Opencart is one of the most popular choice of eCommerce Platform now a day. As per statistics from Builtwith eCommerce Trends it has the second largest market share in eCommerce Platform Market Globally, just after Woocommerce. If we consider the fact that Woocommerce is not really full-fledged eCommerce Platform, rather it’s merely an extension for WordPress based websites, then Opencart is leading in the road. In US Opencart stands at 9th Position, in UK it’s in 3rd Position and in Australia it’s in 6th Position respectively, making it an important platform to consider when you think of building a new eCommerce website.
