A self-hosted store lives on a VPS you rent, not on a shared SaaS tenant. NitroCart is that product: orders, media, and admin sit on your IP. The license has no percentage of turnover. Start covers up to 3 concurrent IPs, Pro up to 5, Enterprise up to 10.
You take a server and a deploy path — Telegram Mini App in three clicks, or a Windows deployer over SSH. You gain data on your disk, payments by URL or API, and the option to lock admin by IP or VPN. You do not get a fully managed platform that hides the machine. If that trade is a problem, the engine is the wrong tool — we say so in when NitroCart is not a fit.
