Seamless Integration and Ease of access

Easy to implement, integrate and a seamless transition has helped me a lot and with tools for SEO and multi-vendor capabilities are top-notch. Highly recommended!

What they liked

As a first-time user, the nopCommerce guide and ease of use have helped in seamless integration with our existing services, and the tools such as SEO and Multi-Vendor, etc has been very beneficial

Room for improvement

The User Interface at some pages should be clutter-free apart from that there have been no problems

Switched From

We were less satisfied with the service and experience of PrestaShop and as there was an opportunity for the organization to switch, we chose nopCommerce.

Why they chose it

"The customer service represented to us was very satisfactory and the assistance provided was very helpful as compared to rest."

I'm not saying it's the best (which of course it is), but it's one of the best and most powerful open source cms in the world.

About 6 or 7 years ago, I got to know nopCommerce through a very interested person. There were not many resources to learn it. Previously, I was able to enter this field through the question and answer forum of nopCommerce and seeing the questions and answers of others. Due to having a very high experience in C# and .NET, I was able to quickly gain a deep understanding of this CMS and I succeeded during this I have designed many plugins for years and also produce store and non-store sites based on this CMS.

What they liked

Open source Clean and readable code Based on design pattern Ease of learning it Pluggable Free Keep up with modern technology Together with Microsoft Support for a wide variety of databases Can be used on mobile phones

Room for improvement

If I want to talk about the disadvantages, I have to say that it is heavy and requires very strong hardware resources, as well as the time-consuming compilation of plugins

Why they chose it

"As I said, firstly, it has simple and understandable codes, and secondly, the discussion forum is much better for it, and most importantly, it is an inclusive community."

Great value for money - it's free! Feature packed!

Feature packed which is great

What they liked
  • It's free, what is not to like about that
  • There are many features and is easy to add new features to to customise to build your own solution
Room for improvement

When there is an update to the software, all plugins need to be compatible with the new version, otherwise you cannot upgrade to the new nopCommerce version

The Best DotNet Shopping Cart Software For Your Money!

We are a weekly, subscription based home delivery service. Therefore, there are no "out of the box" options out there that fully meet our business needs. The out the box NopCommerce solution met 75% our of requirements. More importantly, its open source flexibility allowed us to meet the other 25% using all internal resources and just one outside NopCommerce developer consultant/expert.

What they liked
  • 1
  • Value: For companies that need to make major customizations to an eCommerce software to fit their business needs, NopCommerce is hands down the best option
  • 2
  • DotNet/MS SQL Server: No other comparable open source platforms out there for DotNet/MS SQL Server 3
  • Active Core Team and Dev Community
Room for improvement
  • 1
  • Performance: We are on an older version of the software (3
  • 8), and are satisfied with the Performance, but definitely not blown away by it
  • I know the nop team has been working on it diligently since our version and I'm excited to see what upgrading to the latest release (4
  • 2) will do for us in terms of page load speeds
  • 2
  • Plugins: (a) It is difficult to know the quality of the plugins until installing
  • (b) many of the plugins are not open source, so we generally can't use them because we don't want to introduce inflexible dependencies for our major customizations
Switched From

After almost a year, we finally called it quits on our Magento project. This was due to the fact that Magento was complex and our implementors couldn't customize it correctly to meet our business needs. Rather than continue to struggle through the project, we fired the implementors and found NopCommerce. Full disclosure, our IT team has more experience with Windows and MS SQL Server, so that also played into the decision. NopCommerce was so easy to install that we were demoing it to the business stakeholders within a week of the switch. Due to the number of customizations we made, it did take another 7 months before go live. With NopCommerce being fully open source, there hasn't been a business requirement that we haven't been able to meet.

Powerful Ecommerce Solution

I am happy with NOPcommerce platform , I believe the platform will improve alot with future updates.

What they liked
  • The NOPcommerce is very easy to learn and straightforward eCommerce platform
  • The platform has powerful features that are scale to handle large format or multi brand store
  • The Solution is Free to use and the NOP community is very strong in helping each other
Room for improvement
  • As the platform is not as popular as Shopify / Majento or Woo commerce, so lot of time I dont find ready plugins for integration
  • I recommend Nopcommerce team to provide ready plugins to connect with popular platforms such as Facebook , google , and others
  • Another recommendation is ability to launch the application on linux cloud servers which are cheaper compared to current Microsoft servers
Switched From

Shopify is very restrictive and only good for small single brand stores. Not very scalable in long run. Furthermore, their costing is high .

Why they chose it

"Majento is good platform but you have to pay expensive license fee for pro version. Shopify and Woocommerce are limited in scalability and designs are generic in the market. NopCommerce is open source and feature rich without any licence fee . It is highly scalable with a professional look."

It took me over 12 years to find a replacement solution. This ticked all the boxes in a few hours.

We are now selling all the spare parts we used to but now the experience for the end user is so much better. Support for mobile devices is miles ahead of where we were.

What they liked
  • It was easy to install, quick to set up and everything I wanted to evaluate just worked as I expected
  • NOPCommerce is great for us - we were on DNN with ecommerce addins which just did not do what we wanted
  • NOPCommerce allowed us to easily migrate across and with everything being in SQLServer data migration and parallel running is pretty easy
Room for improvement

It would be nice to have some things triggered by changing data in the database (such as progressing order stages) rather than having to customise any code

Why they chose it

"It did everything we wanted. Some of the others needed significant work or appear to be written by inexperienced porgrammers."

'nopCommerce' - Best ECommerce platform

I found nopCommerce during my search through google and other ECommerce websites that guide, compare and review. I went in journey by reading more and more about it then download the source code which is free by default. After that I start using the source code and solve the problems that I faced by get support from nopCommerce forums and community and this is the second reason that take me to go with nopCommerce.

What they liked
  • - It is a Free - Great, reach and big support
  • - Easy of use - Customization - Big community - Built on DOT-NET CORE - Continues upgrade - Already supports Multi-vendors - Contains many plugins that save a lot of efforts and money - Integration with other applications and services
Room for improvement
  • - Extensions and themes are expensive - Documentation must contains more details about nopCommerce Architecture - Documentation must contains a very details about each component and its role
  • - Removing 'powered by nopCommerce' cost starts from 250$ to 3500$ that means nopCommerce is not free 100%
  • - No mobile APP and what exist is very expensive
Switched From

Security, Poor support, less features and needs more work to go

Why they chose it

"1- nopCommerce built on a DOT-NET CORE technology which by default has a support from Microsoft itself. 2 - Free 3 - Easy to customize 4 - EASY Of USE 5 - SUPPORT We found that it is the best platform for our"
