Cartless vs CartFlows
CartFlows is a funnel builder that runs on top of WooCommerce; Cartless is a checkout that does not need it. If you already run a Woo store, CartFlows is the natural fit and has the install base to prove it. If you sell one product and want no cart, no catalogue and nothing to hide, Cartless is the shorter path.
1 List prices by site count on the CartFlows pricing page; first-year discounts were displayed at the time, checked 2026-09-17. 2 200,000+ active installations, 4.8 stars from 507 reviews, and the line "CartFlows requires WordPress and WooCommerce to be installed on your site", checked 2026-09-17. Every competitor figure on this page carries a source and a date; the page does not build without them.
What each one is
CartFlows adds funnel steps — landing, checkout, upsell, thank-you — to a WooCommerce store, and replaces Woo’s checkout with its own. Everything under it is still WooCommerce: the products, the cart, the orders, the shipping zones. That is a strength when you have a store and a cost when you do not.
Cartless is the checkout itself. A product, a price, a funnel of real pages, an order bump, and — on Pro — a one-click upsell that charges the card already used. There is no cart page because a buyer choosing one thing never needed one.
Where Cartless is better
You sell one thing. A course, a kit, a subscription, a single physical product. No cart page for the buyer to get through, and no catalogue to configure before the first sale. Creating a funnel builds five wired pages and asks for nothing else.
The bump is free, with a number. Cartless’s order bump is in the free plugin, and Reports shows what it earned by margin — which part of the funnel actually pays. Nothing in the Woo stack knows what a bump is.
Nothing to hide. No Woo shop page, cart page or account page to suppress with CSS. The buyer sees your landing page, the checkout, and the thank-you page.
Where CartFlows is better
- You already run WooCommerce. CartFlows sits on your existing catalogue, orders and extensions; Cartless would be a second, separate store.
- An install base of 200,000+ sites and 507 reviews at 4.8 stars. Themes, tutorials and reviewers know it. Cartless is new, and the docs are where the help is.
- The Woo ecosystem. Payment gateways, shipping carriers, memberships — if you need a Woo extension, you need Woo, and then you want CartFlows.
Questions
Can I use CartFlows without WooCommerce?
No. CartFlows requires WordPress and WooCommerce to be installed, in its own words. That is the gap Cartless exists to fill.
Can I move a funnel from CartFlows to Cartless?
The pages, yes — they are ordinary WordPress pages either way. Products are re-entered or imported by CSV. Orders stay in Woo; Cartless does not import order history.
Do they work with the same page builders?
Cartless renders through blocks, Elementor widgets and shortcodes, and all three produce the same checkout. There is no Bricks adapter; a Bricks site uses the shortcodes.
