OpenCart – simple but limited for enterprise growth

OpenCart works well for basic online stores but offers limited scalability, limited built-in B2B functionality, and fewer advanced customization options for large or growing businesses that require more flexibility.

Advantages of OpenCart:

  • lightweight and easy to manage,
  • lower hosting and operating costs,
  • open-source flexibility for small businesses,
  • growing extension marketplace.

Disadvantages of OpenCart:

  • limited B2B features and enterprise-level capabilities,
  • requires custom development for advanced integrations,
  • less support for complex international and multi-store needs,
  • plugin conflicts may appear with larger setups.
