Ecwid Empowers and Enriches Web Developers With Its E-Commerce WebPartner Program

Ecwid Inc., maker of the only e-commerce application that enables retailers to add a full-featured online store to any existing website in minutes, announces its WebPartner Program. Ecwid now provides premium support, expanded services and lifetime commissions to web designers and developers, in return for referring customers to Ecwid.

Ecwid, the fastest-growing e-commerce platform for small businesses globally, is used by over 400,000 retailers in 175 countries and is available directly and through a network of partners. The multi-platform Ecwid is also Facebook's (News - Alert) most popular store builder app.

The WebPartner Program provides developers with exclusive resources including early Beta previews, a members-only forum with priority support, exposure in Ecwid's partner directory and special marketing opportunities to Ecwid's existing merchants. Interested parties are invited to learn more and sign up at: http://www.ecwid.com/webpartners.html.

The Program also offers web developers, sitebuilders, small hosters, marketing agencies and other technology consultants a 20percent lifetime revenue share for paying customers that they refer to Ecwid. There is no limit to how many customers a WebPartner may refer or how much commission they may earn.

"Thousands of web developers around the world already are familiar with Ecwid's ease of use and robust feature set, and typically are our best source of referrals," says Jim O'Hara, president of Ecwid, Inc. "We are happy to recognize this community with a generous revenue share and special resources to help them extend their customer base, especially as operating multiple storefronts becomes the standard for online retailers."

As the trend in distributed commerce (one merchant selling across multiple online storefronts) accelerates, many Ecwid merchants operate stores on websites, mobile, social media and other online venues, all managed from a single control panel.

"We picked Ecwid because it's unbelievably easy to setup and embed into any website - which makes it an ideal online store companion for WordPress sites," says web developer Sarah Rayer, president of S. Rayer Associates. "We also view Ecwid as our customers' foundation for selling in multiple places simultaneously, including the leading social networks. We are excited to work with Ecwid and are pleased with the commissions we receive as a result of this collaboration."

"Ecwid is the first thing I mention to anyone who wants a shopping cart," says developer George Brothers, president of New Cow Media in San Antonio, Texas. "It's effective, easy to install, and works well for the end user."

Ecwid WebPartners can track their referred customers online and receive commission payments via PayPal (News - Alert). Ecwid provides a tracking link to ensure partners receive credit, and also provides branded online banners and social media messages to help developers promote the Program to their customers.
