Owner and marketing specialist Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/20/2022 "Low cost system that is easy to use with lots of functions & modules avaliable" 5/5 What do you like best about OpenCart? After trying several e-commerce systems, we landed on OpenCart. Magento, Nopcommerce Woocommerce quickly would become way to expensive to use and maintain. With OpenCart, we were able to keep the cost low, do everything ourselves without having a programming background. We integrated our store with our accounting system, Facebook, Google Merchant Center, Trustpilot, NitroPack, and Mailchimp with ease. Optimizing speed for SEO was much less work than expected and scoring 80-100 points on mobile all over and 95-100 on desktop all over. Hosting was easy through a2hosting with a shared setup which we can scale up to dedicated when needed. Since OpenCart is light on server usage, we won`t need this until we have 50-100 active users on the site, and even then, a dedicated server is not expensive. All in all, without any programming background, we were able to set up a fully functional store with so many modules and functions that woulld be near impossible to get with any other platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenCart? Hoping that in the future that inventory value, average value, restock system would be more widely avaliable. We bought an extra module that only cost 29$, but it`s not an optimal solution but functional. A better WYSIWYG would also improve product descriptions, but it`s better than most other e-commerce systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenCart: If you`re looking for an e-commerce platform that is easy to use compared to other solutions, this is it. After working with different platforms for 15 years, OpenCart is the most user-friendly system available. OpenCart is suitable for big and small businesses. From experience, e-commerce systems are expensive to maintain, OpenCart is cost-efficient, reliable, and scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenCart solving and how is that benefiting you? For ease of use, we needed a system that someone without any fundamental knowledge could use, which is scalable for growth. We already see a significant boost in sales and a healthy development of our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very happy to have switched from Magento & Oscommerce" 5/5 What do you like best about OpenCart? No need for extensions as it works straight out of the box. (not like Magento). So far I havent purchased any extensions and my ecommerce store works great. However if you need extensions many of them come less than $20 and the support system of extensions is excellent. Just so happy I found Opencart and love the interface. The support on forums is awesome too. I would give 5 stars to Opencart as I ve used many open source platforms and OPENCART STANDS OUT Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenCart? Wish the forums has less arguments between users and some users are biased to not help users and only out to sell extensions. Lets have a protocol in place to not put people down and not force users to buy extensions for an easy solution which exists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenCart solving and how is that benefiting you? Absolutely NOTHING. Minor fixes. As expected for any open source, its not easy to build such a huge platform. OPENCART is quite SEAMLESS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sales Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/2/2021 "Opencart e-commerce shopping cart" 5/5 What do you like best about OpenCart? I love the way how opencart loads on every server.
