"Its an excellent piece of software. I have seen some bad reviews and i would think thats absolute nonsense. I would also say this from my personal experience -
1. Excellent software
2. Easy to Use
3. Easy to Configure
4. Plenty of help out there if you ask.
5. Its absolutly production ready since there are already more than few people using it. We are going into production this weekend.
6. Knowledge in PHP will sure help the customizations you need.
7. There are several templates available to choose from free to paid.
Bottom Line - Try it you will be pleased"

"So many bugs make it not usable for a serious production. The forums are absolutely disgusting and unhelpful. I would never endorse this product and it's a shame, as it had great potential."

"I have worked with a few shopping carts and opencart is my favorite so far. It does have some bugs, it doesn't have every feature that other carts have, but as a programmer it is very easy to understand and make changes to. It is so much better than Magento in that regard. Not a whole lot had to be done to use in the US, I'm not sure what the other person was talking about. A couple forms had to be changed, but they were easy edits that an html coder could do. In any case I would recommend it to anyone who knows php. If not, hire someone who does. You will pay a lot more for work on prestashop or magento because they are extremely buggy and much more difficult to customize."

"Had tested 1.3.0 and it was pretty good. Upgraded to 1.3.4 and there are so many bugs it is not funny. Just go to the forum board and search around a bit. The unfortunate part is OC builds one of the nicest store fronts of the 7 carts I tested. Right now I can not recommend it"

"We initially selected this cart because it has great graphics, a good administrator control panel, and a clean, simple user interface. However after spending several days customizing it (at a significant cost), we realized we can't use it without completely rewriting major sections. It's designed for use by customers in the United Kingdom. To take orders from anywhere else (like the United States), you have to design your own order forms (high-end carts typically change the order form based on the country you select). It was very difficult to charge a sales tax for the state where we do business and very hard to add different levels of shipping (like FedEx, USPS and UPS). Support for downloadable files is very limited. For example there is no simple way to deliver an unlock code for software or ebooks. This cart appears to be developed and supported by one person who does not respond to emails, but offers assistance for a fee. There are limited instructions and it takes hours to find and edit the multiple PHP files needed to customize the appearance. Finally Juniper Networks says Opencart is vulnerable to hackers (although this may now be corrected in later versions).
