OpenCart
Get started with ecommerce on an open-source platform
OpenCart is a simple solution when you want to take ecommerce seriously. It’s got everything you’d expect, but you don’t need to be an expert to get your ecommerce store up and running.
Recommended specifications
OpenCart + VPS = flexibility
It’s in the name – OpenCart is open-source, which means you get to choose how your ecommerce store works. Your store will quickly take shape with the intuitive admin panel, and extensions give you all the extras you might be looking for. Get it pre-installed on a VPS server that gives you root access and scales with your business.
The most popular integrations
OpenCart comes with 36 of the most popular payment gateways already integrated, including PayPal, Amazon Payments, and Klarna. And if that’s not enough, you can add more through the OpenCart marketplace. And it’s the same for shipping methods, with Fedex, Royal Mail. Parcelforce, and more integrated by default.
Tools that make it easy
Setting up new product listings doesn’t need to take forever. OpenCart supports filters and attributes for products, giving you a simple way to sort everything into its own category. Your customers will be able to find what you’re selling, and with support for multiple languages and currencies, you can find those customers worldwide.
