PHP based, and opensource .. but with many of the plugins and extensions available for a fee .. So, perhaps better to call it freemium?

We're not the only ones... there are many bad reviews of OpenCart for many different reasons and I'll explain them a bit here. OpenCart is an open source e-commerce platform written in PHP and is based on the MVC platform. The code is clean and written in a way that is easy to modify and understand.

Overall, it's a pretty good e-Commerce system and if you know your way around LAMP technology you can modify it nicely to suit your needs. Of the other open source systems we have tried, it's the cleanest and uses the least amount of files overall. So that's the good about it. Here are a few reasons why we take back our recommendation of using OpenCart for client sites. When Qphoria releases updates, the readme many times says that templates are not affected by certain updates. Daniel must have a lot going on.

Unlike other platforms, we don't know when the next patch will be released either. So how does OpenCart makes it's money? VQMod Manager.

Skip to end of metadataGo to start of metadata While strictly modules, product feeds and OpenCart extensions should be standalone and modular, some require modifications to the OpenCart core. Modifying OpenCart core files greatly reduces your ability to upgrade your store to later versions, and can affect other modules and extensions. vQmod provides a mechanism by which modules requiring OpenCart core modifications can be installed without damaging the integrity of your core system for upgrades. vQmod keeps a list of filenames and changes required, in the form of one XML file per extension. These changes are then created as the core files are used, and the resulting files are stored as cached copies which are executed instead of the original, core PHP or TPL file. Installing vQmod If you wish to upgrade your store, or have a 3rd party extension that you have not used before, it is advisable that you use the vQmod system.

Click the Wiki link. Welcome to vQmod™ "vQmod™" (aka Virtual Quick Mod) is an override system designed to avoid having to change core files. The concept is quite simple... Instead of making changes to the core files directly, the changes are created as xml search/replace script files. These script files are parsed during page load as each "source" core file is loaded with the "include" or "require" php functions. The source is then patched with the script file changes, and saved to a temp file. See wiki links for additional information, usage, and syntax Features No actual code changes are made. This system can be used for any php script, forum, shopping cart, cms, etc.

After the initial class load, the mod can actually use a script to mod itself into other core files that do the actual includes for other mods. Who can use it? It was initially designed in php using the OpenCart project, but it is not limited to OpenCart, nor is the concept limited to php. (Locked) Opencart - what a disappointment | ThemeForest Community Forums. Hello Kops, I am “playing” with OpenCart quite often and I cannot agree what you said. 1. “Firslty is the complete and utter lack of a support structure” – Isn’t it the same with all Open Source applications? Especially the new ones? However, the OpenCart community could be a great source of help, but there are still too few people familiar enough with the system. 2. “More often than not, these plugins overwrite core files which means upgrading Opencart is out of the question without a load of hassle” – this is not exactly the truth. May be you didn’t noticed the same guy (Qphoria) that runs the “popular extensions store” made a great platform for extending the system without touching the core files – it is called “the VQ mod”.

As RedHenry already said, the system is still quite new and of course there are a lot of issues, but they are constantly improving and fixing everything (except the bug in the search function when mod_rewrite is enabled.

It can be hard to know where to begin the hunt for a solution that best fits the scope and personality of your business.
