This profile combines documented product information and independent evidence where available. It is not a hands-on test unless TechZella explicitly identifies one.

Overview

Cart66 was a WordPress ecommerce plugin and hosted service launched in 2008. It supported online sales for physical products, digital files, services, memberships, subscriptions, donations, and event registrations.

The product used WordPress for site content and storefront presentation. Cart66 Cloud handled sensitive commerce functions, including hosted checkout, customer data, recurring billing, and digital file delivery.

Cart66 is no longer offered as a new product. The official website states that Cart66 is retired and that WP EasyCart acquired the product for future WordPress ecommerce users.
