OpenCart Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our e-commerce website is built using OpenCart open-source platform. It is packed with tons of extensions and it is easy to implement and use. It has a robust administrator dashboard that gives you complete insights about orders, customers, and many more. OpenCart also supports multivendor stores that you can manage from a single interface. Product options and attributes are easily manageable and easy to configure. And on top of all this OpenCart is free and can be self-hosted on your own servers!

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our web development firm uses OpenCart to create professional eCommerce websites that are highly customized. We suggest the use of OpenCart to all of our PHP developers, even if they have not used it before. OpenCart's documentation and strong user base make it very easy to find and edit shopping cart functionalities. Thousands of add-ons and third-party modules make this "open-source" platform the way to go for most eCommerce clients.

Likelihood to Recommend

OpenCart is great for web developers familiar with PHP who have clients who want very specific eCommerce functionalities. OpenCart is "open-source," meaning its source code is open to the public and downloadable and editable by anyone. This makes customizing its functionalities possible with nearly an infinite variety of possibilities. If you are not tech savvy and don't like to read documentation and configure advanced settings, then OpenCart is not the best solution for you.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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. I worked making changes, additions, customizations to code and fixing bugs/issues with existing sites on OpenCart. Clients were happy enough with OpenCart but had requirements/changes needed that they needed help with.

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

E-commerce shops made with OpenCart look professional. Its very scalable, as it is an open source project, so you can easily change features according to need. You can also contribute to OpenCart forums and make money by building modules and selling them to public OpenCart users. We have built many modules and features according to our clients' needs. Best part about OpenCart is it is very easy to learn and work on it. It just uses an MVC module.
