Top 5 free OpenCart Extensions

Posted by AlexDobson on October 11, 2018

There are many different OpenCart extensions that range from $20 to $120 that cover a wide range of scenarios that can help your business. If OpenCart does not have an extension that suits your business needs then you can always get an OpenCart development company, such as ourselves, to build a customised extension. This pricing can vary depending on how complex the extension is to develop. However in this blog I am going to focus on our top 5 free extensions that OpenCart offers.

Antropy Error Log Trimmer- This extension will stop your log files from growing too large. Every time you sign into the admin area, it will automatically check the sizes of all the log files within the /system/logs/ directory. Without this extension, it's possible over time for your error log file to grow so large that it crashes PHP and your site will just display a blank screen. This is a very difficult issue to track down because most servers will just show "500 Internal Server Error" and won't even give you a file name or any clues about the actual error. https://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=marketplace/extension/info&extension_id=25968&filter_search=antropy&sort=price

Custom text on product pages- this helps to add extra information for free and more benifically supports multiple languages. https://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=marketplace/extension/info&extension_id=27633&filter_license=0&filter_member=cartbinder

Automatic Next Option Scroll for Product Options- Automatic option scroll for the product is a tiny free opencart extension by cartbinder.com. It provides automatic scrolling to next option as the user selects the option on products. Besides, when customer clicks add to cart without selecting options, it will scroll to the error automatically. https://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=marketplace/extension/info&extension_id=25191&filter_license=0&filter_member=cartbinder

Apply coupon code at checkout page- If you are using default checkout system, coupon cannot be added to the checkout page. This extension helps you to add new block under payment method for applying coupon. Once you apply the coupon, the success and error message is displayed in the same step. This has been tested on default theme with default opencart checkout. https://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=marketplace/extension/info&extension_id=26971&filter_license=0&filter_member=cartbinder

Hitachi Capital Pay by Finance- This extension integrates OpenCart with Hitachi Capital and allows users to make large orders and then repay the balance in monthly payments. This is a very useful extension as it gives your customers another option when buying a product. https://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=marketplace/extension/info&extension_id=8101&filter_search=antropy&sort=price

If you need any help installing these free extension then we would be more than happy to help. If you have any questions about this then please do give me an email at alex.dobson@antropy.co.uk.

Testimonials

Antropy not only gave freely of their time to talk with me, they had the patience to teach me as we went along. They came up with various ideas that allowed me to choose what I liked best and with their guidance we got exactly the website we dreamed about.

David, RC Geeks

Firstly, thanks ever so much to you and your team for getting these two sites up and running. It’s a pleasure to work with people who are so helpful and responsive to our requirements. We’re very happy with both sites and all seems to be working fine.

Aidan, Nauticalia

Just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help and support thus far. You've been absolutely brilliant. You've given me absolute confidence that when there is a problem it is sorted which really gives me peace of mind.

Tracy, FLUX

After many years of trying to update my website, dealing with problematic code, delays, etc, I found Antropy about 10 years ago. I can not say enough great things about the quality of their coding and stability of my website along with the professionalism of their staff. I now have a well functioning website that has stood the test of time. Our site is an e-commerce site so that having it up and running is crucial to our business. On the rare occasion that there is a problem with the site, Antropy's team is quick and responsive to finding the problem and fixing it quickly.

Lynn Reznick, Off The Mark

Jamie Chandler, Newvotek

We worked with Antropy on our new webshop at kikgoes.nl in the past months. We have enjoyed working with them because of their extensive knowledge of Opencart and the rapid pace of development. We regularly added requirements to the projects and we've never had anything that couldn't be done. We look forward to working with Antropy again for new projects or adjustments to our webshop!

Joël van Daalen, Kik Cycleparts

We found Antropy to be very responsive and approachable to work with. They gladly took our own designs and transformed them into an easy-to-manage website. Communication was easy and any requests for change were promptly done. Many thanks for the work!

John Caiger, Matraxis

Merged two previously HUGE separate sites (website and webstore) into one streamlined website with integrated store, with improved social media and mailing list results. Joe helped communicate complicated jargon into simpler terms, solved issues/queries quickly, and the follow up support has been invaluable.

Jo, Cold Spring Records

Excellent work, delivered in a friendly and consultative way throughout the whole process. For a small company such as my own it was great to be guided through the process, and all my requests were responded to and I felt involved from start to finish.

Phil Saville, Rook Systems

We recently started using Antropy for our OpenCart website as internal IT is swamped and we needed back up and they have been great. Work is quick and efficient, we never need to ask for something twice and communication is good. Gives us confidence that when we need something to be done, it will be and to a high standard.

Dominic Old, The Wasabi Company

Thanks again for all your hard work on the 3D renders … the results have been fantastic and I look forward to working together again in the future.

Kim, Kimberley-Jane: Design

Thank you all for the hard work, it has paid off, it looks good. The logo is great to promote the practice and the website we can be proud of. Thank you again.

Biddy Arnott, Group Analytic Practice Ltd

Very impressed with the quick service! There is nothing more we need help with right now but we would certainly use you in the future for other issues or alterations we may have. Thank you very much!

Jemma, Aquafayre

The deliveries are now incredibly clear and there is no more admin work on this side which is excellent. It’s amazing really and I think our customers enjoy knowing exactly when they are getting it unlike nearly every other furniture company out there! Thanks for this.

Jonathan Haskins, Get Laid Beds
