Partial.ly extension for OpenCart: Now more support for open source ecommerce webstores
Plug payment plans easily into OpenCart ecommerce websites
Open source software is very popular with web developers that build ecommerce stores. In part, this is because it accelerates the ‘go live’ timeframe allowing a faster time to market. Also, when compared with those developed on proprietary platforms, it enables the costs of website development projects to be reduced.
Extending our support and integration for the open source ecommerce community, we are now very pleased to announce the Partial.ly extension for OpenCart online stores. This is yet another one of the exciting developments at Partial.ly, new for 2018.
We recently announced the release of Partial.ly integration tools for other ecommerce platforms. Dedicated functionality for OpenCart demonstrates our continuing support and expanding commitment to helping as much of the ecommerce community as possible to increase sales and drive growth.
Payment Plans need to be easy to understand, preventing customer confusion about the plan terms which might lead to poor online shopping experiences. Partial.ly preserves all of the normal features you currently provide at the checkout. This includes important elements like using coupon codes, native shipping and tax settings, and shipping cost calculations.
Two ways to offer OpenCart payment plans with Partial.ly
Use Partial.ly as a payment option in the normal OpenCart checkout
Using this method, Partial.ly appears as part of the normal checkout process when a customer has places in the cart and then wants to checkout.
Use a Partial.ly checkout button on OpenCart product pages
You can also choose to suggest using Partial.ly payment plans earlier in the shipping process by displaying Partial.ly options on your product pages from where customers can then directly checkout.
Similar to our other ecommerce platform integrations, there's a host of customization options available, such as:
- Custom styling for the way Partial.ly appears on product pages and at the checkout
- Opting for custom or dynamic text for the widget
To get going with Partial.ly payment plans on your OpenCart site, it's simple. You just need to download our extension from the OpenCart marketplace. Of course, if you are using OpenCart version 3 or greater, simply install from the OpenCart admin using the marketplace installer.
We advise looking at the OpenCart support thread before you start, but it should pose no problems for experienced OpenCart website developers. We have detailed instructions to simplify the Partial.ly integration with OpenCart for you code jockeys out there.
Remember, if you need assistance, our support is always here to lend a hand.
