Your one stop shop for POD ecommerce
Friendly support who have been very helpful. It's just easy to setup. I had a new store connected to Printify with it's fist product available within half an hour and its also easy to setup your domain with it too.
PROSNative integration with Print on Demand services like Printify and Printful. This is what set Launch Cart apart for me. It is via API, but the fact that it's ready to go is great. Even the lower plans come with no limits on the number of products you can sell (compared to other ecommerce platforms). Even the free plan allows for 50 products!
CONSThere's only one small things I've noticed, I'd like the ability to allow customers to upload images when ordering (for personalised POD prducts). They do allow for text input which is great, but for my specific use case it would be great to allow image upload also. The support team have been great and I expect them to have this feature soon! Ive requested a blog writing feature also which hopefully will be added soon too.
Reason for choosing Launch Cart
I wanted POD integration and to have the ability to sell multiple products. Each other the competitor products cost a lot more once you start adding these things to the mix.
Reasons for switching to Launch Cart
Shopify is amazing, but it is expensive. Launch Cart gives me everything I need to setup and run stores without the large bills, this way I can experiment a bit more without having to invest much upfront.

Great Platform!
If you have a POD business or make and sell your own products this is a great platform! You will have to put the work in to get your shop out there and get your own customers but the fact that there is just one small fee per sale it's worth it.
PROSI love Launchcart! It's fairly user friendly interface. They only take one small fee per sale, there are no limits to what/how much you can have in your store. You can have as many stores as you wish and be able to switch between shops is awesome! They have an easy integration with POD as well.
CONSSince this platform is still being improved I don't have any complaints. They have a great communication with shop owners about upcoming new features etc.
Reasons for switching to Launch Cart
Those platforms will nickel and dime you to the poor house. Launchcart will not.

Still Buggy
Don't have much of an experience because it's not production ready yet.
PROSI lIke the pricing and the amount of products offered. The ability to allow visitors to personalize is a bonus.
CONSItems in the store are not updating. After contacting support it is said the issue will be resolved in 2 to 4 weeks. The issue is serious and preventing me from selling. Support also says it takes 24 hours for a response, but it took 2 days for them to tell me they can't do anything.

Scaled in a short amount of time
It's ready if you are!
PROSI took this platform and worked from zero to 250k in 90 days during the Presidential campaign with no monthly cost. With self taught tips from youtube and facebook, it wasn't hard at all. Compared to @amazon.com this is a great way to develop and scale your model with little upfront money commitment. I've also seen Launch Cart grow with me. It's powerful!
CONSNeed an email integration platform, which I hear is coming??? Mailchimp maybe?
Reason for choosing Launch Cart
More automation and less conflict with plug-ins.

Hi Kevin, thanks for your review! We do have MailChimp integration available! We're working hard here to bring about the best features we can onto our platform in order to best support our users' success on Launch Cart. The best is yet to come and the sky is the limit for Launch Cart and our users!

