Key takeawayIf you use Ecwid's Instant Site, convert its address (or your custom domain). If the store is embedded in another site (WordPress, Wix, your own HTML), use the page that contains the store as the start URL — ideally a lean page with just the store. Ecwid's storefront and checkout work in WebViews; test payment providers and make sure the host site's pop-ups don't cover the store.

Pick the start URL
| Setup | Start URL |
|---|---|
| Ecwid Instant Site | Its address or your connected domain |
| Embedded in WordPress/Wix/HTML | The page containing the store widget |
| Several pages with widgets | A dedicated “Shop” page |
Keep the host page lean
An embedded store inherits everything around it: the host site's header, pop-ups and footer. For the app, a simple page with your logo and the store widget feels best.
Clean URLs
Enable clean (SEO-friendly) store URLs so product links shared from the app open properly and back navigation behaves.
Checkout
Ecwid's checkout works in the app. Test each payment provider, especially ones that redirect to an external page.
Notifications
Ecwid sends order emails; add push in the app for promotions and status updates.
Frequently asked
Does Ecwid offer a mobile app for my store?
Ecwid has apps for merchants to manage stores. For a customer-facing app with your brand, convert your storefront URL.
Can I convert just the Ecwid store, not my whole website?
Yes — use a page that contains only the store as the start URL.
