Almost a year later review
Firstly, if you're looking to buy this make sure that you like it as is. There is almost no development taking place. To avoid getting ranty about my disappointment I'll just do a pro-con list.
Pros:
- Affordable long term
- site speeds are decent
- Nice to have Stripe direct integration rather then a proprietary payment system
- reseller marketplace can be useful to some
Cons:
- no email notifications when you receive an order
- order page is an absolute mess, only use LC if you're doing a POD store and never need to see order page
- they added Zapier integration, but it's mostly worthless 7 months later as you can't sync products, can only do newsletter sign ups and orders. That's it, nothing else for a whole ecom platform
- if you deactivate your store, you lose your appsumo credits for some reason.
- ZERO UI improvements in a year despite so many asking for them.
- can't reorganize variants
- Mostly only useful for POD sites. You'll just frustrate yourself trying to do anything else.
Please add bulk adding of products.

Jul 25, 2024Ouch... 1 star is pretty low considering we have kept adding features since our first release AND the fact that we're probably one of the only AppSumo companies to upgrade EVERYONE to a new and better plan without restrictions, unlimited plan features, and a better product. (usually companies go the other way and downgrade appsumo users).
*This means ALL appsumo customers are getting our "highest tier" available upgrade for FREE (feature wise). This means there is NO MORE restrictions on features. This also means there won't be anything to upgrade to for Launch Ecom users. You get it all. Show me another AppSumo company that has done this :)
With that said, let me address the other things.
Cons:
- no email notifications when you receive an order
+This is coming soon however anyone can enable this in your merchant provider settings.
- order page is an absolute mess, only use LC if you're doing a POD store and never need to see order page
+Not sure what your complaints are about the order page, it's very similar to Shopify and others BUT our users have the ability to customize the entire order page. Something you can't do hardly anywhere else.
- they added Zapier integration, but it's mostly worthless 7 months later as you can't sync products, can only do newsletter sign ups and orders. That's it, nothing else for a whole ecom platform
+We built this integration for what our users needed most and these are currently the most requested items. We will continue to improve this in the future.
- if you deactivate your store, you lose your appsumo credits for some reason.
+There's NO reason to deactivate a store. Instead you can "disable" a store and still keep the license, you can also change ANYTHING about a store at anytime. Licenses are tied to stores and that's how this integration works.
- ZERO UI improvements in a year despite so many asking for them.
+We're more interested in more feature integrations at this time. We've developed a lot and to be honest, UI, is a BIG overhaul that we rather wait on to include many more features for our users.
- can't reorganize variants
+This is not a highly requested feature as it's easy to add variants in the order you want when you first create them.
- Mostly only useful for POD sites. You'll just frustrate yourself trying to do anything else.
+We do focus on POD primarily however many of our users sell digital products and more.
Please add bulk adding of products.
+This is already in the works. We already added bulk "editing" recently...
