Compare-to prices
A sale on Ecwid is a lower price with the regular one crossed out. Zikkio reads both and writes them back the same way.
Ecwid catalogs and prices, through one API
Read products and variations from Ecwid and write prices, with compare-to prices for sales. The merchant installs your app once.

How a store connects
The merchant installs your app once. The token lasts until the app is uninstalled.
- Your product creates a connect session for Ecwid
- The merchant opens the link and installs your app
- They approve the permissions: store profile and catalog
- Zikkio stores the token and the store shows up as connected

What Zikkio handles on Ecwid
The platform details your integration does not have to deal with.
Variation prices
A variation without a price of its own sells at the product’s. Zikkio gives every row the price shoppers pay.
One token, no renewals
The token does not expire. When the merchant uninstalls your app, the connection closes with one call.
Ecwid questions
Before you connect the first Ecwid store.
Do tokens expire?
No. The token lasts until the merchant uninstalls your app.
How are sales handled?
Ecwid shows a sale as a compare-to price above the selling price. Zikkio returns the regular price and the sale price, as on the other platforms.
Can a merchant connect without the app?
Yes, with a custom app created in the Ecwid admin: its secret token is pasted once.
What does it cost to connect Ecwid stores?
Nothing per store: every plan, the free one included, connects as many stores as you need. Plans differ only in API calls a month. Current prices are on the Pricing page.
Does the same code work on the other platforms?
Yes. The request is the same on all ten platforms; only the connection ID changes. The Platforms page shows what Zikkio reads and writes on each one.
