Lazy-loaded images, minified assets, and caching-friendly Twig templates.

Conversion Layouts

Strategic product grids, trust badges, and sticky add-to-cart on product pages.

One Admin, Multiple Storefronts

OpenCart's multi-store feature lets you run separate brands, regional shops, or B2B/B2C channels from a single installation — shared catalog or independent product lines, each with its own domain, currency, and theme.

  • Separate domains — fashion.brand.com and wholesale.brand.com from one backend.
  • Per-store themes — different branding and layouts per storefront.
  • Currency & language — localized checkout per store without duplicate installs.

Payment & Shipping Integrations for India

We configure Indian payment gateways and logistics partners so checkout works for your customers and reconciliation stays simple in admin.
