Create customer groups and accounts for personalization
Upon customers making a purchase on your platform, Ecwid automatically creates a personalized customer account for them. You can later group accounts into categories and target them effectively.
Customer accounts
Offer customers the convenience of their own accounts, where they can log in at any time and view their order status, member discounts, invoices, and make new purchases. This creates a customized experience, and encourages their return.
Customer groups
Organize your customers into different groups such as wholesale, B2B, VIP customers, etc. By doing so, you can offer a special store wide discount to the members of each group. When they log in, they’ll see their discount — encouraging new purchases.

Who doesn’t love a good sale? Create excitement by offering discounts to your store. Or offer gift cards, ensuring not only a future purchase but also a special gift.
Discounts
Coupons, promo campaigns, sale prices, BOGO deals — offer these irresistible incentives to attract customers. It’s effective to offer these to your repeat customers to encourage more purchases.
Gift cards
Let your customers purchase gift cards, whether for themselves or as a thoughtful gift. Customize them with an image, name, and message. When people use gift cards, they tend to purchase more items, resulting in increased order value.
