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.
  • Free of cost.
  • Designing according to the need. It is very easy and highly customizable.
  • 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.
  • Free of cost open-source platform.
  • Highly customizable so clients are happy with designs and functionality.
  • Upgrade it without any payment time to time.
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.
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.
