Growth not Fees.
Shopify is great for starting, but expensive for scaling. Litekart is the performance-first alternative designed for brands that want to own their tech, not rent their success.
Success-Based Pricing
Stop paying for expensive monthly tiers you don't fully use. Litekart's 1% success fee means we only win when you do.
Native Multi-vendor
While Shopify requires "app hacks" for marketplaces, Litekart is built for them natively. Multi-vendor is in our DNA.
Developer Freedom
No more Liquid limitations. Use SvelteKit, React, or Vue with a clean GraphQL/REST API. True headless freedom for all.

Escaping
"App Bloat"
Shopify's base price is just the beginning. To get basic features like loyalty, wishlists, and multi-vendor, you'll end up with a stack of 15+ apps, each with its own monthly bill and impact on site speed.
Litekart includes wishlists, coupons, and multi-vendor natively. No extra apps, no extra latency.
Common Questions
Thinking about moving from Shopify? We have answers.
What about Shopify's App ecosystem?
Shopify has many apps because its core is intentionally limited. Litekart includes 90% of what you'd usually buy apps for as native, high-performance features.
Is Litekart's checkout as good as Shop Pay?
Shop Pay is great, but Litekart's PWA-native checkout is optimized for sub-100ms response times and offline persistence, ensuring zero friction on mobile.
Will I lose my data if I switch?
No. We offer automated migration tools for Shopify. We can import your products, customer records, and order history seamlessly.
Can Litekart handle my flash sale?
Absolutely. Litekart is built on an enterprise-grade SvelteKit/Node.js stack with Redis caching, designed to handle millions of requests without breaking a sweat.
