Phoenix Cart is open-source software.
That means you can download it, install it, and run your online store without paying license fees.
Instead of charging shopowners every month, Phoenix Cart is built and improved by a community of developers, businesses, and merchants who believe e-commerce software should be accessible to everyone.
Phoenix Cart itself is completely free. Like any website, your store will need a few basic services to run online.
Your store needs a server to run on. Most suitable hosting plans cost only a few pounds (10 usd, 8 euro) per month.
Your store's web address (like yourstore.com). Usually around £10-£15 (20 usd, 18 euro) per year.
You can add themes, integrations, or hire a developer if you want something custom - but it's entirely optional.
The Phoenix Cart Core is free · The Code Co-op is for merchants who want more.
Phoenix Cart will always be free to use. But great software takes time and effort to maintain and improve.
The Code Co-Op is a premium membership for merchants who want exclusive addons, custom features, and a growing library of tools - while supporting the project's future.
No hidden fees. Just community-driven sustainability.
What surprised me most about the co-op is the wide diversity of the add-on authors. Of course, there are developers, but there are also shop owners who share what they needed. It's really practical and very useful.
