CartThrob

ExpressionEngine’s most robust commerce solution. CartThrob is a flexible commerce platform that allows you to deliver thoughtfully crafted, bespoke e-commerce experiences.

CartThrob is a flexible e-commerce solution built specifically for ExpressionEngine. Unlike bolt-on shopping carts, CartThrob treats your products and orders as native Channel entries, giving you complete control over your data and design.

Why CartThrob?

Total Design Freedom - Use ExpressionEngine’s templating system to create any shopping experience you can imagine. No generic cart pages or checkout flows. Your store, your way.

Sell Anything - Physical products, digital downloads, subscriptions, donations, event tickets—if you can think it, you can sell it.

Real Payment Processing - Accept credit cards securely with support for major payment gateways including Stripe, Authorize.net, PayPal, and more. Process payments in real-time with confidence.

Built for Developers - Extensible APIs for custom taxes, shipping calculations, and payment gateways. Template generators provide instant code snippets for faster development. Create custom integrations without fighting the system.

Native to ExpressionEngine - Products are Channel entries. Orders are Channel entries. Use all the tools you already know—categories, custom fields, relationships—to build sophisticated stores.
