Litekart ecommerce, $1.1K a month, self-reported in 2023, 1,800+ GitHub stars

Litekart is open-source ecommerce software for developers, brands, agencies and businesses building custom commerce applications. Its $1.1K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of January 2023.

What it actually sells

Litekart is open-source, self-hosted ecommerce software with a Go backend and SvelteKit storefront. The site says: “Complete commerce applications — marketplaces, B2B systems, dealer networks, and multi-tenant platforms — on a Go and SvelteKit stack they fully own.”

How it charges

The pages we read do not state a price. Litekart is open-source and can be downloaded and self-hosted. Its Go backend and SvelteKit storefront are documented, with Docker deployment listed among the setup options.

Where customers come from

The site points people to public GitHub repositories, community support through GitHub issues and documentation. It also provides browseable API documentation for developers evaluating the software.

What stands out

Litekart has 1,800+ GitHub stars, and its site reports delivery of 800+ projects. It reports 99.9% production uptime.

From the official site

Complete commerce applications — marketplaces, B2B systems, dealer networks, and multi-tenant platforms — on a Go and SvelteKit stack they fully own.

Multi-vendor marketplaces, multiple storefronts, B2B accounts and multi-tenant SaaS — all on the same foundation, without replatforming.

Where it sits in the data

Litekart's $1.1K a month is higher than 44% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, this needs real work. Demand comes from developers, brands, agencies and businesses that need custom commerce applications, including marketplaces, B2B portals, dealer networks and multi-tenant platforms. Distribution would have to reach technical buyers through useful documentation, public code, community support and integrations.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

Litekart packages a Go backend, SvelteKit storefront, admin panel, documented APIs, events, webhooks and Docker deployment into one downloadable product covering several forms of commerce.
