OpenCart Review: Close to Free Open Source Platform for Experienced Developers

Joe Warnimont 4.5
Ecommerce Reviews
In an age of subscription-based ecommerce platforms and website builders, sometimes it's nice to have a solution that's free. When you look at an open source option like OpenCart, that's exactly what you receive. It's open for free download, you're able to find your own hosting, and upgrade without any payments. The reason we like that so much is because many open source platforms try to get you with yearly upgrades.

On the other hand, you have "packaged" solutions like Shopify and BigCommerce, where you're paying a monthly fee without any real ownership of your website.
