Integrating Payment Gateways in OpenCart - Emmanuel Katto

Hello everyone,

My name is Emmanuel Katto. I’m currently setting up my OpenCart store and need some guidance on integrating payment gateways. What hosting providers have you found to work best with OpenCart in terms of performance and support? What customer support extensions do you recommend for OpenCart? I’m looking for something that integrates well and offers live chat options.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Emmanuel Katto

Hello,

You're focusing on setting up your OpenCart store for success! One thing I'd add is that when choosing both hosting and payment gateways, it's worth considering scalability for the future. As your business grows, you might need to adapt your hosting environment to handle more traffic or expand your payment options. Hosting providers like SiteGround and A2 Hosting are fantastic for starting out with robust support and performance, but if you ever decide to scale up, a cloud provider like Cloudways might give you more flexibility.

Also, on the customer support side, integrating a live chat like Tawk.to or LiveChat can really improve the overall customer experience and reduce cart abandonment. It’s amazing how much more confident shoppers feel when they know help is just a message away. One thing to consider is automation, too—having automated replies for common queries can make your support even more efficient.

We use Tawk for live chat. It's pretty good.

I would recommend using osTicket system. I can help with it too
