What iScripts does

iScripts is a private software company that develops open-source PHP/MySQL web software platforms and React Native companion mobile apps, providing turnkey solutions that enable startups, SMBs, and entrepreneurs to launch online businesses without building from scratch. Founded in 2006 with a US headquarters in Deerfield, Illinois and engineering operations in Kochi, India, the company has built a portfolio of 25+ products spanning multi-vendor e-commerce (MultiCart, MultiCart Enterprise), social networking (SocialWare), OTT video streaming (VisualCaster), P2P lending (SocialWallet), last-mile delivery (Locologic), web hosting automation (AutoHoster), restaurant ordering (NetMenus), on-demand services (UberforX), hotel reservations (ReserveLogic), and online design-to-print (PrintLogic), among others. Most products are offered as white-label, unencrypted source code with optional iOS/Android mobile apps and third-party integrations spanning payment gateways (PayPal, Authorize.net, 2Checkout, Braintree, WorldPay, Ogone, Moneybookers, GoogleCheckout, PayLeap, YourPay), credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion), DocuSign, Cloudinary, and eNom.

The business operates on a hybrid revenue model: primary revenue comes from one-time per-domain perpetual software licenses for the unencrypted source code, supplemented by recurring subscription revenue from iScripts Cloud hosted versions (14-day free trials), and ancillary professional services including customization, installation ($49.95), and dedicated development leveraging a 150+ engineering pool. The company sells primarily through self-service product-led growth (live demos, online purchasing) combined with direct sales, an affiliate program for webmasters, and reseller/implementation partner programs, targeting customers globally with disclosed primary operations in North America. Armia Systems serves as an implementation partner providing server management and DevOps support, and iScripts holds Amazon AWS Premium Consulting Partner status. The company claims 8,000+ paid downloads, 15+ years in business, and reports that its startup clients have collectively raised more than $30M.
