Background The founder of Everbright Network Technology discovered the original English version of OpenCart, an open source e-commerce independent website building system, from the Internet in 2010. After careful comparison, OpenCart is easier to use and maintain than other similar systems. At the same time, the system has excellent performance, security and stability, and clear and standardized code. Out of the goal and ideal of allowing more Chinese people to recognize and use open source software, the founder of Everbright Network Technology introduced this system from abroad.
In order to make this easy-to-use and free e-commerce independent website building system be used by more Chinese sellers. Based on the original English version of the OpenCart independent website building system, the founder of Everbright Network Technology and his team continued to carry out secondary development and functional expansion of the system based on the usage habits of Chinese users, gradually forming the OpenCart Chinese independent website building system.
