CartGenie vs Webflow Ecommerce: comparison and contrast of features

Looking for a Webflow Ecommerce Alternative?

CartGenie gives you all the design flexibility of Webflow + the ecommerce power of CartGenie.

Webflow’s visual builder is world-class – but let’s face it: Webflow Ecommerce hasn’t evolved in years. Basic limitations, missing features, and a lack of ongoing investment have made it tough for growing stores to stay competitive.

CartGenie is a Webflow Ecommerce alternative that’s purpose-built to do better. We integrate natively with Webflow’s page builder while giving you real ecommerce power under the hood – from advanced shipping and tax logic to subscriptions, customer accounts, and in-store pickup.

And the best part? You can import your existing Webflow products into CartGenie to get started in minutes.
