Merchants wanting deepest features (Shopify better), enterprise merchants (Adobe Commerce or Salesforce Commerce Cloud better), or merchants prioritizing largest app ecosystem.
SMB merchants with existing websites (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, custom) wanting to add commerce without replatforming, plus multi-channel (social + marketplace) sellers.
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from Ecwid by Lightspeed’s product card in our Top 10 E-commerce Platforms for 2026:

- ! Lightspeed parent strategic uncertainty
- ! Embed positioning squeezed by Shopify Buy Button
- ! Smaller app ecosystem
- ! Limited B2B features
