Founded in April 2026, Trellis Group LLC was built on a simple but often overlooked idea: eCommerce software should work for the store owner, not against them.
From day one, our mission has been to develop tools that are powerful, flexible, and truly accessible. The result is our flagship platform, TrellisCart—an open-source eCommerce system released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) and made free to use.
Built for Store Owners, Not Just Developers
Too many platforms are designed with limitations that force businesses into rigid systems, expensive upgrades, or closed ecosystems. Trellis Group LLC takes a different approach.
We believe:
- Store owners should have control over their platform
- Features should reflect real-world business needs
- Software should evolve based on user feedback, not corporate agendas
TrellisCart is designed from the ground up to listen to the people actually using it.
Open Source. No Barriers.
By releasing TrellisCart under the GPL, we ensure that:
- The software remains free and open
- Users can modify and customize it without restriction
- Developers can contribute, extend, and improve the platform
No licensing traps. No hidden restrictions. Just software you can trust and build on.
Built for Flexibility and Growth
TrellisCart is engineered to grow with your business. Whether you are just starting out or scaling operations, the platform is designed to adapt.
Key priorities include:
- Simple, reliable upgrades without breaking your store
- A robust plugin system for expanding functionality
- The ability for developers to create their own custom plugins
- Clean, structured architecture that supports long-term scalability
A Platform That Listens
At Trellis Group LLC, development is not done in a vacuum. We actively focus on what store owners need most:
- Practical features that solve real problems
- Streamlined workflows that save time
- Stability and security you can rely on
We are committed to building a platform that continually improves based on real feedback, not assumptions.
Our Commitment
Trellis Group LLC is committed to:
- Transparency in development
- Freedom through open-source licensing
- Usability for both beginners and advanced users
- Reliability for businesses that depend on their store every day
Looking Forward
This is just the beginning. Trellis Group LLC is focused on creating an ecosystem where store owners, developers, and businesses can build, customize, and grow without limits.
TrellisCart is more than just software.
It is a foundation designed to support your business on your terms.
