NopCommerce Development Company

NopCommerce is an open source platform that helps businesses establish and run their stores in the ecommerce market. It is worth noting that the service is based on cross-platform .NET Core, which enriches customer experience, as it supports multiple devices and operating systems.

A nopCommerce developer can craft online shops for startups, small and midsize businesses, as well as enterprises, and all of them will serve the companies equally well. This ability to cater to the needs of any client is the outcome of the product's extensibility. You are free to use a myriad of built-in plugins and widgets to grow your store (nopCommerce plugin development also lets you add extra functionalities that you have crafted yourself). An ecommerce solution developed with the help of this open source product lets you implement any idea with ease, speed, and financial advantage.

This open source ecommerce platform was first released in 2008. Back then, it was built on Web Forms, but later on it was moved to MVC. Currently, it is based on the ASP.NET Core framework and SQL Server backend database. The functionality that it supports (as well as the functionality that it encourages businesses to create) makes it possible for ecommerce businesses to deliver an engaging shopping experience with no scalability limitations.

Both plugins and widgets extend the functionality of a store built with nopCommerce, and development processes of the two are mostly the same. It's best to think of the latter as “a superset of plugins”, as the nopCommerce website suggests, since widgets include a user interface element that plugins do not deliver. The UI element allows widgets to be showcased to the audience in specific areas of a website (predefined by nopCommerce), known as widget zones. Consequently, the widget's role is to help your online store stand out and get a more refined outlook.

Though it is difficult to estimate the exact number of ecommerce websites on the Internet, one thing is certain: it's no less than 12 million. While the majority is built on such giants as Shopfiy, Magento, and WooCommerce, over 60,000 stores are powered by nopCommerce. They operate successfully in more than 100 countries worldwide, supporting various currencies, payment and shipping methods, etc.

The nopCommerce website provides extensive guides (like this one), as well as community support to those willing to customize a store on their own. Since the product is open source, you can find all of their documentation in free access online.

The ecommerce domain is extremely complex. It constantly shape-shifts because customer demands transform. Technology that makes its existence possible evolves, too, as it is the means to deliver what users crave.

The domain revolves around buying and selling goods online, which involves development and management of things like product catalogs, payment gateways, security requirements, customer accounts, shopping carts, etc., and we haven't even come close to building an actual system to contain all that.

Ecommerce comes hand in hand with handling user data and money, hence, you have to make sure they are up to the task to avoid reputational and financial losses. Without a deep knowledge of the domain and technical intricacies of the nopCommerce development process, it might be a huge challenge and an enormous risk to work on the project yourself.
