Common Questions
Can I run a tire & wheel store on Ecwid?
Technically yes, but Ecwid wasn't built with tire and wheel fitment in mind. You'd need to add a third-party fitment app, manually source and list SKUs from suppliers, and build your own checkout logic for financing. Fitzy includes all of that natively.
Do I have to give up Ecwid to use Fitzy?
No. Fitzy is a widget that can be embedded into an existing Ecwid site, or we can build a complete standalone storefront for you starting at $29/mo.
What does Fitzy include that Ecwid doesn't?
A tire and wheel-specific fitment engine (bolt pattern, offset, load rating), 1M+ SKUs from 75+ suppliers pre-loaded and synced in real time, a package builder, and managed fulfillment — all included rather than stitched together from separate apps.
Is it cheaper to use Ecwid with fitment apps, or Fitzy?
A general platform plan plus the apps needed to approximate fitment, live inventory, and financing typically runs $150–$500+/mo before you've sourced a single supplier relationship. Fitzy includes all of it for $500/mo flat, or $0/mo on the revenue-share plan.
