FAQ

Why doesn't my Ecwid store redirect to checkout when my customers try to pay

If you're hosting your website on Google Sites and you've embedded an Ecwid store or shopping cart on the website, your website cannot redirect to checkout. Instead of embedding the Ecwid store or shopping cart, you should use Ecwid's Instant Site, which allows you to redirect to checkout when your customers try to pay.
