About OpenCart

OpenCart is an open-source eCommerce solution designed to help businesses streamline processes related to store management, payment processing, shipping, search engine optimization (SEO), affiliates and more. Administrators can grant access permissions to specific users, configure settings for multiple stores and track orders, customers, sales and other activities on a centralized dashboard.

OpenCart allows enterprises to add product variants or attributes, provide discounts, special offers and coupons to customers and back-up or restore data for future reference. Professionals can create multiple product categories/subcategories and select languages and currencies according to organizational requirements. Additionally, it lets users set up recurring payments for clients and monitor viewed or purchased products via sales reports.

OpenCart facilitates integration with various third-party systems such as PayPal, FedEx, Skrill, Klarna, First Data and more. The product is available for free and support is extended via documentation, phone, email and other online measures.

Pros:

All modules can be configured and if there is a module that I have a problem with, I can intervene with php. In addition, many hosting companies have ready-made opencart services and this makes my job easier. The options in the cargo module are very suitable for our country, for example the "pay at the door" option. Being open source and free is one of the features that attracts me. Lastly, their reports are very useful to me. Because it is very diverse and understandable

Cons:

A little weak on SEO. Pages can have multiple URL addresses at the time of design. To prevent this, I need to develop with PHP.

The platforms fine. I am impressed and i do not have any dislike.

Pros:

Opencart has a lot of plug ins to make the store look how you want. It will also integrate well with many other pieces of software.

Since it's free, the support was not necessarily there. Can take some getting used to before you learn how it does things.

Ease of Use

OpenCart works well for small businesses whose product availability are limited. It can't offer enough resources for customers in large businesses as it should. It has a free version that is too easy to operate, paid plugins are needed to generate some incomes. OpenCart has so many features that are included in it's default set-up, themes and lots of add-ons. I recommend OpenCart for small businesses if they're looking to boost sales.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

1. It is an open source ecommerce development platform which allows bringing small scale as well as medium scale businesses online within just few clicks. 2. It provides all the basic features to run and organize an effective online store which can be used easily and doesn't require much of technical expertise.

Cons:

1. Being an open source platform it is more likely to be vulnerable from external threats such as code injection and similar. 2. Although it provides all the basic features but sometimes I feel like it lacks a bit of features such as event management application as well as it doesn't provide access to its code files in order to build one.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

A virtual store with lots of integration options, safe and very fast is what we always need. Do not think that all are like this, but many customers who make use of it always look for this. This can handle in a professional manner and with highly accepted language in the PHP market.

Cons:

Some payment types have not yet been programmed for the platform, we still depend on programmers to program Brazilian payment solutions, but there are already several that can already be used. I believe time may come more.
