What is OpenCart?

OpenCart is a free, open-source e-commerce platform written in PHP that lets merchants set up and run an online store. It manages products, customers, orders, taxes and coupons from an admin panel and can be extended through modules and themes. The code is published on GitHub under the GPLv3 license.

How to install OpenCart on Hostripples: choose a plan, open Softaculous, OpenCart is live

License: GPL-3.0 · Built with: PHP + MySQL/MariaDB · Official site: www.opencart.com

Common uses

  • Small and medium online shop
  • Multi-language or multi-currency storefront
  • Catalog with reviews and coupons
  • Store extended with marketplace modules

OpenCart requirements

  • PHP: 8.0 or higher for the current 4.x line (per project README)
  • Database: MySQL/MariaDB via MySQLi or PDO; PostgreSQL is also listed in the 4.x docs

OpenCart 4.x needs only hosting that supports PHP 8 and a database, so it runs on standard PHP/MySQL plans. Its own docs list installation via Softaculous as the easiest route.

  • All-NVMe storage and LiteSpeed Enterprise with LSCache for quick page loads

OpenCart Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

The OpenCart 4.x documentation says you need hosting that supports PHP 8 and a database, and the repository README gives PHP 8.0 as the minimum. Both MySQL and MariaDB are supported through MySQLi or PDO.
Yes. The OpenCart documentation only asks for PHP 8 and a database, which standard shared cPanel plans provide. Very large catalogs or heavy traffic will need more resources, so size your plan to the store.
In cPanel, open Softaculous, select OpenCart, enter your domain, store details and a strong admin password, then install. It usually takes a few clicks and needs no manual upload. OpenCart's own documentation lists Softaculous as the easiest installation method.
The official OpenCart site runs a marketplace of modules and themes covering payments, shipping, marketing and design. Install only trusted extensions, and keep them updated alongside the core software.
Yes. OpenCart is open-source software released under the GPL-3.0 license, so there are no software fees — you only pay for your Hostripples hosting plan.
Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run OpenCart alongside other apps in its category (E-Commerce), such as AbanteCart and WHMCS, plus hundreds of other applications, subject to your plan's resources. You can add each app on its own domain or subdomain and upgrade to a larger plan at any time.
A moderate application like OpenCart runs comfortably on the Smart or Business plan; you can upgrade whenever your traffic or content grows.
Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.
