Best module system and has 328 extensions and counting.

great eshop with the worst module system. and without modules there is no fun.

cool and very very simple development modules and themes, yeah i like it. its true for my Indonesian ecommerce development. Thanks All.

I think OpenCart is really good, using a long time, and I released 4 shops on with OpenCart.

Its lighting fast and structured so well that coding with opencart is a dream.

Opencart is a nice clean script and fun to play with BUT ITS NOT FOR SERIOUS USE.

There are way to many bugs in the latest 'stable' version to use it for anything serious.

The release schedule is simply a joke, 1.4.0 will completely brake from 1.4.1, 1.4.2 - 1.4.8 ect ect
Any mods or templates for 1.4.x will then not work with a different 1.4.x version, so as a long term system its just not viable.

The creator of the script is simply pig arrogant when it comes to any constructive criticism he will either close the thread and delete it or simply come back with some childish, aggressive comment, which doesn't help anyone and turns people away from the script. Hes the same with newer users asking for help, he simply answers its your problem not opencarts, great way to welcome new people to the script.

All this is a real shame as this project had grate potential.

I just gotta say I'm WAY impressed with opencart. I've been using osCommerce for the past 3 years... and by "use" I mean struggle / wrestling with.

I received a note from my host that my OSC install was possibly corrupted and I should move to the newest version. "No problem... I'll just download and install the most recent release." Well, you can imagine my shock to find out that the project is mostly dead.

So, began my search I did for a great replacement. My requirements:

• Inventory management: I need to be able to have an item with multiple options (sizes) as pull down options. The system needs to track how many items are in stock and how many left.
• Paypal Integration: I need to be able to use paypal as my payment gateway / processor.
• Coupons / certificates: support for these
• No sign-in required: Someone can add items to their cart and go right to paypal without having to sign up in the shopping cart. They can create an account if they want, but it is NOT required. All the contact, payment, and shipping information can be handled in Paypal.

I looked at all the usual candidates and ended up at http://php.opensourcecms.com where I sorted ecommerce scripts by rating. I fully expected I'd have to thoroughly test at least the top 5 to find what I needed. Well, I was pleasantly surprised that out-of-the-box opencart does almost everything I needed!

Well, it is now installed and my store manager is setting everything up. He's SUPER happy with the interface and all the features... like a breath of fresh air compared to what we've been sludging through with OSC. BLAH ::)

On a related note: I was dreading having to find answers to all the questions I knew would come up during install. But get this... every single question so far (and I've had lots) have been answered thoroughly and clearly in this forum. It is rare that a forum community (props especially to Qphoria) has been able to answer every question I've had. Amazing!!!

The only thing I'd be pretty critical of is the lack of thorough documentation, but what's the point when 1) The script is updating and changing all the time and 2) The forum has a great search and all the info I need.

Again, great job on the script, the website, and the forum. I'm looking forward to a long relationship with opencart!!

To CMEBD,

I don't know why you posted this message here!

The forum was down will it was being upgraded.

This is for reviews of opencart not to send me personal messages.

To Daniel:
I have been working on OC since November. Today I tried to access the forum where I am hoping I have an answer to a template question, but receive a "Forbidden/you don't have permission" message.

Unfortunately have not had any response to other forms of contact.

I tried a lot of e-commerces but decided to use OpenCart only. Why? Because it is very easy to learn and quick to use. I am using Opencart successfully for my e-biz. And you could too. It is sophisticated strong reliable system and from version 1.4.7. is superb more and more. There are lot of official and community modules. Maybe there are lot of releases but the reason is to improve it. I am sure it will quickly go to version 1.5. It is going its own genuine way and users will like it so much that other e-biz systems will be almost forgetted and surely thrown to waste basket. Thanks to Daniel&co. Keep your good work!

To Caraig,

you're full of crap. its being used by 1000's of people.

This script is currently unusable by anyone in need of a serious ecommerce solution. The release system is basically a joke and unless you don't customise your site at all, each subsequent version will break the last unless you do a clean install. Even then, the database migration and managament tools are almost non-existant. In short, OpenCart is a P-O-S - and I've given it more than enough time to be sure of this.

is it possible to change the currency to other countries'? other than euro, pound and USD?

Turkish also attached. Greaaaaatt :)

Just a note for those trying out the demo version here.
You might have trouble inserting a new Product.
The error messages (in red) sometimes aren't visible until you click the correct tab. I was trying to insert a product for 10 minutes but it didn't appear until I clicked the "German" tab.

Yes, you need to define a German name for your product.
This guy had the same issue as me.
