Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

EKM is a hosted ecommerce platform for businesses that want to create and operate an online shop without managing their own infrastructure. It is particularly suited to UK merchants seeking an established service with UK-based support, responsive storefront themes, product and category management, embedded payments, inventory tools, marketing features, and abandoned-cart recovery. A 14-day free trial provides an initial way to assess the platform before committing to its paid model.

Its strongest fit is for merchants that need practical connections across storefront, sales, operations, and promotion. EKM supports eBay integration and other sales-channel connections, while its integration list includes Zapier, Xero, QuickBooks, Printify, Linnworks, ChannelGrabber, EPOS Now, ShipStation, Facebook, and Google. API access adds another route for integrations, and Digital Vault supports digital product downloads. These capabilities give established businesses room to connect commerce activity with accounting, fulfilment, print-on-demand, and marketing workflows. The platform is available through the web, Android, and API.

EKM’s trade-off is breadth. It covers core hosted commerce and several useful business needs, but its platform coverage is narrower than leading ecommerce platforms. Merchants wanting a wide ecosystem or extensive control over the underlying code may prefer an alternative. It also has no free plan, so it is better suited to businesses prepared for an ongoing paid service than to very small sellers experimenting with ecommerce. Overall, choose EKM for a managed UK-oriented storefront with multichannel tools and business integrations; look elsewhere if maximum platform breadth or open-source control is the priority.

EKM pros and cons

  • Where it wins
    • Abandoned-cart recovery and eBay connectivity support multichannel selling.
    • Includes responsive storefronts, product management, payments, and digital downloads.
    • Connects with Xero, QuickBooks, Zapier, ShipStation, and other business tools.
  • Where it doesn't
    • Platform coverage is narrower than leading ecommerce platforms.
    • There is no free plan; EKM is a paid service after its trial.
    • It is not open source, limiting direct code-level control.
