Liam H.
Good catalog, clunky checkout
The product catalog management is pretty solid and made organizing items easy enough. However, the checkout process feels outdated and clunky, which was frustrating for my customers. Could use a smoother flow there.
Percival H.
Solid but has quirks
Started using OpenCart about 5 years ago for a small online shop, and I’ve seen it change quite a bit since then. The updates have added useful features, but sometimes they also bring bugs that take a while to fix. Customizing the platform is doable if you’re comfortable with code, but the learning curve can be frustrating at times. Overall, it’s been reliable enough but not without its quirks.

Decent but a bit clunky
OpenCart is okay for setting up a basic online store, but it definitely feels a bit clunky at times. Some of the extensions are hit or miss, and it took me a while to figure out how to customize things without breaking stuff. The community support helped, but I wish the interface was a bit more user-friendly. Overall, not bad if you’re on a tight budget and don’t need anything super fancy.
Malcolm E.
Easier product variant management
I was losing hours trying to manage product variants on my small online store before I found OpenCart. It made setting up and organizing those options way easier, but the interface can be clunky and sometimes confusing to navigate.
Douglas M.
Flexible but a bit clunky
I gave OpenCart a shot after trying Shopify and WooCommerce. Compared to Shopify, OpenCart felt less polished and required more manual setup, which was a bit frustrating. However, it was more flexible than WooCommerce when it came to customizing certain features without needing tons of plugins. That said, the interface sometimes felt clunky and updates could break things, so it didn’t feel as reliable overall.
Lysander M.
Overpriced and underwhelming
The pricing feels way too high for what you actually get, especially once you factor in all the extra fees for plugins and support. Not really seeing the return on investment here.
Brandon R.
Setup was a bit rough
Getting OpenCart up and running was a mixed bag—initial setup was fairly quick, but digging into customization and extensions definitely took longer than I expected.
Ryder C.
Smooth and straightforward setup
Getting OpenCart up and running was smoother than I expected. The onboarding guides were clear enough to follow, and I had the basic store set up in just a couple of hours. There was a slight learning curve when customizing certain features, but nothing too overwhelming once I dug into the forums. Overall, the setup process felt straightforward and definitely worth the time invested.
Debra G.
Solid product and reporting tools
The product management system in OpenCart is exactly what I needed to keep everything organized without too much hassle. The reporting feature works great for tracking sales, but sometimes the interface feels a bit clunky when switching between reports.
Reginald B.
Good start, pricey extras
OpenCart feels okay for the price since it’s free to start, but when you add up extensions and hosting, costs add up quickly and the ROI isn’t always clear. It’s decent if you’re willing to put in the time, but can get pricey fast.
