### Most mentioned pros

- A solid option who like Microsoft technologies in Ecommerce.
- In all of them we have had to add functionalities, or steps in the checkout. and with nopcommerce it has been viable thanks to its plugin mechanism which allows me to migrate to new versions only with small adjustments in the plugins.
- I love the implementation of the .NET stack, the bindiing technologies (Kendo Ui and JQuery Datatable), the core logic in C# and the use of ASP.NET MVC architecture.

### Most mentioned cons

- They don't help you learn the integration
- no never we dont own servers at all they are expensive and we are just indiviual developers working as freelancers mostly, do rethink about your pricing plans.
- Little bit of slowness

#### Pros

The most important thing for me and my company is the ability to integrate with this software and customize it. We print custom t-shirts and we have created numerous "fundraiser" functions where orders get placed on our website and we know exactly what we need to print and order. Also, our customers can view the progress of their fundraiser real time. Also, the support is fantastic! They are very active on their forums and on Github. We've been using their software since 1.9 and will never leave. We've tried other platforms, but non compare to the flexibility of Nop! The next most important thing is their uncanny drive to STAY relevant in the coding world! They are always right there to adopt the latest platform!

#### Cons

When creating plugins there can be some re-work on custom plugins, BUT they provide great support to help through it.

#### Reasons for choosing nopCommerce

Our ability to extend it for our needs
