The Ecwid extension embeds a hosted online store in a Joomla site: products, orders and payments live on Ecwid servers, and shipping and tax are calculated automatically.
Ecwid is a hosted e-commerce platform, and this extension from the Ecwid Team embeds its storefront in a Joomla site. The catalogue, orders and payment data are kept on Ecwid servers, so updates, backups and store security are handled by the platform rather than by the site's hosting. It is an option for adding sales to an existing site without running a full shop component on it.
