CartOS is a comprehensive e-commerce and point-of-sale platform designed to help you sell products online, in person, and everywhere in between. Whether you're starting a new business or migrating from another platform, CartOS provides all the tools you need to build, manage, and grow your store.
What makes CartOS different
Unlike other platforms that charge percentage-based transaction fees, CartOS uses flat-rate pricing. This means your platform costs stay predictable as you grow.
CartOS also takes a unified approach to commerce. Your online store and physical point-of-sale share the same product catalog, inventory, and customer database. There's no syncing between separate systems because everything lives in one place.
Key features
Online store
Build a beautiful, fast online store using CartOS themes. Customize your store's look and feel using the visual editor, Liquid templates, and section-based architecture. No coding required for most customizations.
Point of Sale
Accept in-person payments with CartOS POS. Purpose-built modes for different industries—retail, restaurant, winery, salon, and more—ensure the interface matches how your business actually operates.
Bolts
Extend your store's functionality with Bolts—modular apps that add features like customer reviews, wishlists, A/B testing, shipping protection, and automation. Many Bolts are built by CartOS and included with your subscription.
Marketing with Cascade
Cascade is CartOS's built-in marketing automation system. Send targeted email campaigns, recover abandoned carts, and create automated workflows—all natively integrated with your store data.
Payments
Accept payments through Stripe, PayPal, and other providers. CartOS handles PCI compliance so you don't have to worry about security requirements.
