AN OPEN ECOMMERCE PLATFORM
What Is TomatoCart?
TomatoCart is a Free, open-source eCommerce platform built on the foundations of osCommerce, one of the original online shopping cart systems.
It replaces the traditional store admin with a desktop-style interface powered by ExtJS, making product and order management feel more like working in an app than a web page.
TomatoCart suits small to mid-size store owners who want a self-hosted, customizable shopping cart without a monthly software fee. It has been downloaded and used by over 64,000 members across 50+ countries.

TomatoCart System Requirements
TomatoCart is designed to be lightweight and runs comfortably on shared hosting environments. You don’t need a dedicated server or specialized server configurations to get started.
- PHP: Version 5.3+ (with MySQLi extension) is required; 7.x is recommended.
- MySQL: Version 5.0.7+ is required; the latest stable 5.x release is recommended.
- Web Server: Apache 2.x (with mod_mysql, mod_xml, and mod_zlib) is required; Apache 2.4+ is recommended.
- Memory Limit: A minimum of 64MB is required; 128MB or more is recommended for optimal performance.
- Operating System: Compatible with both Linux and Windows, though Linux is the recommended host OS.
Payment Gateway Compatibility
TomatoCart supports a wide range of payment modules that you can install directly from the admin panel. Some of the most commonly used payment options include:
- PayPal: One of the most widely recognized payment options globally, with both standard and express checkout modules available for TomatoCart.
- Stripe: Accepts credit and debit card payments directly on your store, with a clean checkout experience.
- 2Checkout (now Verifone): A popular international payment gateway with a dedicated TomatoCart module.
- eWAY: A major gateway for Australian merchants, with a TomatoCart integration guide available from eWAY directly.
- Authorize.Net: A widely used gateway in North America, available as a TomatoCart payment module.
- Bank Transfer & Cash on Delivery: Built-in options that don't require a third-party gateway.
Most payment gateways provide their own TomatoCart installation instructions. If you need help setting one up on your HostPapa account, the PapaSquad can point you in the right direction.

All your questions in one place! Whether it’s helping you choose a domain name, walking you through our website builder, or configuring your cloud email system for your business, we’re here to help!
Still have questions?
Click below and directly reach one of our awesome support people.
Ιs TomatoCart free to use?
TomatoCart is free to download and use. You pay for your web hosting, your domain name, and any premium extensions you choose to add, but the TomatoCart software itself has no licensing fee.
Can I install TomatoCart automatically, or do I need technical skills?
You can install TomatoCart with one click using the Softaculous installer inside cPanel on every HostPapa Web Hosting plan. Softaculous creates the database, uploads the files, and configures TomatoCart for you. You don't need any coding or server knowledge to do this. Softaculous handles everything through a graphical user interface.
Does HostPapa support the PHP version TomatoCart needs?
Yes. HostPapa's servers support PHP 5.3+ and PHP 7.x, and MySQL 5.x, which covers TomatoCart's requirements. You can select your PHP version inside cPanel. We recommend PHP 7.x for better performance and security.
Will my TomatoCart store be secure enough to accept payments?
Every HostPapa plan includes a Free SSL certificate, which encrypts customer data and is required by payment processors. Higher-tier plans also include a Web Application Firewall and malware scanning for additional protection. Additional security is offered via our Protection Power plans offering malware removal assistance in case of emergency.
Can I move my existing TomatoCart store to HostPapa?
Yes. HostPapa's Free white-glove migration service covers your TomatoCart files, database, domain configuration, and email. Your store stays live throughout the process, and there are no fees for the migration.
What happens if my store grows and I need more resources?
You can upgrade from our web hosting to VPS Hosting or Dedicated Server Hosting at any time. HostPapa's PapaSquad team handles the migration to your new plan. Your store files and database move with you.
