Quick Answer

We modify existing OpenCart extensions to meet your specific requirements. Add features, change behavior, or integrate extensions with your custom workflow.

Make Extensions Work Your Way

Off-the-shelf extensions cover common needs, but your business may require specific modifications. Our extension customisation service adapts existing extensions to your unique requirements without building from scratch.

Customisation Types

  • Feature Addition: Add new capabilities to existing extensions. For example, adding export functionality to a reporting extension or adding bulk operations to a product management module.
  • Behavior Modification: Change how an extension works. Modify calculation logic, alter workflow sequences, or adjust how data is processed.
  • UI/UX Changes: Modify the frontend or backend interface of an extension. Add fields, change layouts, or improve the user experience.
  • Integration: Connect an extension with other extensions or third-party services. For example, linking a CRM extension with your email marketing platform.
  • Performance Optimization: Speed up slow extensions by optimizing database queries, implementing caching, or refactoring inefficient code.

Our Process

  1. Review: We review the existing extension code and your requirements.
  2. Proposal: We outline the technical approach, timeline, and cost.
  3. Development: We implement the changes using clean coding practices.
  4. Testing: We test the modified extension thoroughly, including regression testing to ensure existing features still work.
  5. Delivery: We deploy the changes and provide documentation on what was modified.

Important Considerations

  • Customisations are made to a copy of the extension to preserve the original files.
  • Custom changes may need to be re-applied after extension updates from the original developer.
  • We recommend discussing customisation needs with the original developer first, as they may offer the feature as a standard update.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you modify any OpenCart extension?
We can modify most extensions as long as the source code is available and not encrypted. Some extensions use ionCube or similar encryption, which limits modification options. We assess this during the review phase.
Will customisations break when the extension is updated?
Possibly. When the original developer releases an update, custom modifications may need to be re-applied. We document all changes and can re-apply them to updated versions. We recommend disabling auto-updates for customised extensions.
How much does extension customisation cost?
Costs depend on complexity. Minor UI changes or simple feature additions start from $50-150. Major feature additions or behavioral changes range from $200-1,000. We provide exact quotes after reviewing the extension and requirements.
Can you add API support to an existing extension?
Yes, adding API endpoints to extensions is a common request. We can expose extension data and functionality through RESTful API endpoints that follow OpenCart API conventions.
Do you work with OCMOD or vQmod modifications?
We work with both OCMOD and vQmod, though we recommend OCMOD for modern OpenCart installations. OCMOD modifications are easier to manage and less likely to conflict with other extensions.
