I've worked with OpenCart a number of times fixing issues for clients with existing websites using OpenCart. The businesses using OpenCart were all e-commerce websites with various types of products for sale.

  • OpenCart is open-source software, free to use. Free is always a plus for software.
  • Good basic set of features that provides for a quick setup of a simple e-commerce website.
  • Administration is fairly user-friendly and makes it easy for a non-technical user to find things.
  • Many of the extensions available have some serious security issues.
  • Extending OpenCart with the various extensions available, can actually start to add up, and I found many extensions were no longer being supported by their developers.
  • Serious limitations for larger shops, and outdated themes/templates.
For smaller, simple, basic online shops, OpenCart can be decent enough software to run if you carefully choose secure extensions to use with it. But for larger or very customized shops, there are much better options. You will need to do some work to create a good modern looking theme/template for OpenCart, so keep that in mind.

  • Hard to update it to new versions, and it is constantly updating
  • Though it is smooth to use, it works on a read-edit-delete system. Deleting data is very critical.
OpenCart is well suited for multiple client e-commerce website building, with unlimited categories for products. It's not suited for data management, very large queries that take a lot of time to load, and those who lack the developer skills to administer OpenCart.

  • Return and cancellation modules are very buggy.
OpenCart is very well developed now with every new release. You can purchase any module according to your needs and it is available in market. Since it is open source you can build your own module and contribute to the OpenCart forum. It is fast and friendly usable, has an easily understandable Admin Panel, you can customize your homepage, and you can engage users easily.

  • Features : Reporting, Product, category uploading , Multi language support, SEO
  • SQL queries are very heavy.
  • Limited customer support
  • Add-ons often necessary, which you need to purchase, and they are costly.
To use OpenCart, you need to know basic programming. Opencart is an open-source platform where you can easily customize your code according to your needs. The OpenCart community is very large so your doubts and requirements will be fulfilled easily. It is sometime necessary to use open-source code to build a website, rather than building it from scratch. It saves time and money. You can purchase any module you want from the OpenCart Forum.

I recommend OpenCart to my clients looking for a simple shopping cart system. It's only being used by small businesses. It has very limited functions compared to Magento.
  • Ease of use
  • Simple to implement/design
  • All in one system
  • Easier to develop through FTP
  • More features out of the box
  • Be able to customize a lot easier
Its well suited for small businesses with only a few people managing the website. In corporations, I see it having limitations.
