Beautiful & Powerful eCommerce With LemonStand

Over the past two years, the LemonStand shopping cart has developed into a sleek and powerful solution for a wide range of eCommerce needs. Whether you are selling t-shirts with simple size variations or a built-to-order computer system, LemonStand has the flexibility to adapt to your specific product catalog needs.

For a typical online store owner, product and inventory management couldn’t be easier or more flexible. Import products via a CSV file (including product images!), offer physical and digital products, create unlimited categories and subcategories to organize your wares – then easily promote new products, sales and specials with seamless integration to popular email blast applications.

When it comes to discounts, sales and promotions, LemonStand covers an incredible range of options, from free shipping or quantity discounts to bundled product groups, to help you engage new customers and keep current buyers loyal. You’ll find it simple to move discontinued products by creating attractive packages and promotions, and just as easy to offer the latest and greatest products at introductory discounts.

Search engine optimization is a core feature of LemonStand’s technology, offering Google Analytics integration, auto-generated site maps, meta tags and descriptions on the product and category level, custom product landing pages and highly-indexable store URLs.

Recently added features include more theme flexibility in the design of your site and browser-detection to deliver an optimized site theme to mobile devices. LemonStand Marketplace modules allow you to further extend the functionality and features of the system.

Module options include:

  • USPS Click-n-Ship for simplifying the process of printing shipping labels
  • Gift certificates for enabling online store credit
  • Connections to email marketing services, like Campaign Monitor and MailChimp
