Anyone using OpenCart? What are your thoughts, experiences? (or have a better recommendation?)

I am looking to "prototype" some fully operational sites to sell some consumer products we have access to, without incurring high costs (e.g. add'l licensing, specific hosting requirements, integration consultants, etc). ...test market on the cheap, in a way from this site uspayserv.com Got this info..

I am looking at OpenCart - It's Open Source, runs on a basic hosting plan, written in php/mysql, integrates with our current payment gateway...
so barriers to entry are low, so I thought I would take it for a test drive..

This is for proof of concept -"plus". If it works out, we'll keep running it until we need more functionality.

We already operate several sites on a custom platform, so we're not new to things.. just being cost-conscious.

Anyone have real world experiences to share?

Help me any proper solution !!

Hi!

OpenCart is not a CMS, but a utility framework. On its basis, you can do anything. Therefore, issues of module compatibility are usually solved by interfering with the code.

OC version. So, what are you specifically looking for with all this?

Nope, we are all here just to read the forum, we don't use opencart. ::)
