LC Cart Light: The High-Performance E-Commerce Core Engine
LC Cart Light is the essential, lightning-fast core of the LC Cart system. Born from the needs of a luxury retailer, it cuts through the bloat of WooCommerce and the fees of platforms like Shopify and Etsy. For just a **$19 one-time purchase**, you gain full ownership of a performance-first ecommerce storefront and admin panel, engineered for peak speed and total customer control. Stop renting your business and start owning it.
Core Advantages: Speed, Ownership, and Zero Fees
The system provides the fundamental tools for a professional online store, focusing on performance and financial control:
-
Lightning-Fast Performance (91-100 PageSpeed): Built on pure PHP, LC Cart Light delivers 0.3-second page loads. This speed is critical for reducing customer bounce rates and directly increasing sales conversions.
-
Zero Transaction Fees: LC Cart itself takes 0% of your revenue. You pay only a single, low price for the software and manage standard fees directly through your payment gateway (e.g., Stripe).
-
Own Your Customers: Unlike marketplace platforms, you own all your customer email addresses and order data. This allows you to build genuine relationships and market to repeat customers directly.
Essential Features for Immediate E-Commerce
LC Cart Light includes the robust features you need to get products listed and orders flowing efficiently:
-
Efficient Image Management: Features **on-the-fly thumbnail generation** (cached and WebP supported). This saves disk space and ensures all product images are optimized for fast loading across different devices.
-
Google Merchant Center Ready: Includes **automatic basic JSON-LD product schema markup** to ensure your products are compliant for Google Merchant Center and eligible for rich snippets in search results.
-
Clean URLs and Search: Uses clean, SEO-friendly URLs for product pages and handles simple **query string search** functionality effectively.

Admin Panel: Includes professional management tools for essential daily tasks: managing products, updating categories, tracking orders, and storing secure customer history.

Robust Import/Export: Supports reliable UTF-8 CSV import and export for managing your catalog data without corruption issues.
