If you want to launch your online store you also have to buy hosting and prepare graphics for your shop. What is more, integration with online payments, shipping companies, Allegro platform and software upgrades are neither for free nor cheap.

Is Opencart Free?

“Free” is only the frame of the OpenCart software.

Launching the online store with OpenCart software is time-consuming. In the beginning, you need to take care of the hosting and deal with the installation by yourself (and this takes time and requires advanced programming knowledge). Customizing the store to your needs is associated with searching for additional modules on the Internet and with their implementation.

At the first glance it may seem that the administration panel of OpenCart online store is easy and intuitive, however problems may appear when you need to install the plugin or edit the website code.

Even though the frame of the OpenCart software has been translated into Hindi, many additional plugins are available only in English version.

By downloading the free OpenCart software, you get only the frame of the online store. You can add integrations and other functionalities by installing additional modules which are often paid and require configuration.

Unfortunately, technical support in OpenCart is not for free. You are left only with the online forums and the help of anonymous specialists.

Specially for you we have compared capabilities of the Zencommerce online store and OpenCart software, so you can choose the best solution available on the market.
