Hi @Sanjay,
There's a much easier way now to use OpenCart in WordPress!
If you're struggling with traditional methods of installing OpenCart on a WordPress.org site, you're not alone.

✅ Instead of manually setting up OpenCart, you can now use a free plugin called JooCart – it lets you install and run OpenCart inside your WordPress dashboard.

🔹 Free Lite Version
Search for JooCart in your WordPress admin or install it directly from:
👉 https://wordpress.org/plugins/joocart/

🔹 Pro Version – for advanced users
If you're looking for more features and flexibility, the Pro version offers powerful tools:
✨ JooCart Pro Features:
✅ Seamless WordPress Integration – unified front-end & admin login
✅ Custom WordPress Widgets – cart, categories, info, and more
✅ Multilingual Support – respects your WordPress language settings
✅ Use OpenCart Extensions – as WordPress widgets
✅ SEO Optimized – integrates with WordPress permalinks
✅ Smart Navigation – link to any product, category, or info page
✅ Shortcode Support – add products directly to posts/pages
✅ Admin Access Control – restrict access by user role
✅ Layout Flexibility – toggle OpenCart elements and WP widgets
✅ Customizable Design – match your theme with custom styling
✅ One-Click Install or Connect Existing OpenCart
✅ Regular Updates & Dedicated Support
… and much more!

A friend of mine has an online shop... a bit old one, around 7 years or more. It's made on MaxCart but it's not updated and it does not have some of the functions the modern sites have, so I suggested he makes a new one.

My question is which platform is better? WordPress or OpenCart?

The products on the site are around 500. Is this too much for WordPress?

Should we choose OpenCart?

Warm regards

Thank you for the details.

But please keep in mind that you posted it on a five years old forum thread instead of a new forum post.
Also, there is no need to repeat the same post multiple times, otherwise a forum moderator might remove the duplicate posts.
