Overall Satisfaction with nopCommerce

nopCommerce is an extensible e-commerce platform. We are using it as a front end e-commerce store and we have extended it to use it as a POS in our brick and mortar stores. It is being used across the whole organization. The nopCommerce front end is extended to integrate with Openbravo an open source ERP. This provides seamless inventory management between [our] online shop and offline shops.
  • Well structured code helps in extending and customizing the software
  • All the features and functionality required by an ecommerce business is available out of the box
  • Availability of dotnet developers and the community is an added strength
  • Provide more themes; more mobile themes are needed.
  • Steep learning curve for code customization
  • Lower adaptation in the industry, though growing.
  • Payback was within a year. ROI is positive.
1. Speed of the store front is very fast compared to Magento Community Edition

2. Dotnet based development

3. Very dedicated group of developers who are very responsive in released and community support
Most Appropriate:
1. If the default theme serves your purpose, then nopCommerce is the software for you.
2. A very fast loading software!
Less Appropriate:
1. If you need customization and extension and if you don't have access to dotnet developers, you might find it difficult to handle nopcomerce.
2. Theme customization takes time
