THIS VERSION IS NOT EE2 COMPATIBLE! Use on EE1x sites only. Using the power of ExpressionEngine and CartThrob, your store looks and works exactly like you envision it. Create your unique shopping experience with EE's built in templating system. Store orders and manage products using standard weblog entries. CartThrob stores can look just like your site because they're truly integrated. CartThrob lets you make the most of your ExpressionEngine website. Sell products, software, donations, articles... tangible and intangible products. Take credit cards in real time, securely and with confidence. Add ecommerce capabilities to new or existing EE sites! (and by the way, the devot:ee store runs on CartThrob, so if you want to know a bit of what CartThrob is capable of... you are looking at it!)
CartThrob works the way you do. Whether you want a single-page checkout, or a multi-page product configurator, CartThrob can handle it.
Looks like your site
Using the power of ExpressionEngine and CartThrob, your store looks and works exactly like you envision it. Create your unique shopping experience with EE’s built in templating system. Store orders and manage products using standard weblog entries.
CartThrob stores can look just like your site because they’re truly integrated. CartThrob lets you make the most of your ExpressionEngine website.
The features you’d expect
CartThrob calculates shipping and tax, creates and processes coupons, stores orders, products, configured items, sends receipts and more. CartThrob has all of the features you’d expect of a traditional shopping cart, without any of the overhead.
Create related products, upsells, cross sells, options and add-ons. Display categories, user reviews, comments, and ratings. Customized orders, unique products, and integration with third party systems are all possible with CartThrob. You can sell classified ads, software, take donations, monetize your content, and even use your cart to give products away.
Payments and shipping
CartThrob has a plugin architecture which allows you to add payment gateways, and shipping options that work interchangably. CartThrob offers integrated credit card payment processing using common payment gateways including Authorize.net, Paypal Pro, Transaction Central and Sage! CartThrob can be used internationally, and will allow you to change payment processors on the fly, or provide your customers with multiple payment and shipping options.
Use only the features you need
Most carts have a zillion features out of the box, and most business don’t need or want all of those features. Many times those features look great, but they don’t work quite the way you wish they would. Like ExpressionEngine, CartThrob lets you build from an empty canvas, you pick and choose only the features you need.
Start from scratch and build a truly unique experience, or use CartThrob’s sample template to start selling in minutes.

Hooks Used
If the add-on is an extension, and ties into ExpressionEngine's core files, it will use ExpressionEngine hooks. We are listing any hooks the add-on uses for developers to have an easier time locating other add-ons that they can reference for their own work.

I didn’t mean to give this 4 stars – easy a 5 ***** add-on. By far the best Ecommerce Solution for EE – outstanding module and excellent and friendly support. Keep it up chaps!

By far the best addon for me and best support. Also the best and nicest developers :D

Hands down the most customizable shopping cart for EE. Would be a lot better if the sample templates were more fleshed out; that was my biggest complaint at first. Literally had to build a store from the ground up. The only real weakness is the shipping integration. Other than that, great cart!

A developer’s wet dream for e-commerce. Rather than spending my time digging through heaps of pre-installed markup, configuring XML files, and hunting down tidbits of crap and nonsense, I can write what I need from the ground-up.
CartThrob truly is e-commerce done the EE way.

By far the team at Barrett Newton offer the best support of any add-on devs out there. CartThrob is powerful and simple.

We use CartThrob for devot:ee’s add-on store. It was easy to implement and works very well.
CartThrob is by far the easiest commerce solution to implement on an EE-powered site and the developers are phenomenal people: fast with updates and very receptive to feedback.
Top notch all around.

I can’t say enough good things about CartThrob as a product and Barrett Newton as a company.
CartThrob makes it extremely easy to implement ecommerce into ExpressionEngine and allows developers to keep the “EE” mindset all along the way.
Furthermore they have the most amazing support team ever!
