Just my 2c

Beware when you bought the product ( https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... n_id=31461 ) from their site directly BETTER buy from OPENCART ONLY.

Because they will LOCK your account with a reason 'You have not use the software since the day you bought but download many times of the software update' and they suspected my motive to buy the software and have not use it yet.

Even I have explained to them the reason I have not to use it because my business model strategy is changed and kept downloading the update just to make sure when we have the fitted business strategy will use the software, and another reason is I have a bad experience with other software company that suddenly shut down their business and I haven't got the chance to download the newest version of the software.

they should be ashamed asking for rating review !!! https://imgur.com/a/n5Rgoyy

AND

how funny is that forced to install immediately the things I was bought?? am I not allowed to kept updating the software I was paid for without installing it? where is the logic?
FOR EXAMPLE;

When you buy a car, the dealer does not push you to use it, right? or
if you buy an iPhone for collection, did Apple push you to use it?

We bought software from purpletreesoft once, I can't recommend them, it was just spaghetti code.

There are simple coding standards for OpenCart extension developers. Unfortunately, too many extensions don't use them.
