Who It’s For
Webflow Ecommerce is for designers, creative businesses, boutique store owners, and startups who care deeply about how their store looks and feels. If you want to avoid the “template-look” stores and want to fine-tune every detail—from animations to checkout flows—and you don’t mind learning the interface, this can be a strong fit. If you need extremely advanced ecommerce features (subscription systems, very large catalog, complex shipping zones) you’ll want to check if Webflow’s features match your requirements.
