E-shop Development with OpenCart

Unlimited products and categories

If your e-shop is going to host thousands of products, then OpenCart is definitely the right partner for you. With its MegaMenu, advanced filters, and smart search features, no matter how many products you have, browsing will always be easy and efficient.

It’s lightning fast!

With its clean, high-quality code, it performs every task at remarkable speed. Speed is crucial — both for your e-shop visitors and for your ranking in Google search results!

It’s reliable!

Its solid and reliable design ensures that every process is completed exactly as it should. You can rest assured that your e-shop will never lose an order due to an error at any point in the customer transaction.

Excellent built-in e-shop features!

Right out of the box, it offers exactly the features you need — and more. It’s one of the most complete e-shop solutions available in the e-commerce market.

It’s highly expandable!

You can start affordably with just its core features — which are already more than sufficient — and then gradually add new functionalities as your needs evolve. Choose from around 13,000 existing extensions or ask us to develop a custom solution tailored exclusively for you!

Features that make it stand out:

Boost your sales with a dynamic e-shop built on OpenCart or WordPress with WooCommerce! Enjoy fast development, easy management, and endless customization options for your business — whether you prefer the full flexibility of OpenCart or the power and scalability of WooCommerce. Start today and watch your success take off!

Flexible and personalized product pricing:

In e-shop development with WordPress and WooCommerce, you can define different customer groups with customized pricing lists. There’s also the option for automatic customer group changes (for example, from Registered to VIP) based on their total spending.

Easy Multilingual Support

Within the same product or category editing tab, you can add all the necessary languages, making your e-shop bilingual or multilingual quickly and with minimal extra effort.

Global Reach

Automatic shipping cost calculation worldwide, country-specific tax settings, full multilingual support, and the ability to use all available currencies with automatic exchange rate updates! How much further can your business horizons expand?

Flexible and easy attribute assignment

Both OpenCart and WordPress with WooCommerce allow you to assign different attributes to each product — such as size, color, four-door/two-door, engine capacity, horsepower, or anything else you may need — with each attribute dynamically affecting the product’s final price in the cart.

E-shop Development with Top-Tier Specifications

Mobile firendly E-Shop - Responsive Design

All e-shops developed by Firstidea are fully responsive — 100% mobile-friendly.
With the rapid increase in mobile device usage for web browsing, it’s absolutely essential that visitors can navigate your e-shop easily from any device, whether it’s a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. All the website’s content automatically adjusts to the screen size, rearranging elements so that everything remains within view and perfectly readable.

Social Media Friendly Eshop

We connect your e-shop with all popular social networks and create the corresponding accounts for you if you don’t already have them.
We also add easy social sharing buttons, allowing visitors to share your content with just one click — helping you attract even more traffic and potential customers.

Automatic shipping cost calculation

Your e-shop will be able to automatically calculate shipping costs based on various parameters that we define according to your specific needs.
For example, it can calculate costs depending on the recipient’s address and the item’s volume or weight. Alternatively, it can be configured to calculate based on the item’s value or any other method you require.
Shipping calculations can also be extended on a global scale, in case your e-shop serves customers outside of Greece.

Multiple payment methods

At Firstidea, we can integrate all possible payment methods — both popular and niche — into the e-shops we build.
You can accept payments via cash on delivery, PayPal, and bank transfers, as well as credit cards through Greek banks, either in full or in installments.
We can also integrate alternative payment systems that are less common in Greece, such as Skrill, Klarna, and many more.

Impressive and detailed e-shop product presentation

Proper product presentation is what makes your e-shop stand out from the competition — especially when your products are branded items sold across many online stores.

The product descriptions in the e-shops developed by Firstidea are designed to be as impressive as possible and can be enriched with:

  • Product videos
  • Photo galleries
  • Dynamic zoom effects
  • Tabs for structured detail sections
  • Sliders
  • Related products
  • Promotional banners and calls to action

Live Chat & News Letter

We want you to stay connected with your customers and build personal relationships! That’s why every e-shop built by Firstidea includes both a Live Chat system and an email collection feature for maintaining contact through Newsletters.
The systems we use are so advanced that they allow real-time tracking of your e-shop’s activity, as well as the automatic generation of newsletters featuring your latest products!

Product reviews from your e-shop customers

To enhance customer engagement, we integrate a fully administrator-controlled product review system into your e-shop.
Customers can visit your e-shop, rate the products they’ve purchased, and leave their feedback or comments.

Special product categories such as Bestsellers, New Arrivals, and more

Firstidea e-shops include special product categories that can be updated either automatically — such as New or Bestsellers — or manually by the administrator, selecting which items should appear in categories like Special, Featured, and more.

Easy Checkout and real-time order status tracking

The checkout process must be as simple as possible so that customers aren’t discouraged from completing their orders!
All Firstidea e-shops are built with a One Page Checkout system, meaning all necessary purchase information is filled out on a single page — a method proven to increase conversion rates.

Multiple product search filters

We want your customers to easily find the products they’re looking for among the thousands your e-shop may offer.
That’s why we use advanced Ajax-powered filters, allowing users to narrow down exactly what they’re searching for in just a few clicks — for example, a red short-sleeve printed T-shirt priced between €60 and €70!

E-shop integration with Skroutz & BestPrice

We can create a custom integration file connecting your online store with all major price comparison platforms, such as Skroutz and BestPrice.
This is something we strongly recommend, as it has proven to be one of the most effective ways to promote an e-shop.

E-shop Performance Optimization

After completing the development of your e-shop, we take it through a strict phase of configuration and optimization in all areas.
We optimize its speed, security, and potential for high Google rankings using highly specialized methods that very few web developers follow! You can learn more about our optimization process here: Website Optimization
