Werbeausgaben und Sonstiges; this may take an estimated average of $0 to $1500 to break even.

• Vorteile; Ecwid has a free forever plan although with limited features but you get more features when you upgrade to their paid plan. Ecwid is also a much newer platform. It has a growing community and a growing number of apps. However compared to Shopify or Woocommerce, Ecwid doesn’t have as many apps or as much user base.

My recommendation 

To be frank with you, when I first started ecommerce, I tested most dropshipping platforms.

Ecwid was the first that I tried because it was free to get started although it had pretty cool features for any beginner. I think I wanted more because I was curious about the hype around Shopify. 

So, I tried Shopify. It was great but since I’m not a big fan of recurring monthly bills, I settled for Woocommerce. Well, that’s just my own dropshipping rollercoaster journey.

I know some other dropshippers might argue and say it’s Shopify for them or Ecwid. Whatever is good for you, so far you’re making money. That’s the goal right?.

Well, I laid out the pros and cons of each so you could decide for yourself what platform you’d prefer to use.
