Self-hosted store engine: your VPS, your data, no turnover cut
A self-hosted store engine runs on a VPS you rent. Orders, media, and the database stay on your server. NitroCart is licensed by concurrent IPs — Start 3, Pro 5, Enterprise 10 — with no percentage of turnover.
What this is
NitroCart is the full store: four formats (Catalog, Landing one, Landing multi, Tickets), cart, checkout, admin, traffic tools, and updates in one Docker contour. You deploy via Telegram Mini App or the Windows desktop deployer; the shop is live on the IP in minutes.
How it works in NitroCart
- Formats: switch in Site settings → Render setting without reinstalling.
- Deploy: Mini App (~5 min) or desktop deployer (~8–20 min); next shop on the same server from ~15 min.
- Domain: Cloudflare A record to the same IP; license and data stay.
- Payments: URL or API to your processor — no platform checkout lock-in.
- Updates: Docker image + patches, not a public add-on marketplace.
Who it is for
- Media buyers and affiliates who rotate offers on paid traffic.
- Dropshippers and resellers who need their own storefront.
- Event organizers selling tickets and merch on one VPS.
Workflow
- Buy the license (Mini App or seller site).
- Deploy to Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 VPS.
- Set format, theme, currency, and payment URL.
- Point the domain via Cloudflare.
- Lock admin to IP/VPN if needed.
