How OpenCart & Truly Legit Are Transforming Trust in e-Commerce

In a world where online shopping has become second nature, there’s one thing that can make or break a transaction—trust. Customers expect a seamless experience, and part of that expectation is the assurance that their personal and financial information is safe. But what happens when trust is missing?

Nearly 25% of online shoppers abandon their carts due to concerns over the site’s security or credibility.

It’s not the product that’s the issue—it’s the fear that something could go wrong after clicking "Buy."

So how do businesses overcome this challenge and create an online environment that fosters trust, encourages purchases, and builds customer loyalty?

That’s where OpenCart’s collaboration with Truly Legit comes into play.

Building Trust Online: The OpenCart and Truly Legit Partnership

Here at OpenCart, as one of the leading open-source eCommerce platforms, we understand the critical need for businesses to foster trust with their customers. Through our partnership with Truly Legit, we’re introducing a solution that addresses this challenge head-on.

Truly Legit’s technology focuses on building trust by enabling OpenCart merchants to showcase their credibility and transparency. Through verification badges, secure payment options, and clear communication of business practices, Truly Legit helps eliminate the uncertainty that prevents customers from completing their purchases.

These verification badges are seamlessly integrated into OpenCart’s platform, providing visible assurance at key stages of the shopping experience—whether while browsing products or at the checkout stage. By clearly communicating that a business is legitimate, customers are more likely to feel confident and follow through with their purchases.

What This Partnership Means for OpenCart Merchants: Competitive Edge

With 26.6 million eCommerce sites in 2024—a 3.83% increase from last year—competition is growing daily. Simply having an online store is no longer enough for OpenCart merchants. To succeed, you need to stand out, and one of the most effective ways to do this is by building trust.

Shoppers today are cautious and need assurance that they’re buying from a secure, credible business. This is where Truly Legit comes in. Studies show that 61% of consumers are more likely to complete a purchase after seeing a Truly Legit verification badge on a website. That means more than half of your potential customers could be influenced just by seeing this simple but powerful trust signal.
