Administration panel | Opencart’s administration panel is easy enough to use, it does include a number of dead-ends and odd design decisions which can make simple tasks a frustrating experience. | Prestashop’s administration are felt a lot nicer than that of Opencart, but there were still a number of deadends/irritating omissions you would expect from a fairly young open source project. | ||||||
Theme | Opencart’s default theme improved drastically between version 1.4 and 1.5, though it is still fairly primitive in terms of abstraction of data. | Again, Prestashop felt more developed in this respect, with the default theme being a little more attractive. | ||||||
