Why Switch from Shopify to Litecart?

Complete Data Ownership

Your data stays on your servers. No third-party access, no data mining, and full compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR and HIPAA.

No Per-User Pricing

Pay only for hosting (~$5-20/month), regardless of team size. Add unlimited users without increasing your costs.

Full Customization

Access the source code and customize Litecart to fit your exact workflow. No feature limitations or paywalls.

No Vendor Lock-in

Export your data anytime. Move between hosting providers freely. Your business isn't dependent on a single vendor.
