A self-hosted alternative to a Shopify marketplace app and CS-Cart Multi-Vendor
If you want multi-vendor eCommerce marketplace script you actually own instead of renting forever, NexCart is an original, source-code alternative to a Shopify marketplace app and CS-Cart Multi-Vendor — self-hosted, rebrandable and a one-time licence from $249.
Why choose a source-code alternative?
Hosted tools like a Shopify marketplace app and CS-Cart Multi-Vendor are quick to start but you rent them forever, your data and branding live on their platform, and costs climb with seats and usage. A source-code platform like NexCart flips that: you pay once, host it yourself, and keep full control of the code, data and customer relationship.

Frequently asked questions
Is NexCart really an alternative to a Shopify marketplace app and CS-Cart Multi-Vendor?
Yes — NexCart covers the same core use case (multi-vendor eCommerce marketplace script) but ships as source code you self-host and own, instead of a hosted subscription like a Shopify marketplace app and CS-Cart Multi-Vendor.
Is it open source?
NexCart is sold as a commercial source-code licence: you receive the full, readable codebase to host, modify and rebrand. It is not a public open-source repo, but you get and own the source — closer to self-hosted than a closed SaaS.
How much does it cost vs the SaaS?
From $249 one-time, versus recurring monthly fees that scale with seats or usage on hosted platforms. After purchase there is no revenue share.
Can I migrate or customise it?
Yes. Because you hold the source, you can customise features, integrate your own gateways/APIs and white-label it for your brand or clients.
