Of your data, exportable any day
The average Shopify store runs 12–20 paid apps just to do commerce basics. Cartrop ships the entire stack natively — one codebase, one bill, no plugin roulette.
Write a rule once — tag, price, vendor, stock level — and products flow in and out automatically, in real time. No manual tagging, no nightly sync jobs.

On hand, committed, reserved, incoming, damaged — every movement is an immutable entry, per location. Flash sales can't oversell what the ledger won't allow.
+120 incoming · PO-2214
−2 committed · order #1042
= 212 available
Three option axes, 1,000+ variants per product. Rename an option and SKUs, barcodes, and inventory links all survive — no collisions, no orphans.
Stacked codes, automatic promotions, and issued gift cards with full balance history — the things other platforms outsource to three different apps.
Approvals, exchanges, refunds, and restocks in one flow — each writing back to the ledger and the customer timeline automatically.
Sales, conversion, repeat rate, sell-through by location — computed on live data, drillable to the order. When you do want raw data, export everything with one click.
Storefront, checkout, fulfillment, and the team behind them — managed from one console instead of fourteen browser tabs.
Every store gets an edge-rendered storefront on a custom domain, themed from the admin — no theme-store tax, no template lock-in. Password-protect it until launch day, then flip it live.

Your Shopify store keeps running while Cartrop imports everything. Flip DNS when you're ready — not a minute before.
Paste your Shopify Admin API key or drop the CSV export. Products, variants, images, customers, inventory per location — all detected automatically.
Cartrop shows exactly how collections, options, and stock levels will land, with conflicts flagged before a single record is written.
Preview the storefront behind a password, then point DNS. Checkout, discounts, and gift card balances work from the first minute.
“We deleted eleven apps the week we moved. Inventory finally reconciles to the unit, and our storefront went from 2.4s to instant.”
Amara Osei
Founder, Atelier Nord
“The gateway penalty alone was costing us more than our entire Cartrop bill. Switching paid for itself in the first month.”
Marcus Reyes
COO, Cascade Supply
“Three regional stores, one login, one bill. Our EU launch took a weekend instead of a quarter and a second Plus contract.”

Yes. Cartrop ships the entire merchant stack natively: product catalog with 3-axis variant matrices, rule-based smart collections, a multi-location inventory ledger, orders, returns and exchanges, discounts, gift cards, customer profiles, analytics, staff permissions, shipping zones, tax settings, custom domains, and themeable edge storefronts — no app store required.
Never. Cartrop charges a flat subscription and 0% transaction fees, regardless of which payment provider you connect. There is no penalty for using Stripe, Adyen, Braintree, PayPal, cash on delivery, or your own merchant account. Your margin stays yours.
Export your Shopify CSV or connect your Admin API key and Cartrop maps products, variants, images, inventory levels per location, customers, and collections automatically. Most catalogs finish in under ten minutes, and your existing store keeps running until you flip DNS.
Yes. Cartrop is multi-tenant from the ground up. One organization can run any number of stores — separate catalogs, currencies, domains, themes, and staff — with one login and one bill. No per-store platform licenses.
Every unit is tracked in an append-only ledger: on hand, committed, reserved, incoming, and damaged, per location. Stock adjustments, order commits, and returns all write immutable ledger entries, so counts reconcile to the unit and flash sales cannot oversell.
Completely. Your catalog, orders, and customers are exportable at any time in open formats, the storefront runs on your own domain with your own theme, and the API is uncapped. If you ever leave, everything comes with you.
Launch a store in minutes, import from Shopify in an afternoon, and never hand a landlord a cut of your sales again.
