The back end object-orientated php is brilliant even if you dont like the CMS you can learn a lot from the elegance of the code. All down the a guy called Daniel

That’s good to hear Justin. I’ve been playing around with Magento lately but am getting so frustrated with it’s millions of lines of code!!!

Not to mention the trivial backend interface. I really hope good things for OpenCart. We are in desperate need for a nice lightweight, easy-to-use Shopping Cart.

Great cart.
I find the templating system very straight forward.

The backend is neat and tidy, not as daunting as loging into Magento etc…

Front end is feature rich out of the box. For a simple straight forward store this is a great little choice. Have not tried the SEO urls, will do so now!

Thanks for the ideas.
As for Open cart = is just perfect for me, it is easy, it is nice, it looks good without customize anything. Everything make sense the first time in Opencart except why they make it so difficult to add product preview image. I hope next version would fix this.

I just installed version 1.3.0 and there is still a problem with the SEO Urls not working.

Daniel,

When will the next version be out… I have 1.2.8 installed and the SEO Urls are reall the biggest downfall of the script.

Thanks for the update and the PDF invoices sound like a nice touch as well!

I have tried most of them: magento = too complicate, shopsite = don’t even try it, zencart = too low tech (you have to set up everything to start the store), oscommerce = looks crap but good admin panel, difficult to customize. Cubecart = you need to be rich to use it because in latest version 4, it’s not free anymore ($179 Yike!) not to mention you have to buy themes.

As for Open cart = is just perfect for me, it is easy, it is nice, it looks good without customize anything. Everything make sense the first time in Opencart except why they make it so difficult to add product preview image. I hope next version would fix this.
