Introduction

LiteCommerce 3 is an e-commerce solution that can work either as a stand-alone web application, or like a module to Drupal 7 (though connector modules installed in both Drupal and LiteCommerce).

LiteCommerce 3 is available free of charge and is distributed under the terms of the OSL 3.0 license.

In addition to the free core package, LiteCommerce users can extend its functionality and change its design by installing free and paid LiteCommerce modules developed by the LiteCommerce team or third-party developers.
