Overall Satisfaction with OpenCart
We have developed websites for different clients and all of them are on OpenCart as it is a multi-store compatible e-commerce platform. It is used by our technical team as well as the cataloging team for product management and order management.
- Easy setup and deployment.
- Follows MVCL structure which is easy to understand.
- It's a very buggy platform. Although OpenCart developers release new versions time to time after fixing bugs every version of OpenCart has a different type of bug.
- It should increase the security of the platform.
- At the time of starting a business, OpenCart helped us with easy setup and catalog management. We have stared and deployed e-commerce sites very easily.
- The websites didn't look good at first (we modified later) and that impacted our business as our clients received a lot of orders.
One advantage iOpenCart has is that it is easy to install and learn. But in all other cases (mainly in security) less buggy platforms should be used.
