Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
The nopCommerce platform has been the foundation for B2C and B2B solutions we've developed for our clients over the past 8 years. Their highly extensible plugin architecture has stood the test of time, and continues to evolve on the latest Microsoft tech stack. As a digital agency we design and develop solutions for a broad range of vertical markets. This requires an ecommerce platform that can easily adapt to different types of product catalogs, checkout workflows, and CRM and ERP integrations. nopCommerce provides a solution that allows us to tailor each system to the exact needs of our client. The open-source nature of the code base is reassuring to regulated industries that require full transparency.
- The nopCommerce team has created a platform that can be extended to solve a broad range of ecommerce needs. Rather than trying to force a client's business requirements to adapt to the solution, the solution can be customized to meet their goals. We are able to do this in a way that still allows upgrades in the future!
- The nopCommerce platform roadmap is heavily based on feedback from the development community and from customers. They actively engage developers and end-users in discussions regarding new features and technology.
- Frequent releases on the latest, supported, Microsoft .NET framework.
- The nopCommerce team has created a very active developer support community.
- A plugin & theme marketplace for off-the-shelf customizations.
- The nopCommerce team has been consistent at providing frequent release updates. Third-party plugins require upgrading when a new release is launched. Some plugin vendors lag behind by a few weeks which can cause delays if you need to leverage new functionality right away. The good news is that many plugin vendors offer an option to purchase source code so that you can do the upgrade yourself, if needed right away.
- CMS functionality is very basic if you want to manage a lot of robust content pages. We solve this with an in-house plugin that we developed to extend this functionality.
We use nopCommerce for our website as well as our whole company runs on a business where we implement nopCommerce solutions for our customers around the globe.
NopCommerce is the best 100% open-source eCommerce platform in ASP.net MVC Core and we use it to provide customized eCommerce solutions to our customers.

NopCommerce SEO, CMS, Cart, The perfect Combination.
We are currently using nopCommerce for its cart and coupon functionality. It is a very robust and supported platform that saved us from trying to reinvent the wheel. We have some basic needs to offer products and services for sale with the ability to offer specials and coupons. One would think this would be more widely available on the market, but it just isn't, which is why we chose this solution.
- Simple setup and install
- Easy to integrate most merchant services with
- Robust couponing engine
- More community templates would be great.
- Some of the pricing can be a bit tricky, especially configured items... there is a likelihood of mispriced items with the current structure

Solid ecommerce platform
We use nopCommerce as our ecommerce platform. It is used by the IT/web team and the marketing team. It made it much easier to update and add products to the site compared to our previous platform which was built in house.
- Customizable themes
- Easily create category pages
- Documentation is lackluster
- Settings and configurations can be difficult to understand and set up, especially for marketers or people without a strong tech/IT background

nopCommerce - the outsider
As a business analyst, I am responsible for a team that implements nopCommerce.
- Customization: settings, plugins and open-source
- Up to date
- User-friendly interface and administration
- Growing community
- Exhaustive documentation
- First load speed
- Lack of reporting
nopCommerce is used as a base e-Commerce framework for one of my clients to implement and online e-Commerce portal (http://www.luxegourmets.com). I'm a technical lead responsible for implementing the whole e-Commerce portal. All features that come with nopCommerce are industry standard and we're using all the features. We're using the nopCommerce framework for a public facing B2C e-Commerce portal. Because nopCommerce is an open sourced framework, we're also able to make modifications and additional enhancements according to our business needs.
- As I came from Microsoft .Net technical experience with more than 15 years in IT industry, the nopCommerce .Net based open sourced framework is the best eCommerce framework in terms of architectural perspective - such as incorporating with Entity Framework code first approach, Domain Driven Architecture, using ASP.Net MVC, Unit Testing, ...etc.
- When my client asked for an eCommerce portal, the whole team was struggling from designing a database to identifying the requirements. nopCommerce has everything we need. All the industrial standard eCommerce features are included. It saves hours of database design, application design and also the client's requirements are easily fit into nopCommerce's features.
- The cost of nopCommerce- the last time we paid was a $200 one time cost for using the production site. It was ridiculously cost effective. As it is opened source, the whole community is supporting and constantly making this framework better and better.
- I set up a web site within a week using nopCommerce to sell my own products online. It was so easy to use, deploy, and set up.
- nopCommerce is for .Net, MVC and EntityFramework technical engineers if you want to make some modifications and add your own enhancements. Therefore, it is the best for a Windows server infrastructure environment. This is not PHP or JAVA. This is all Microsoft and .Net.
- The version I'm using is nopCommerce 3.40. Current version is 3.80. There are a few features that are not available out of the box; such as incorporating different tracking number for multiple shipments, splitting order and payment into multiple shipments at the checkout page.
- nopCommerce is the best for small and medium size business (SME). It will not able to handle incoming traffic like Amazon or Alibaba in terms of performance.
