SureCart is a modern, headless e-commerce platform designed for WordPress, offering a high-performance solution for selling both digital and physical products, subscriptions, and courses. Its core purpose is to decouple the commerce engine (checkout, payments, fulfillment) from WordPress, hosting it on its own fast, dedicated infrastructure, which eliminates site speed issues often associated with traditional WordPress e-commerce plugins. It features a lightweight plugin for connecting the WordPress site to the cloud-based commerce platform, focusing on seamless integration, high conversions, and robust features like one-click upsells and a dedicated customer portal.

Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) is a focused, powerful e-commerce plugin designed specifically for selling digital products—such as software, e-books, subscriptions, and memberships—through WordPress. Unlike general e-commerce platforms, its core purpose is streamlined and optimized for digital goods, providing essential features like flexible payment gateways, purchase tracking, customer management, and licensing capabilities. EDD maintains a simple, lightweight structure that avoids the bloat associated with physical inventory management, making it the premier choice for creators and businesses whose sole focus is digital sales.
