## What it is
expressCart is a fully functional, self-hosted Node.js shopping cart application built on Express, with an admin panel and support for many payment providers including Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, Adyen, and Blockonomics. It ships as a complete e-commerce storefront you can deploy and customize rather than a library to embed.

## Use cases
- set up a self-hosted online store with a shopping cart
- accept Stripe and PayPal payments on a Node.js site
- run a small e-commerce site with an admin panel
- sell digital or physical products without a hosted platform
- accept cryptocurrency payments via Blockonomics

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, self-hosted Node.js storefront you fully control
- you need multiple payment gateway options out of the box
- you prefer a simple MIT-licensed cart over heavyweight e-commerce platforms

## When to avoid
- you need a large ecosystem of plugins, themes, and community support
- you require multi-vendor marketplace or advanced inventory features
- you want a platform with frequent recent releases and active maintenance
