Admin panel feature also like very simple theme customization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

open cart theme code structure is not a good structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a mobile version that adapts your website so that it is navigated better with mobile devices. It is easy to manager and update information in the admin panel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some modules can be installed and require some modifications in the files that are in the admin and catalog folders. You have to understand the structure and the programming to install some modules which could be complex at some point if you are not very well acquainted with php programming Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Opencart for over 5 years and oh boy, i am glad i switched to Opencart, we can easily create extensions that support the growth of our business. At one stage, we had over 200 thousand products running on Opencart!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You literally need an army of extensions to enable the software function properly. Though i don't mind, it might be a turn off for certain people who don't have the patience to create extensions all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using this system for years now and I think it's a very solid CMS system to create ecommerce websites. It's super quick and easy to get up and running in no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Upgrading to newer version can be a pain especially a big upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that you can easily buy modifications from the marketplace for niche use case scenarios, and if not there are developers that are very knowledgeable of the product so custom functionality isn't a problem. You can also look for themes and they are usually accompanied by a setup/installation guide so if you're not a developer/designer, using this software is a real consideration.

I find that developing for the platform is a little cumbersome, though this is probably the worst thing about the product in all. Customisation for admin options aren't well documented for the developer community that I have seen, though there are some paid for solutions that blow open analytics and other tech wide open for you in the back end when it comes to looking at sales attribution and use studies of customers on your site.

Its Free, Being updated constantly, the community is huge!, many plugins available. I was able to develop it without any hassle and problems. The installation is straight forward. There are many themes out there for this eCommerce Platform. If you require paid support. Its available for the developer. The last version is improved further then the previous one.

bad installation documentation, not clear and precise info on error messages. I had many problem upgrading the opencart to the latest version. The upgrade information is not clear. I had to google many times and look for paid solution for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Open cart is easy to use, and the entire order process is smooth flowing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would have a few more upgrades, as open cart is not as advanced as some other ordering systems I have used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Opencart is 100% free open source software. Its really free. The framework is fast, stable, secure, and follows modern web development principles. It uses an MVC architecture on the backend, and has bootstrap and jQuery ready to go out of the box for the front end. Its extension marketplace allows users to expand functionality cheaply.

I often use it to develop non ecommerce applications simply because its so feature rich, it can speed development time greatly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Opencarts lack of documentation is a major barrier to adoption. As free open source software, the developers who do work on the project concentrate their time building features, not making documentation. When I began using it there was no training or educational materials available. I had to teach myself. I have personally created a Udemy training course to fit that market need, and have seen success with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how customization OpenCart is. There are hundreds of addons, and if there isn't one that suits your needs, you have full access to the script to make your own. It comes preloaded with lots of options and features. There are lots of free ones, and the paid addons aren't too expensive generally. It's easy to setup, only taking a few minutes to configure. Updates generally aren't too difficult (Though this does depend upon the number of addons you have). It's being actively developed as well. The scripts are being improved, and kept up to date on the latest web technology such as using Bootstrap 4. They think forward, to make sure that OpenCart stays relevant.

There are too many features at times, making the admin section of the site rather crowded at times. It's not easy to hide them either, without editing the html. The new template script is rather annoying now as well. It complicates things at times, instead of making things easier. Long developmental process can be difficult at times. More frequent updates would be nice, instead of yearly larger ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OpenCart is easy to use. It has a clear layout, easily identifiable and logical menus. It is a free download, and the add-ons are inexpensive, so it is good for small businesses and people who have multiple stores. It is easy to setup multiple users with different logins and rights, from full Admin to folks that can see invoices and information they need, without having rights to make changes anywhere on the store. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be glitchy at times. You make changes, and the next day it reverts back. Some features that are add-ons should be standard. I wish there were better reporting options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
