About Snipcart

Snipcart is a shopping cart and checkout that developers add to any website by including a script and marking up products with HTML attributes. It works well with static site generators, Jamstack frameworks and headless CMSs, giving you a cart, checkout, customer accounts, digital goods, subscriptions and an order dashboard without running an ecommerce backend. Payment gateways like Stripe and PayPal are connected directly, so revenue goes to your own account. Pricing is a percentage of sales, with a minimum monthly fee for low-volume stores, charged in US dollars. It is not a store builder: you need a website and some development skills, and its catalogue features are simpler than full platforms. It runs in the browser.

Best for: Developers adding a cart to static, Jamstack or CMS-driven sites.
