AI features and automation for OpenCart webshops
More than a decade of OpenCart expertise — custom modules, version upgrades and AI features in your existing store.
We design the AI feature and data connection your existing OpenCart webshop needs. First we check the system version, the active modules and the availability of product data. This determines how the chatbot or the preparation of product descriptions can be integrated.
CP unique-tech Kft. has been working with OpenCart since 2012: from version 1.5 to the latest 4.x, we have worked with every major version on live projects. We have built and migrated webshops with tens of thousands of products and still operate them today — including one that handles a high volume of orders every day (e.g. MXGuards.com).
What we develop
We have long-term, production-grade experience in the following areas.
01Custom module development
Custom extensions written in PHP / MVC: import-export modules, ERP synchronization, custom payment and shipping modules, custom admin reports, automations.
02Custom themes and frontend
Responsive, mobile-first OpenCart themes with custom design. Twig templates, modern CSS, fast page loads, high conversion rates.
03Version migration
OpenCart 1.5 → 2.x → 3.x → 4.x data-preserving migration. Products, categories, customers, orders, module configurations transferred. Validated in a staging environment.
04Performance optimization
Database indexing, Redis / Memcached caching, lazy loading, image optimization (WebP / AVIF), CDN integration, query optimization. Tenfold speed increases are typical.

Frequently asked questions
How much does OpenCart webshop development cost?
The cost depends on project complexity: a basic webshop with a template theme starts around €1,000-2,000; with custom design and integrations, €4,000-13,000; complex B2B or large-catalog webshops typically range from €13,000 to €40,000. We can provide an exact quote after assessment.
Is it still worth choosing OpenCart in 2026?
Yes, if you need a stable, well-documented, GDPR-compliant and extensible system. OpenCart 4.x is built on modern PHP 8, performs well, and — unlike Shopify — has no monthly platform fees, and your data stays on your own server.
Can you migrate an old OpenCart 1.5 to the latest version?
Yes. We have completed dozens of 1.5 → 4.x migrations. The process first validates the entire data structure, runs the migration in a staging environment, and only goes live after validation. The risk of data loss is virtually zero.
How long does an average OpenCart project take?
A simple webshop with a template theme takes 2-4 weeks; with custom design and a few integrations, 6-10 weeks; a complex B2B project, 3-6 months.
Why OpenCart and not Shopify / WooCommerce?
OpenCart = own data, no monthly platform fees, full customizability, EU GDPR compliance. Shopify = good for fast launches, but has monthly fees and is less customizable. WooCommerce = good for small webshops, but performance issues with large catalogs. We provide tailored advice after assessment.
