About EcartSoft

Independent reporting on e-commerce platforms, payments, marketing tools and business software.

EcartSoft is an independent publication about the software that online businesses run on. We report on shop platforms and marketplaces, payments, marketing technology, business SaaS and the growing use of AI in commerce, and we publish practical guides built from the official documentation.

What we publish

Short, sourced news stories and how-to guides. Each story explains what changed, who it affects and what it costs, and ends with a list of the announcements, filings, documentation and rulings it draws on. We say which facts come from a vendor and which come from a regulator or an independent source, and we keep opinion out of the news.

Our sections

  • E-commerce: shop platforms, marketplaces and the tools sellers build their stores on.
  • Payments: checkout, processors, wallets, fraud and the rules that govern them.
  • Marketing: email, ads, search, social commerce and campaign software.
  • SaaS: CRM, accounting, HR and the business software small companies use.
  • AI for Business: AI tools in commerce and operations, with the claims checked.
  • How-To: step-by-step guides built from official documentation.

How we cover products

We do not publish scored reviews. When we compare tools, we compare what the vendors document: features, plans, fees and limits, with links to the pages we used. Prices change often, so every figure is dated to the page we read.
