What is the best CHEAP e-commerce platform

They all start at about $29/month. Shopify is probably the easiest to use.

I would replace "cheap" (fear-based aka fear to spend aka not a good energy ) to "respected." Or something like that

If you try to begin with 50,000 items, then you will be spending all of
your time finding things to sell. Not everything is worth selling.

Do you even know what you want to sell?
Do you have some "Niche" market to which you want to market?
Do you know how to write ads?
Do you understand how to target ads?
Since you don't want to spend any money,
where will you place your ads - FOR CHEAP?

I would think that you might have some idea of how this marketing
thing works as you have been around for a few of years, and have
obviously given out marketing advice. E-commerce is slightly
different in that you are dealing with a lot of physical products at once,
and not concepts and strategies that no one understands or can follow.
(my cynical side coming out again).

Also, when selling physical products, people may already know
what they want. If you have it, they will buy it (if your price is right).
Customers can also see what they are getting (usually).

Unlike some traffic e-course where the customer has no idea of what
they are getting, If you can offer the same thing, at a better price than
the "Other Guy", why would someone want to buy from the "Other Guy"?
Okay, they just might buy from the "Other Guy" because they don't
know anything about you, and this other site has a great reputation.
(Just something else to consider before adding your 50 thousand items.)

The above questions are but a few of many that you need to be asking
yourself even before you begin thinking about some e-commerce platform.

As far as e-commerce platforms go, I doubt that you will find
a platform that will host for you and not charge anything. That's silly.
IF (Big If) you did happen to find such a platform, I can almost
guarantee you that you will not be able to put up your 50,000 items.
They will also have garbage for support and hosting.

There are a lot of things that are free on the internet, but most things
that are worth having are worth a few bucks.

Shopify was already mentioned, and they are probably your
best bet for a hosted platform. There are good, free, platforms if you
are willing to host them on your own site - if you have one.

Your thinking is going to lead you to buying a bunch of promises
from other marketers who will sell you e-commerce crap, but have
never even touched anything "E-commerce".

So, all that said, and you probably won't be reading it anyway, I do
have one suggestion. If I am not mistaken, Wix (free hosting) may
offer a free e-commerce site also. You won't have 50K items,
but I think that once you find out how much work it is to find and
and promote even 50 items, then you won't be too put out
with the smaller numbers.

Always remember that you can always expand your operation.
This is true in any marketing arena. The trick is to find out what
sells, and push it. While that is selling, you are trying to find
out your next item that is going to make it big.
All that takes a bit of testing and tweaking, but then I think
you know that already.

Sorry, I guess I'm sidetracked. I must be talking about marketing
and not e-commerce platforms.


Ryan, I really think that he does mean "Cheap"!

Actually, your question said "unlimited products". I can only go by what each of the big platforms I mentioned state on their pricing pages. That is, "unlimited products". We've never built a website with 50,000+ products because we build individual niche websites and none of those true niches has even one tenth that number of products. In other words, we have never hit the limit on "unlimited" (until now, I would have thought that would be like trying to reach the end of infinity or the end of the universe).

Shopify is free for trial then cheap.

BUT you know that you have to pay to drive traffic to that platform?

i think amazon is one of the best online shopping hub . quuality product at genuine price.

How about Shopify?

I like using Shopify. You can start with $29/mo plan. They also have 14-day free trial so you can try it for free and see how it goes

ShopyGen is the cheapest and affordable in current industry. By using it's Gencart software you can add unlimited no of products. Hope it helps

Instamojo is for free you don't need to pay anything

The best cheap e-commerce platform is Shopify. It is one of the leading shopping cart tools aiming to serve the market at very affordable rates. Actually, it is nothing but an app store that makes it simple to increase the abilities of your default web shop.

Hi i was reading through but nobody mentioned magento. This means it isnt cheap.right?

wordpress+woocommerce = Free and good

As one of the world's leading ecommerce platforms, with 100 million shoppers in 2016, Shopify has all tools to sell online, on social media, or in person. The key to making your web store successful outside the core Shopify functionality, lies in apps, add-ons and integrations.
Here information about cost, I do not know is it cheap or not for you.
