Which opencart build for an online store should I choose?

Question

opencart

Good time inhabitants! Quite recently, I faced the task of quickly launching an online store, my decision was to put some kind of assembly in order not to bother with setting up a bare version of Opencart out of the box. The choice fell on the OcStore, Maxystore and Brocart assemblies. I am considering the latest version of the brocard, which is based on OC 1.5.5.1, for me this is a priority option now. Ocstore likes 1.5.6.1 better, but it still takes a lot of sweat to set up, and I have a maximum of a week, so this option seems to be out. But MaxyStore is generally a dark horse for me, I read about it that this is a UG assembly and the author is "inadequate" there, but that was in 2012-2013, how is the situation now? Since the main part of the business is offline, the budget for an online store is limited to the purchase of hosting, a domain and a template, you need a version, where you can easily find basic free modules. I would also like to see a brief description for each assembly from experts in this matter.
So the point is: MaxyStore v.2.0.3.1 vs OcStore 1.5.6.1 vs Brocart v. 3.0.7 (opencart 1.5.5.1) which is better?

Answer 1

I personally use ocStore assemblies

Answer 2

MaxyStore seems to have become paid, no? Maybe, of course, due to this, their assemblies need to be finished less, but it’s not so difficult to do it yourself.
In principle, if you don’t have any special plans for the site, then it will be easier to take OcStore 1.5.6.1 (I actively use it myself), after all, this version has already been thoroughly studied by the community and most problems (if any) are treated by Google. And the engine itself in OcStore is not shoveled as much as in other assemblies, hence there are fewer problems with extensions.
But, if I personally had to start from scratch, then I would immediately choose the 2.x version. Firstly, it is quickly gaining relevance, and secondly, I began to notice interesting mods for it, analogues, which under 1.5 are either paid or completely absent.

Answer 3

Choose 2.1x
I don't see any problems with add-ons. What is missing, the developers plan to transfer.
As for the assembly, I can recommend our assembly opencart-russia.ru
Unlike many others, it is correctly Russified, unnecessary files and data for the Russian Federation and the CIS have been removed, system files have not been changed, and therefore there are no conflicts with add-ons.
Any other assembly is the same opencart, but with modified system files and supplemented with various additions, which usually leads to conflicts. And developers are not very fond of looking for compatibility issues, especially if the developer is "imported".

Answer 4

opencart.pro

Answer 5

Friends, a fresh version of brocart 3.1.5 has been released, which is written on opencart version 3, faster and more SEO optimized can not be found in any of the above, even paid ones, look and test for yourself on a demo (access like bro\demo)
