2025 Platform Comparison

Performance beats Plugins.

WooCommerce is a legend, but it was built for the web of yesterday. Litekart is the high-velocity alternative designed for the AI-first commerce era.

Zero Update Anxiety

Stop spending weekends fixing broken plugins. Litekart's managed architecture ensures core updates never break your storefront.

Sub-100ms Speed

While WooCommerce struggles with TTFB, Litekart delivers instantaneous page loads via SvelteKit and globally distributed Redis caching.

AI-First Core

AI isn't a plugin at Litekart. Semantic search, intelligent cataloging, and automated SEO are part of the platform's DNA.

The Hidden Fees
of "Free"

WooCommerce is free to download, but scaling it isn't. To match Litekart's built-in features, you'll need dozens of paid extensions, premium hosting, and constant developer maintenance.

Migration FAQ

Everything you need to know about making the switch.

Is Litekart as customizable as WP?

More. Litekart provides a clean, Headless API. You can build any experience in SvelteKit, React, or Vue without being constrained by the WordPress "Theming" engine or its global state limitations.

Will my SEO suffer if I migrate?

No. Litekart is built for SEO with SSR (Server-Side Rendering) and automated Schema.org generation. We handle 301 redirects and URL mapping to ensure you keep your organic rankings.

Can Litekart handle 10,000+ SKUs?

Effortlessly. While WooCommerce starts to slow down with large databases due to its PHP/MySQL architecture, Litekart's Node.js/Redis stack is designed for extreme scale and sub-second catalog search.

What about payment gateways?

Litekart integrates with all major gateways (Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal, etc.) natively. No extra plugins, no per-gateway fees, just secure, high-performance checkout.
