A Wix alternative to create your online store easily
Wix is well known for building showcase websites: you start from a blank page or a template and move every block around freely. But when it comes to selling online, that freedom comes at a cost: you need an e-commerce plan, time spent on layout and plenty of settings. If your main goal is to sell your products, a solution designed for commerce from day one can save you a great deal of time.
Price: what you really pay
With Wix, selling online is only possible on the e-commerce plans, which cost more than the website-only plans. Depending on your needs, apps or add-ons may be added on top.
With 123Ventes, there is one clearly displayed price: 29 € per month, or 319 € per year. It includes hosting, the SSL security certificate, support, statistics, emails and newsletters, and an unlimited number of products. 123Ventes takes no commission on your sales: only your payment provider’s fees apply (Stripe, PayPal…).
Simplicity: a store that is already structured
Wix lets you design everything. That is a plus for a graphic designer, but a hurdle when you simply want to open your shop. 123Ventes starts from a store that is already built and organised: catalogue, basket, checkout, payment and delivery are all in place. You add your products, your texts and your photos, and choose your colours.
- Built-in payments: card, PayPal, bank transfer, cheque
- Built-in shipping: Mondial Relay, Colissimo, Chronopost, DHL
- Store translatable into 5 languages: French, English, German, Spanish, Italian
Support: someone to talk to
On a large international platform, help mostly comes from articles and forums. 123Ventes is a French company: support is provided in French, by email and by phone. If you are short of time, we can also set up your store for you, enter your catalogue or train you.
Who each solution is right for
Wix is a good fit if your priority is a highly customised showcase website with a few products on the side, and if you enjoy working on the layout yourself.
123Ventes is a good fit if selling is your priority: craftspeople, shopkeepers, makers and independents who want a complete store quickly, without becoming web designers.
Conclusion
Wix is an excellent website builder. But to sell online simply, a ready-to-use store with a fixed price and no commission is often more effective. You can create your 123Ventes store for free, set it up at your own pace, and only choose your subscription when you publish it.