It's not perfect, but has potential to be.
I've been in e-commerce in one form or the other for over twenty years, building my first shop in a now-defunct PHP store. I have seen the ins and outs, and have learned and grown and learned some more. LC has a ways to go before they're competing with the likes of Shopify or Woocommerce. But they're well on their way. Particularly if they keep their system free, and build it to encourage entrepreneurs to sell more. I think they have a solid start, at the very least, and if they start implementing changes I mentioned in Cons (RSS, SEO, PayPal, Security), I think it would help a lot of people and alleviate fears. I'm a fan of Launch Cart. I already have two stores I'm building, and helping my son build one for himself. When they implement PayPal, that will blow open doors. It's not perfect. But it's expanding exponentially and will change the way I grow my business.
PROSFirst off, it's free. Which I'm a fan of. Well, they take 3% of each sale. BUT there are no out-of-pocket costs. Which is huge for a start-up. I love that they integrate with Printful really quickly and easily. You can add new products right from the Launch Cart dashboard, which is aces. I love that. Makes it 10x easier to build my storefronts. I like that they have some SEO fields that you can customize your SEO per product. Which, can be tedious. But I like the OPTIONS to do so. Their stores are mobile-friendly out of the gate. In this mobile-first webciety that's a pretty big deal. They're evolving, which is also pretty awesome. Shows that they're looking to grow. You can have multiple stores from the same dashboard, so you don't need to log into multiple storefronts to edit or add product. That's very awesome for someone who will probably build out 10 different niche sites. I don't want a separate login for each one.
CONSLack of security: While I love you can log into multiple stores from one login, I feel they need to implement some better security. 2FA/MFA at the very least should be implemented to protect the stores. Do NOT implement "are you a human" checkers as that's just annoying. But MFA, do it. The lack of PayPal has really halted me from going full bore. They integrate with Printful, which only uses PayPal. BUT LC only implements with Stripe. That's not very helpful for me! I'm told May 30, 2021 they should have this feature implemented to chose PayPal. If that's the case, then the sky is the limit on what I can do. SEO is still kind of limited. You can't really update too much of the store's SEO. Alt tags, meta headers, etc. Themes are limited. You have 7 basic-looking themes. I mean, it's an e-commerce shop, I get it. But would be nice to have a few more options. RSS is missing. Which, kind of nerfs some of the indexing of the site. Would be great to see an RSS feed of your products so you can push it to search engines for proper indexing, stick it in Google Search Console, and do some forward-thinking marketing and content tweaking. After all, for some people, the e-commerce world is their bread and butter. And, as I mentioned, I would love to build many niche stores. But, it gets hard when you've not really ranked well. RSS feed opens a huge extra door. And, in theory, should be easy to implement. No WordPress, Facebook Business, or Instagram Shops integration

PayPal has been integrated with Launch Cart as well as many other payment providers like NMI, OpenNode, and more coming soon. We've also added upsells, bump offers, drag n' drop funnel builders and more.

The Future is Here
I began with some questions I couldn't seem to answer on my own and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] man helped me out in a chat session and it was a breeze. Absolutely everything is a breeze. It is streamlined to be sites created with ease so we can work on our designs, products, etc, and not worry about all that backend stuff like Shopify. There are certain things we have to do but so much is just ready and waiting. Love it!
PROSLaunch Cart has given me the opportunity to begin my own brand site instead of having to use Etsy, Amazon, and eBay. I am in control, design the overall look of my site and what it does or what way everything is offered and I could not be more pleased. I have integration with Printful print-on-demand and can also use other POD platforms when I set it up to be able to relay new orders to a different provider. It's free. I use my own domain name. They have a Facebook group that's wonderful and an owner or administrator that listens, cares, and helps. There's nothing to not like about Launch Cart.
CONSI would like a larger home banner area but it really isn't that important. That's really it! They are always listening to us, adding new things, and empowering us...there are no cons in that.
Reason for choosing Launch Cart
Free, use my domain name free, did I mention free? It's easy and I need the time to design! I have a lot of work still to do and I have over 1000 designs I will use and more in the works and I don't feel pressured to scurry through it in error because I pay a huge monthly fee, because I do not. I can take my time, grow, and get there!
Reasons for switching to Launch Cart
Wix is expensive. Sure, loaded with great things but also overkill. Launch Cart is free for me, does really the same and my domain name just rolled on in! Additionally, I used and still use Amazon, Etsy, and eBay and will continue to until my site is a golden ticket and I no longer need them. I keep the money, not throw it at these platforms.

Simple easy ecom platform that got us launched in hours...not days!
The overall experience was a breeze to other platforms I have tried. Actually after using launch Cart I don see how a few other competitors can compete. Their platform is so simple and easy to use.
PROSI really liked the integration with print on demand and the product mock up builder. It allowed us to create a complete store with branded merch in hours not days! Their customer support is quick to respond and the Facebook support group is also active and helpful. But most importantly I LOVED the "design marketplace" where I could buy designs for a few dollars and have them for sale on my store in minutes!
CONSI was able to create my own custom products but I need some inventory management and some better reporting for tax purposes, which I was told are both being developed and are on their way.
Reason for choosing Launch Cart
Ease of use, SaaS hosting so I could add to my own domain and cost, the FREEmium model was perfect for us.
