What is TitanCart?
TitanCart is a full-featured eCommerce plugin for WordPress. It ships everything you need to run an online store — products, categories, cart, checkout, orders, payments, shipping, tax, promotions, customer accounts, reviews, reports, import/export and a REST API — in one plugin with its own database layer.
What makes it different
TitanCart does not use WordPress post types or custom fields to store store data. Everything lives in purpose-built tables with the tc_ prefix and is queried through TitanCart’s own lightweight ORM. That keeps your wp_posts table clean and makes catalog operations fast at real retail scale.
There is no ecosystem of required add-ons to reach feature parity with competing plugins. Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, Square, real-time shipping, multi-currency, product options, quantity-tiered pricing, tax rules by destination, a promotions engine, customer groups, reviews and reporting are all part of the core plugin.
When TitanCart is a good fit
- You want a single annual subscription instead of stitching together ten WooCommerce add-ons.
- Your catalog is large enough that WordPress post-type overhead is slowing you down.
- You want a modern React admin interface that feels like a dedicated commerce dashboard, not a tab inside the WordPress editor.
- You want the option to later run the same store engine outside WordPress. TitanCart’s services, repositories and hook system have no WordPress calls inside them — only the thin bootstrap layer does.
When TitanCart is not a good fit
- You depend on a specific WooCommerce-only extension that has no TitanCart equivalent.
- You want a free plugin. TitanCart is an annual subscription (see pricing) — extensions are one-time purchases with free lifetime updates.
