AG Andrew G. Webmaster Medical Devices Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/7/2016 "A Great Ecommerce Platform" 5/5 What do you like best about OpenCart? Opencart is a great platform with a simple to use and intuitive admin dashboard. The platform allows you build it out to anything you want because it is an open source platform. There are thousands of free and paid plugins available that can be added to the platform to make it what you need. The code is easy to follow and understand so modifying themes and creating new ones couldn't be easier. You can have a fully functional eCommerce solution running in no time without having to code once from scratch. The Opencart community is great and helping to make Opencart a safe and widely used open source platform for all businesses to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenCart? The only thing I "dislike" about Opencart is that I wish there were more built in features when it comes to having inventory for different colors and size parings. It is a common request and there are ways around it but they aren't as clean. When you take in the admin dashboard and the ease of use, this "dislike" doesn't seem too bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenCart: Opencart is a GREAT eCommerce platform with a very easy to use dashboard. It is great for businesses of all sizes looking to sell online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenCart solving and how is that benefiting you? The biggest problem I am able to solve with opencart is making services and products available for purchase 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VP Vytenis (WeTennis) P. Chief Executive Officer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/23/2015 "Easy to get in eCommerce platform" 4/5 What do you like best about OpenCart? Easy to follow code structure. A big community and huge amount of modules. With 2.0 release I`m looking forward to the hooks. The easiness of doing custom templating and tweaking for the end client is one of the main reasons we use OC on the smaller products. Also it is quite easy to take over someones else work (who are in software development will understand what I mean:). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenCart? Daniels (the owner/lead dev) approach sometimes is stubborn (therefore not all the good development ideas are being implemented). With the move from 1.5 to 2.0 quite many old modules are not compatible. Also currently there is a mess between the OcMod, vQmod - ways how to make changes to the files (core files f.e.) without actually rewriting the code and loosing the future upgrades. Performance for bigger shops (we have with 40k + SKUs) needs extra work (but not so much). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenCart solving and how is that benefiting you? Using OpenCart we delivered ~20 eCommerce solutions from really custom few products shops to big scale (40k SKU) projects. For bigger projects (100k SKUs and more) we write custom solutions. Using OpenCart it is easy to include a new junior developer in all the processes. Also it is a great learning environment to understand MVC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Professor Civil Engineering Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/22/2015 "An excellent tool for small and medium business e-commerce" 4/5 What do you like best about OpenCart? Opencart is a very simple tool to use, ideal for small and medium projects. Its main feature is the multi-store that can have several channels on the same instalation, this allows organically grow companies that manage multiple brands. We have implemented solutions with 10 simultaneous channels and works biem. Another important feature that stands out in OpenCart is simplicity for extend its core through PHP. It has a very simple development pattern (MVC) and pretty neat that allows developers to incorporate a new project quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenCart? Your data model for managing product options is not good. Moreover your data model is not well designed for enterprise solutions.

OpenCart is fairly simple to use and still doesn't lack most of the features other platforms have. For me, it was this balance of simplicity and functionality that made me choose OpenCart in the first place and now even keep it when upgrading my main site just a couple of months ago. Additionaly, OpenCart has decent themes and plugins built for it and is also easily customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenCart? It feels like OpenCart used to be more popular and nowadays many of the plugins are outdated. Also main OpenCart web site looks really old and doesn't help it's popularity. Code is not a disaster but customization and plugin building should be even more simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenCart: OpenCart is a well balanced e-commerce platform with lots of functions yet still great ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenCart solving and how is that benefiting you? I have an e-commerce web site in Slovakia. I had to create some of my own plugins and customize OpenCart to fit my needs (i.e. connection to local postal company). However none of this was a huge problem and I have even managed to release some of my work and Open Source plugins. I intend to do more work like this when doing further improvements.

You have full control over orders. There are many ready Themes which are sold or are free with good design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenCart? One of the additions that we need pricing or anything else always paid. Not like modules are always paid. In most other online stores are free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The limited availability of themes and some key functionalities such as SEO management and additional security features (2 step authentication factor for example) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenCart: OpenCart is easier compared to other platforms such as Magento or ZendCart, but requires some efforts to configure it and make it as strong and powerful as those ones.

Software Development Engineer II Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/7/2016 "Integration of payment gateway in Opencart" 4/5 What do you like best about OpenCart? Integrating a payment gateway is easy. Also, Opencart-2.0.3.1 is much user friendly comparing to previous version. Creating an online store is much easier. There are several opencart plugins available according to the requirement. I have created my own payment gateway plugin and it is easy to install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenCart? Upgrading Opencart v1.5 to v2.0 involves lot of code changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenCart solving and how is that benefiting you?

Freelance Senior Graphic Designer Graphic Design Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/8/2016 "One of the best open source e commerce systems" 5/5 What do you like best about OpenCart? The ease of use and configuration. You can set a site up in a few hrs and begin selling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenCart? The extension integration. It can get kind of wacky if you don't have some kind of support to fix it. Needs to be upgraded or integrate a plug in system like Wordpress uses and it would be perfect. And also the theming needs a built in theming system. Long overdue. Integrating themes could also be a problem to integrate even when trying to use frameworks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenCart: Try it. If you need a great e commerce solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenCart solving and how is that benefiting you? Getting my products out to the public.
