## Notes

CubeCart is an ecommerce platform written in PHP that a merchant runs on their own web server, with MySQL or MariaDB holding the store's data. The [installation guide](https://kb.cubecart.com/getting-started/installation/how-can-i-install-cubecart-v6) has the extracted package uploaded to the public HTML folder. The storefront and the admin area ship in the same package, and PHP handles each request, so no separate process runs beside the web server.

CubeCart Limited, registered in England and Wales, maintains the software. Its extensions directory lists free official extensions.

## Worth knowing

The README says Apache works with the included `.htaccess` file, while Nginx needs rewrite rules configured by hand.
