OpenCart Development

OpenCart is light, free and quick to launch — a sensible starting point for a small or mid-size store that does not need enterprise machinery.

Our approach

How we think about OpenCart

We build custom themes and modules, connect the payment and shipping providers you actually use, and keep the admin simple enough that your team can run it day to day without calling us.

Low running costs, no licence fee eating into margin, and a codebase small enough that changes stay affordable.

FAQ

Common questions about OpenCart

Ask us anything
How much does OpenCart Development cost?

It depends on scope, integrations and design complexity. After a free discovery call you get a written estimate with a price range, a timeline and the assumptions behind it.

How long does a typical OpenCart project take?

A focused first release usually takes 8 to 14 weeks. Larger builds are delivered in phases, with something usable at the end of each phase.

Will we own the code and accounts?

Yes. Source code, repositories, store listings and credentials are handed over to you, and we sign an NDA before any details are shared.

Do you support the product after launch?

Yes. Every project includes a warranty period, and monthly support plans cover monitoring, updates, fixes and new features.
