MicroBiz vs. OpenCart

Suitable for small and mid sized retail businesses. Many features to automate operations (bar code scanning throughout application, auto generate POS based on mix/max, stock look-up). May not be ideal for large retail stores. Lacks integrations with ERP systems such as SAP or Oracle. Missing some specialty features such as serialized inventory.

OpenCart is best suited for business owners looking to sell their products online. Building an OpenCart website requires no or minimal coding knowledge. Being a self-hosted system, it is not recommended for people who have no hosting plan or have no experience in hosting websites so it would be better to go with another platform that is hosted elsewhere.

• Ring up transactions and take payments
• Manage inventory
• Management Reporting
• Discounts and promotions

• OpenCart is well suited in cases where our eCommerce web development clients want a very specific design with very specific shopping cart functionalities.
• OpenCart is very flexible in its native ability to work with a wide variety of payment processors and payment gateways.
• OpenCart makes it both fast and easy to setup and configure a new shopping cart website, especially if you use one of the pre-made templates.

• Missing a couple helpful features (such as a free loyalty program)
• The formatting on some screens is whacky and the font can be small
• It could be easier to email receipts (need to set this before the transaction)

• 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.

It was close but we just liked some of the features in microbiz better. Plus it was cheaper

Honestly, when consulting my clients, I would always recommend WooCommerce over OpenCart. Although I've had clients that had existing OpenCart websites and they were fairly happy with them, making additions/changes/customizations from a developer standpoint was not the easiest compared to other systems. For very large shops, I always recommend Magento over anything else.

• Really amazing value for the monthly fees. Less expensive than other serious cloud POS applications
• Synch with QBO allows us to save time manually entering financial data into our accounting system
• Bar code scanning in both the front end and back end saves time and money
