The first reason why web developers have come to love nopCommerce is its ease of installation. Setup is extremely quick and the software is up and running within minutes. The software comes free and can be downloaded from the internet. It has mobile device support and one can add unlimited amount of products into the software. It supports both categories and manufacturers and any number of subcategories can be added.

A single product can be mapped onto multiple categories and this is great because often certain products tend to fall under 2 or more categories. It provides for anonymous checkout which is great for people who don't wish to divulge their personal information and the checkout also comprises of just one single page which ensures that visitors aren't heckled that in turn lead to greater conversions. It offers both multilingual and multicurrency support both of which are extremely cool add ons especially if you are looking to build a global e-commerce brand.

Real time currency exchange rates also ensure that consumers know exactly how much they are paying for in their own currency. The database can also be exported or import in an XML or Excel which at times can be really useful.
