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.

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.

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.

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.

I like it because it is a free software application and it is very friendly for installation both locally and on servers, it is fast and very intuitive for both the administrator user and the consumer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From version 3.0 onwards I see that the main configuration of the company is a bit complicated, it shows errors, it does not show me exactly where the error is, the previous versions if they are more comfortable for programs the rest taxes I have no problems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When an upgrade is available, you can't find his extension upgrade, and after the upgrade, you have to face so many bugs on the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OpenCart is free and open-source. It is customizable with various extensions that are usually very reasonable in cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OpenCart requires some level of expertise to get exactly where you want. Some integrations are limited or require additional costs for developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the way how opencart loads on every server. You can have a shared server or a VPS in either of these; the shopping cart loads super fast compared to another shopping cart out there. Another great solid thing is that we have access to all our raw files as the server backup all the data on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flexible e-commerce management software with all-powerful tools. Very straightforward for the User and developer too. You can develop a professional e-commerce website with basic PHP knowledge. If you do not have proper coding knowledge, you can also create an excellent website for your store by modifying a theme that suits OpenCart, and it will take only a few hours!
