FAQs
OpenCart store development questions
What store owners usually ask before starting a new build.
Planning a new store?
Talk it through with an OpenCart developer.
Call +44 20 3973 9209How much does a new OpenCart store cost?
It depends on the design, number of products and any custom features you need. After a short discovery call we send a fixed-price proposal, so you know the full cost before work begins. Hosting, domain and any paid extensions are separate.
How long does it take to build an OpenCart store?
Timelines depend on scope, content readiness and feedback. A standard store typically takes a few weeks, while larger or custom builds take longer. Your proposal will include a clear timeline.
Is OpenCart really free to use?
Yes. OpenCart is open-source software with no licence or monthly platform fee. You pay for hosting, your domain, our development work and any optional extensions or themes you choose.
Can you move my store from another platform to OpenCart?
Yes. We can migrate products, categories, customers and order history from other platforms, and set up redirects so you keep as much of your existing search visibility as possible.
Will my store be mobile-friendly and SEO-ready?
Yes. Every store we build is responsive and includes SEO foundations: search-friendly URLs, editable titles and meta descriptions, an XML sitemap and a fast, clean structure.
Will I be able to manage the store myself?
Yes. We give you a walkthrough of the OpenCart admin so you can add products and manage orders yourself, and our hourly support is there whenever you need help.
