Is opencart Stable and usable?

Just wondering is there a stable, and fully functional version of opencart available?

The last version i used 7.2 i think had a few bugs.

I'm looking to throw up a quick ecommerce site and opencart fits the bill but i can't find many / any live shops!

I would say it's pretty much stable, although I haven't tested the paypal as yet, but few have remarked on that from what I have seen in the last few weeks, for this version, so i am taking that this is working just dandy...could be wrong but I am sure someone will tell me if i am.

You may wish to add a few of the MODs created by some to enhance your cart, but as a script on it's own this is the easiest I have ever had to implement, and you could have a fully functioning cart up and running within hours, including template modifications.

paypal is working fine for me against the sandbox. will be testing a run with a real payment later this week there are some live shop examples in the "live shops" section of the forum.

since the documentation for opencart isn't prepared yet, the best thing to do would be to install it and see if it looks like it meets your requirements... it's really quick to get going, as long as you meet the prerequisites.

Thanks for the replies guys. I have worked extensively with an older version of Opencart, including reskinning etc, and that project is still in the pipeline.

What i'm looking for now is just to install a quick and simple cart software that would work out of the box so to speak. I'll give it a bash to see if its working!

The live examples have been there ages and must be using an outdated or modified version. I tested before with version 7.2 and Paypal was not working....

i think there were some issues reported with paypal callbacks, but those may have to do with the particular webhost being used.

i think there are some minor outstanding bug fixes coming, the only larger one i am aware of is that url aliases are not working in the current version (0.7.6.1). but the cart will still operate fine with this feature disabled (which it is by default).

paypal is working correctly with latest version. my store will go live in about a week ill show it off soon

SEO friendly URLS are pretty much my only criteria that i'd need to have other than the basics that i know Opencart offers. Does anyone know a lead time on fixing this issue?
