For a long time I have been very frustrated with e-commerce systems, from my self built one all the way to Magento. That was until I came across OpenCart. It’s a great system, easy to use and to develop for. Installation takes 5 minutes, it has all the modules you need to run a successful e-commerce site straight out of the .zip. I nicknamed it the “WordPress of e-commerce”! Have a look for yourself at the Opencart demonstration page.
