Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OpenCart 4 and OpenCart 3?
OpenCart 4 is the latest official version with PHP 8 support. OpenCart 3 is the previous version, which is not much different from 4 and is still relevant today. Only for OpenCart 3 you can find extensions and templates (for version 4, extensions are not being created)
Which version should I choose?
If you need the latest official version with PHP 8 support — choose OpenCart 4, but be prepared to develop functionality without using ready-made solutions.
Are modules from OpenCart 3 compatible with OpenCart 4?
No, OpenCart 4 uses a different architecture and module system. Modules need to be adapted for OC 4.
What version of PHP is required?
OpenCart 4 supports PHP up to 8.5 (currently stable on 7.4+). OpenCart 3 works up to PHP 7.4. Check your hosting PHP version before installation.
Can I switch from OpenCart 3 to OpenCart 4?
There is no automatic migration tool. You will need to manually transfer data (products, categories, customers). All modules from version 3 will have to be created for version 4 on your own.
Where can I download extensions?
