Most free e-commerce templates are abandoned toys or locked demos that fall apart the moment you add real products. Developers need an honest, working starting point they can read, modify, and actually ship.
The Solution
Online Shop Lite is a working storefront with nothing hidden: readable typed data files, a cart that behaves like real carts do, and an RTL sample included. Grow into Online Shop Pro when dashboard management becomes worth $15.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Lite and Pro?
Lite is free and open source with no admin panel - you manage products by editing data files. Pro adds a full admin panel for managing everything from a dashboard, licensed at $15.
How do I add my products?
Products live in a typed data file with name, price, image, and category. Edit the file and the catalog updates - perfect for learning and small catalogs.
Can I upgrade to Pro later?
Yes. Pro shares the same foundation, so moving up is straightforward when your store outgrows data-file management.
