One advantage iOpenCart has is that it is easy to install and learn. But in all other cases (mainly in security) less buggy platforms should be used.

User Testimonials
OpenCart
Likelihood to Recommend
OpenCart is great for web developers familiar with PHP who have clients who want very specific eCommerce functionalities. OpenCart is "open-source," meaning its source code is open to the public and downloadable and editable by anyone. This makes customizing its functionalities possible with nearly an infinite variety of possibilities. If you are not tech savvy and don't like to read documentation and configure advanced settings, then OpenCart is not the best solution for you.

Cons
  • Sometimes developer skill is required to work on admin module.
  • Add-on modules are often necessary, and you need to purchase them separately
  • Hard to update it to new versions, and it is constantly updating
  • Though it is smooth to use, it works on a read-edit-delete system. Deleting data is very critical.

Return on Investment
  • At the time of starting a business, OpenCart helped us with easy setup and catalog management. We have stared and deployed e-commerce sites very easily.
  • The websites didn't look good at first (we modified later) and that impacted our business as our clients received a lot of orders.
