How to sell products on Carrd in under an hour

Why Carrd + Shoprocket works

Carrd is a minimalist single-page website builder. That simplicity is the reason people love it. It's also the reason Carrd has no native e-commerce: adding a full store system would defeat the point of the tool.

That's where Shoprocket fits. Carrd does the landing page. Shoprocket does the commerce. One script tag on the Carrd page turns it into a working storefront with cart, checkout, and payment, without leaving the Carrd philosophy.

The three-step setup

1. You need Carrd Pro

The free Carrd plan doesn't allow embedded scripts or custom HTML. Carrd Pro is $19/year and unlocks the Embed element, which is what we need. One flat yearly fee, no per-site charges.

2. Paste the Shoprocket embed into a Carrd Embed element

In your Carrd editor, add an Embed element where you want products to appear. Paste:

<!-- EXAMPLE ONLY. Grab your real snippet from Sales channels → Embeds in your dashboard -->
<script src="https://cdn.shoprocket.io/loader.js" data-pk="pk_yourkey"></script>
<div data-shoprocket="catalog" data-embed-id="emb_xxx"></div>

Publish. That's it. Your Carrd page now has a full product catalogue with a slide-out cart, checkout, and 200+ payment methods available to buyers worldwide.

3. Configure your store in Shoprocket

In the Shoprocket dashboard:

• Add products (name, price, images, variants)
• Enable the payment methods you want (Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, crypto)
• Set shipping rules if you're sending physical goods
• Set up your tax rules if you're in a jurisdiction that requires it

Any change in Shoprocket updates everywhere the embed is placed, instantly. You don't re-publish Carrd.

What you get

• A real shopping cart on your Carrd page. Customers can add multiple items before checkout.
• Payment methods for anywhere your customers are: cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Klarna, crypto.
• Customer accounts and order history (optional, off by default).
• Automatic currency conversion for international buyers.
• 21 locales with AI auto-translation so non-English-speaking visitors see your store in their language.
• Full analytics on products viewed, added to cart, purchased.
• Zero platform transaction fees on every Shoprocket plan. Stripe and PayPal take their usual gateway cut; we take nothing on top.

Tip: If you're selling digital products, enable automatic file delivery in Shoprocket. Customers receive the download link in their order confirmation email. No manual fulfilment.

The honest cost

For a single-page Carrd site selling products:

• Carrd Pro: $19/year (unlocks the Embed element)
• Shoprocket: $29/month on the Starter plan, zero transaction fees
• Payment gateway fees: ~2.9% + 30¢ per successful payment (Stripe / PayPal standard rates)

Your all-in monthly cost is under $50, with no percentage taken by the platforms on top.

When Carrd + Shoprocket is a great fit

• Any catalogue size, as long as you only need one page (the embed handles search, filters, pagination, variants)
• Single-product landing pages (course, ebook, music release, one-off product drop)
• Creator portfolios selling products alongside main content
• Pre-launch pages taking orders before you commit to a full website
• Fast-moving campaigns where you need a storefront live in under an hour

When to consider something else

Carrd + Shoprocket handles the commerce side fine at any catalogue size. The embed brings its own search, filters, pagination, product detail pages, variants, quantity selectors, and cart. A single-page Carrd site with our widget can run a real storefront with hundreds of SKUs.

Where Carrd starts fighting you is other pages. Carrd is genuinely single-page. If you want a separate About page, FAQ, shipping policy, support docs, or a content blog alongside your store, that's when you outgrow the builder, regardless of how you handle commerce.

At that point, move to a multi-page builder like Webflow or a CMS like WordPress, and paste the same Shoprocket embed on whichever page you want products to appear.

TL;DR

• Carrd Pro ($19/yr) + Shoprocket Starter ($29/mo) = working storefront on a single-page site in under an hour
• Paste one script into a Carrd Embed element, configure products in Shoprocket, done
• Zero transaction fees, 21 locales, all major payment methods
• Best for single-product or small-catalogue creators; outgrow it if you have 50+ SKUs
