Hi all,
I’m running an OpenCart (v4) store and finding that most email marketing tools feel like overkill for my needs. I’m not aiming for high-pressure conversions with every send, just looking for a simple way to share regular updates or editorial-style content with my customers.
I recently came across https://gritt.io/, which looks promising : clean, content-focused, and less complex than the usual platforms. I’m curious if anyone here has tried integrating it with OpenCart, or found a similarly lightweight solution that plays well without too much backend hassle.
Would love to hear what’s worked for you.
Cheers.
You could try Klaviyo or mailchimp.

What about the built-in system?lex360byte wrote: ↑Tue May 13, 2025 8:53 pmRunning an OpenCart (v4) store and starting to feel that the usual email marketing tools are a bit overkill for what I need.

I use Mautic self hosted. I usually strip out the OC newsletter system and embed a Mautic form on the site and in the user account area. It works well.

That is good choice if you have a regular newsletter and huge list to send out.
Did used in past but with my ERP.

For Mautic there a few extensions to use with OpenCart: https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... rch=mautic
And at that stage of the OpenCart development and the bugs any v.4.x version still has, it's better to use 3.0.4.0 https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... load_id=74 with a liveshop!

Either with an extension or an embedded form I would definitely recommend Mautic self hosted. In my experience though it requires a decent hosting account to run it. I've got a VPS and it's fine. When I was on a shared hosting account it was sluggish.OSWorX wrote: ↑Wed May 14, 2025 8:32 pmFor Mautic there a few extensions to use with OpenCart: https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... rch=mautic

Another option for a really simple setup would be phpList. There are a few plugins required to make it usable IMO. It's very basic but is much lighter than Mautic. It would provide a basic newsletter and contact system with no bells and whistles. A decent understanding of html and css would be of benefit when using it.
