What Cart-Power does

Cart-Power is a CS-Cart-specialist e-commerce agency and product company, operating as Cart-Power LLP in London with delivery operations in Ulyanovsk, Russia. Founded in 2013 and recognized since 2014 as a CS-Cart Gold Partner, Authorized Reseller, and Recommended Integrator, the firm has built its entire service and product portfolio around the CS-Cart and CS-Cart Multi-Vendor platforms, with cumulative scale claims of 500+ projects, 5,000+ custom improvements, and customers across 35+ countries.

The company runs a hybrid professional-services and SaaS model. Professional services span complex solutions (marketplace, online store, and project development), development and optimization (functionality, integration, migration, upgrade, speed optimization, mobile apps, AI integration), audit and promotion (SEO and usability), design, technical support, and dedicated development teams billed at $50-$60 per hour under fixed-price or time-and-materials engagements. Recurring-revenue products include PowerApp (a native iOS/Android mobile-commerce app with Base/Multi-Vendor/Premium tiers at $295/$395/$545 per month plus lifetime licenses), Smart Search (an Elasticsearch-backed search add-on tiered $35-$145 per month with self-hosted perpetual options), a 20+ SKU add-ons store, and Premium Support subscriptions up to $3,000 per year. In January 2026, the firm expanded into AI-for-e-commerce capabilities covering SEO generation, product listing optimization, NLP search, shopping assistant, and computer-vision image tools.

Cart-Power serves a long-tail of e-commerce operators from SMBs through enterprises across verticals including wholesale, FMCG, dental, medical, events, rental, apparel, flowers, tourism, and confectionery. Its go-to-market is sales-led, anchored by dedicated project managers, content marketing and SEO through its blog and case studies, and self-service product sales via its own e-commerce storefront. Customer concentration is low, with no single named logo representing a dominant share of revenue, and the company's growth strategy emphasizes converting prior custom development work into repeatable subscription products rather than scaling headcount.

Scale indicators13 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Wix:
• Shopify: Shopify is the largest e-commerce platform globally with a massive partner/agency ecosystem. Cart-Power's potential customers may choose Shopify over CS-Cart, making Shopify a competing incumbent in the e-commerce platform space that indirectly shapes Cart-Power's addressable market.
• BigCommerce: BigCommerce is a leading SaaS e-commerce platform serving mid-market and enterprise merchants. It competes with CS-Cart for the same customer segment and offers an extensive partner program that mirrors Cart-Power's agency model.
• Adobe Commerce (Magento): Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento) is a major enterprise e-commerce platform with deep customization needs. Cart-Power's complex marketplace builds target a similar enterprise customer profile that Adobe Commerce also serves.
• Salesforce Commerce Cloud: Salesforce Commerce Cloud is an enterprise-grade e-commerce platform. While it competes more on enterprise B2C and B2B, it serves the broader e-commerce platform market that Cart-Power's enterprise customers evaluate when choosing their technology stack.

Others

• Simtech Development: Simtech is the parent company and developer of the CS-Cart platform itself. While not a direct competitor in agency services, Simtech sets platform direction, offers its own professional services, and could compete with Cart-Power on CS-Cart implementations for the same customer base.
