What the marketplace adds
Official extensions extend payments, shipping, B2B, marketing, and storefront design. Razorpay and Shiprocket are examples merchants already look for. Multi-vendor is a free extension, not a second commerce product.

No weaker “coming soon” catalog
Combination products, subscriptions, virtual goods, and pre-order are not planned-only. They are in core. If a marketplace SKU repeats a core capability, treat the core product as the source of truth.

Questions merchants ask
Short answers for search and assistants. The full list is on the FAQ.
What is WentoCart?
WentoCart is self-hosted open-source ecommerce software from Weblytic Labs. You download it, install it on hosting you choose, and run catalog, checkout, orders, customers, AI, and chatbots on your own domain. There is no monthly platform fee.
Why choose WentoCart instead of a SaaS store?
You own the install, the catalog, and the customer data. There is no platform rent. Install with a 1-click script or the browser wizard on shared hosting. AI content, customer and admin chatbots, every product type, SEO health, and a database profiler ship in core. 500+ extensions on the marketplace are free, including payments, shipping, B2B, themes, and multi-vendor.
Do I need coding skills to run a WentoCart store?
No. Merchants install with Install.vbs on Windows, install.sh on macOS and Linux, the browser wizard, or cPanel, then run the shop from admin. Developers can extend the Laravel and React application when a custom project needs it.
How do I install WentoCart?
Download the community ZIP from wentocart.com/download. On your computer, run Install.vbs or install.sh to open the wizard on port 8099. On hosting, upload the package, point the document root at the public folder, and finish in the browser. PHP 8.3+ and MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.4+ are required. Node.js is not required for the prebuilt package.
Does WentoCart work on shared hosting?
Yes. The merchant package is built for ordinary PHP hosting, including cPanel shared hosting, as well as VPS and dedicated servers. You do not need a Kubernetes cluster or a Node.js build step to open a store.
Are WentoCart extensions free?
Yes. The official marketplace lists 500+ ready-to-install extensions at no extension price, including Razorpay, Shiprocket, B2B tools, themes, and a multi-vendor add-on. Hosting and third-party payment or shipping accounts remain your cost. WentoCart does not charge a platform fee.
Is multi-vendor included, and is it free?
Multi-vendor selling is a free marketplace extension, not complexity baked into core. Start with a single store. Add the multi-vendor extension when you need vendors, commissions, and operator tools. That add-on is free on marketplace.wentocart.com.
Is WentoCart AI-enabled?
Yes, in core. The AI Content Assistant helps merchants write product descriptions and other catalog content. Admins connect ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and other provider keys in settings. A customer chatbot and an admin chatbot also ship in core, so shoppers and staff can get answers inside the store.
