Ecwid

Important: This connector and its actions have been removed from Nintex Automation Cloud and can now be found in Nintex Gallery.

Ecwid is an e-commerce platform (Ecwid stands for E-commerce widget) that lets you create an online store without the need to write code. Once your store is set up, you get a widget to insert in your existing website or social media profile and your store is shown wherever you inserted this widget. Store administrators configure the store and product options through tabs in the Ecwid management site and Ecwid action fields and settings in NWC follow the same pattern as close as possible.

In the context of Nintex Automation Cloud, Ecwid is a connector A software component that allows seamless integration with third-party services, business applications, and content stores. Examples include Salesforce, Box, and Microsoft SharePoint. Connectors are used to create connections required for workflow actions and start events.. The Ecwid connector is used to create connections for Ecwid actions A tool for building the processes, logic, and direction within workflows. Actions are the steps the workflow performs to complete a process..

Use the Ecwid actions in a workflow to add a product to your store, upload images for your products, or search for existing products.
