History

Back in 2001, a serial entrepreneur Ruslan Fazlyev and his friends saw online stores emerging around the world and, at the same time, the lack of tools for building them quickly and efficiently. They developed X-Cart as the first-in-market open source PHP eCommerce platform.

In 2009, Creative Technologies released a freemium eCommerce solution Ecwid, in addition to the X-Cart line, which became an independent eCommerce solution later on.[4][5]

In 2009, X-Cart launched its PCI Level 1 certified payment application, X-Payments, that is used for easier PCI DSS compliance by online retailers using X-Cart, Magento, WooCommerce, and Zoey.

In 2011, Runa Capital invested in X-Cart.

In 2013, X-Cart launched its own hosting infrastructure, allowing all X-Cart users to host their online stores on their servers.

In 2014, X-Cart released its new product, named X-Cart 5, that quickly gained popularity for its modern modular architecture. At the same time, X-Cart Classic, also known as X-Cart 4, continued to be developed and updated.[3] By September 2014 X-Cart Cloud was listed by SitePoint as one of the best hosted e-commerce platforms.[6] Among other features, X-Cart Cloud allows certified developers to add custom functionality to customers’ hosted shops.[3][7]

In 2017, X-Cart tech support and customer care teams expanded to offer 24/7 support for customers and businesses all over the globe.

In October 2019, the leading Amazon marketplace expert company.[8]

In 2020, X-Cart moved to offering full solutions for enterprise online stores and B2B companies.
