How do I install OpenCart?
If you’re a web hosting customer, simply log into eXtend and scroll down to the Ecommerce section to install OpenCart.
If you’re a reseller, you can also offer a one-click install of OpenCart to your customers. To activate OpenCart installs for your customers, you will need to edit the hosting package(s) in question. Choose the package you want to add OpenCart to, then check the ‘Synchronise accounts’ box, and scroll down to the OpenCart checkbox and check it. At the bottom of the page, save your changes.
Awesome addition to the setup…
Nice product HI: have had a play in the past only downside is that a lot of the extentions you have to pay for and some are not cheap;

Fantastic news – really useful. I’ve successfully installed OpenCart a number of times and this will speed up the process – not to mention promote its existence to a wider audience. Not only a powerful tool for implementing a site, but the back-end admin for the site owner is wonderfully easy too. Many of the useful extensions are in fact free, but those that are not are well worth the money – a massive boost to a developer’s array of tools.
Well done to the team at Heart Internet for listening to customer requests!
Fantastic! Thanks Heart!
Nice to know you guys are listening…I only mentioned this this the other day…
Craig this is great news!
Heart Internet always listen to our hearts!
Guys you are one step ahead!
One word. “Sexual”!!
How about Prestashop? Rated no1 open source ecommerce solutions. We get a lot of requests on our reseller account about Prestashop. Please add them next.
Anil,
Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll add it to the list.
Cheers

yeah I filled out a feedback form the other day also asking for prestashop as well as open cart….looking good though…keep it up
What a fantastic bit of kit! In the past I have always used FreeWebStore, but OpenCart’s back-end admin is far superior. Excellent work HI.
I requested this script to be included some time ago so pleased to see it now included. Opencart is one of the best Open Source shopping carts and is getting better with each revision. Just watch out for the upgrade process though as it is not yet fully automated and if you have a non standard template can cause the site to break. I have been using it for 2 years and you can see a couple of my sites at http://www.sheffieldprogolf.co.uk and http://www.icswretail.co.uk both hosted on Heart Internet. Well done for including OpenCart.
