HIGH-PERFORMANCE ECOMMERCE HOSTING SOLUTIONS
What Is Loaded Commerce?
Loaded Commerce is a PHP-based open-source shopping cart that evolved from the osCommerce engine, one of the original eCommerce platforms. Its open-source nature means you own your store completely: the code, the data, and the design. You're not locked into a monthly platform fee or limited by what a closed platform allows you to do.
The platform is built with a Bootstrap 3 framework, which means it's mobile-responsive right out of the box. Whether a customer finds your store on a phone, tablet, or desktop, they'll get a smooth shopping experience. And because Loaded Commerce is self-hosted, your hosting provider's speed and reliability directly shape how fast your store loads and how smoothly it runs.
Install Loaded Commerce with HostPapa in one click, you’ll get a Free SSL certificate and the backing of our expert support team whenever you need a hand.
GROW YOUR ONLINE STORE THE RIGHT WAY

What is Loaded Commerce, and who is it for?
Loaded Commerce is a free, open-source eCommerce platform built on PHP and MySQL. It's designed for small-to-mid-size online stores that want full control over their store without paying monthly platform fees. It's a great fit for merchants who want to self-host their store and customize it freely.
What PHP version does Loaded Commerce need?
Loaded Commerce is a PHP-based application. All HostPapa Web Hosting plans run current, stable versions of PHP, and you can select your PHP version directly from cPanel to match Loaded Commerce's requirements. Our support team can help you confirm the right setup.
Can I install Loaded Commerce with one click on HostPapa?
Yes. All HostPapa Web Hosting plans include Softaculous, an application installer that lets you install Loaded Commerce in just a few clicks, no manual file uploads or database setup required.
How many products can I list in a Loaded Commerce store?
Loaded Commerce doesn't place a limit on the number of products or categories you can create. Your storage plan determines how much disk space you have for product images and files.
Which HostPapa plan is best for a growing Loaded Commerce store?
The Growth plan is the sweet spot for most active stores: 100 GB of NVMe storage, support for up to 5 websites, and all the core features included. If you run a high-traffic store or sell a large catalog with many high-resolution images, the Premium or Elite plan gives you more room to grow.
Does Loaded Commerce support digital downloads?
Yes. Loaded Commerce includes built-in file distribution management, so you can sell digital products like software, media, or documents alongside physical goods.
Can I migrate my existing Loaded Commerce store to HostPapa for free?
Yes. Our free website migration service covers Loaded Commerce stores. Our team handles the entire process, including files, databases, and configurations.
Is Loaded Commerce secure for taking payments?
Loaded Commerce supports multiple payment gateways, and combined with HostPapa's free SSL certificate and server-level security tools (CloudLinux, Imunify360, Protection Power), your customers' payment data is protected. An SSL certificate is required by payment processors like PayPal and Stripe, and we include it at no extra cost.
What's the difference between Loaded Commerce Community Edition and the Pro version?
The Community Edition (CE) is completely free and open-source, covering the core store features most merchants need. The Pro and B2B versions from the Loaded Commerce team add advanced features like B2B pricing, enhanced analytics, and extended order management tools.
Do I need to know how to code to run a Loaded Commerce store?
You don't need coding skills to set up and run a Loaded Commerce store for day-to-day operations. Installing via Softaculous, adding products, managing orders, and handling customers are all done through the admin panel without touching code. If you want to customize themes or add custom functionality, some PHP knowledge helps, or you can hire a developer.
