The history of Ecwid

Ecwid was founded in 2009 to enable small businesses to easily add online stores to their existing sites.

The CEO, Ruslan Fazlyev, co-founded X-Cart, the world’s first PHP e-commerce platform in 2000. While X-Cart was very successful, it didn’t take him long to realize that lots of small business owners around the world already had websites, and simply wanted to be able to sell online. Ruslan decided to satisfy this need for small businesses and Ecwid was born in 2009. Located in San Diego, California and Ulyanovsk, Russia, Ecwid is the world’s most popular “add-on store builder” for SMBs. And with millions of new websites being built every year, they are prepared to help a new wave of small businesses bring stores online around the world.
