Overall Satisfaction with OpenCart
OpenCart is used to build e-commerce websites. The website looks very professional and you can customize it according to need. One can also use OpenCart for building multiple websites using a single code. It supports numerous integrations, though you have to purchase them. If you are a developer, you can develop your own modules and sell them in the OpenCart forum. It is available for free and can download. The software is based on PHP, so any merchant looking into OpenCart would benefit from a background in that programming language.
It has an admin panel where you can customize your website easily.

- Magento Open Source (formerly Community Edition) and Shopify
Opencart and Magento both are very stable and easily useable. Learning OpenCart is often easier than learning Magento. Opencart also supports multi vendor websites using a single code, which is you with yearly upgrades. If you are not using open source like Shopify , you won't have ownership of your website. Also it is very difficult to build a Shopify website.
