Our support team has been producing solutions with spectacular results since we started. You can expect them to uphold that level of excellence every single time you offer up an issue for them to handle. Now that’s superior support staff doing what they do best.
Open sesame. That’s what you can expect your ecommerce website to be telling clients’ wallets as they browse your store. This feature-rich CMS has over 13000 themes for even the most pedantic, open-minded creative. Your website and brand will do all the talking – it’s an open-and-shut case.
Two brains are better than one. Same goes for two businesses. Our administrator interface allows you to manage multiple stores at the same time. Sounds like a cart-full of business to us.
You’ve heard of guilt by association, but have you heard about paid by affiliation? With a built-in affiliate feature, affiliates can promote your products and get paid for them automatically. Convenient? Guilty as charged.
Forget the calculator every time you bring in an international client. OpenCart has a built-in currency converter ensuring both you and your client get it right. You can also set up country-specific taxes.
How about some comprehensive stats with your morning cuppa? The main dashboard shows you specifically how well your store is doing, with a customisable option to add and remove information widgets.
Payment compatibility will never be an issue as OpenCart comes pre-integrated with 36 payment platforms, including PayPal, Blue Pay, and Paymate. Recurring payments, sales analytics, and different shipping methods make life even easier.
If ever you want OpenCart to behave a bit differently for you, you can tweak your copy of its source code and redeploy it on your OpenCart hosting account. This is a limited flexibility feature only some providers offer.
Experience freedom that allows you to unleash your creativity for maximum customisation. Blast boundaries as you configure your online store to set your business at its peak.
Anyone can contribute to the codebase of open-source software. Although, only when a code contribution gets vetted and tested by experts, does it get added to the codebase. Pretty open-minded of them.
Bugs in open-source software usually get patched instantly. The OpenCart developer community is large, and any approved contributor can apply the fix, and release an update.
Many companies have performed vulnerability scans and audits on the OpenCart source code. You can do so too! This ability to check for code compliance and safety isn’t available with proprietary software.
Join the thousands of happy clients hosting with us.

OpenCart is an online store management system, similar to Shopify. One of the key differences is that it is open source.
Yes, it is. This makes it a feasible choice for most and because it is open-source public coders are able to offer add ons and scripts to help improve it, alongside the developer team.
The most obvious difference is that OpenCart is free to use, whereas Shopify and BigCommerce are paid solutions. All three solutions are easy to use, but only OpenCart gives you the ability to customize its source code.
Unless you can find an extension, adding customizations to Shopify or BigCommerce will either cost you a lot, or just be impossible. Even though Shopify is currently the most prevalent ecommerce solution, OpenCart is slowly starting to catch up.
There are a few caching and optimization plugins you can install to speed up your website. However, at the end of the day, your OpenCart website will only be as fast as the hosting it’s running on.
The best hosts (such as ourselves) go to great lengths to ensure a fast-shopping experience for your customers. For example, we use SSDs instead of traditional storage, which are built for faster information retrieval.
Yes, it is. With OpenCart, it’s super easy to make your website mobile-friendly, and SE-optimized. By default, your website will be responsive. This means that its outlook will be perfect, regardless of the device it’s being viewed on. And no, you don’t have to tweak any settings for this to happen!
A lot of SEO features like meta titles, meta descriptions, and keywords come built-in with your OpenCart installation. There is also a huge collection of SEO extensions that you can install, to further increase your SEO rankings."
