If yes - great! This needs to be talked about for the legitimacy of OpenCart as a game changer in the ecommerce solution industry.
If no - how can we get this fixed ASAP?
Based on the above articles findings the use of iFrames for UGC is NOT able to be indexed by Google. How does OpenCart's solution display the UGC from page to page?
How to Increase Traffic With Customer Content
1. Verify that Google is indexing customer reviews on your product page. To easily check for yourself, do the following:
•Choose a product on your site with customer reviews
•Find the search result in Google linking to that product page
•In the bottom right of the search result, click the link that says "Cached" (see below) to see how Google views your product page when it was last indexed. If customer reviews or any other keyword-rich content is missing, move on to step two and take action immediately
2. Remove any valuable, keyword-rich content from iFrames or JavaScript and place it in a Google-indexable format (HTML).
3. Make one person accountable, as part of her role, for consumer-generated content quantity and quality - e.g., 30 percent increase in customer reviews, 50 percent increase in reviews being shared on Facebook and Twitter.
