Latest Release of OpenCart 1.5.3 Framework Kicks up the E-Commerce Tool Market: NY Tech Firm Announces Special Upgrade Services

Infinite demands. Empowering solutions.

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 23, 2012

Online business and marketing have come a long way from its initial phase of limited features and resource availability. Users expect much more sophistication, compatibility and functionality in web portals. When compared to other e-Commerce tools, OpenCart always offered a visually attractive interface and other brilliant features appropriate for small and mid level businesses.

But OpenCart mostly fell out of favor with large businesses and operations due its poor template engine.

Highlights of the upgraded OpenCart

    Vat Rate lookup API( compatible with all countries implementing VAT)
    CKEditor( for instant edit of WebPages)
    Better template engine
    Option of manual approval of certain customer group choices.
    jQuery (WebPages have more options like multi-level menus, slideshows and other effects)

To deliver on all platforms that they fell short, OpenCart has now released an upgraded version, which features enhanced capabilities for businesses worldwide. The new version OpenCart 1.5.3 offers many high-end features including Vat Rate lookup API, separate tax ID fields, CKEditor (for editing WebPages with ease) limit, and best of them all jquery integration.

“The market was dominated by Zencart, Magento, Prestashop, OsCommerce and VirtueMart. But these tools weren’t compatible for global operations, they were more suited to North American markets. This is where OpenCart scores as a brilliant e-Commerce framework. For instance VAT and other tax details are vital for online business in European countries along with some Asian countries like India and China. The VAT rate lookup API setting in the upgraded OpenCart lets developers implement tax settings for different countries with ease,” says Vinod Subbaiah, CEO of Asahi Technologies.

“Also OpenCart efficiently addresses site loading time issues, which websites face while implementing Magento, Zencart and OsCommerce,” continued Vinod on the completeness and compatibility of OpenCart for businesses.
