They believe that this is the right approach to add e-commerce to your web site or blog.

Who are they?

They are the same ‘guys’ who brought to the world of e-commerce very popular X-cart.
They are the Qualiteam.

I you are asking yourself why “free” and why “AJAX” when they already have out there powerful PHP based e-commerce solutions, then they have next to say…

“We are not here to bash PHP: we have X-Cart and LiteCommerce, PHP products that have been the core of our business since 2001. We will continue to develop PHP e-commerce software. All of today’s best shopping carts are PHP based. PHP always was and still is the way to go if you have a bunch of geeks constantly modding your site. But what if you need just a store, nice and easy, working in minutes? That’s what Ecwid is for. And it is quite powerful, too.“

“Ecwid is still BETA version and will stay in beta for quite a while. We just want to make it beta the Google way: we are going to improve it constantly. We’ll be adding more features. We’ll be adding more languages. We’ll be adding more widgets. We hope you’ll like it.“

As someone who has been using their X-cart for many years I believe that there will be soon all a lot of new happy owners of online stores out there.
