Zen Cart

Long-running open source shopping cart system

About Zen Cart

Zen Cart is a shopping cart system that merchants use to build online stores with extensive community templates and payment modules. Running your own instance means the features, storage limits, and upgrade schedule are yours to choose rather than a vendor's roadmap. That makes it a practical fit for homelab users, small teams, and organizations that value privacy, ownership, and predictable costs over time.
