nopCommerce is an open-source eCommerce solution[buzzword] based on Microsoft's ASP.NET Core framework and MS SQL Server 2012 (or higher) backend Database. It provides a catalog frontend and an administration tool backend, allowing shopping cart creation. It is available under the nopCommerce Public License V3 and officially launched in October 2008 for small to medium-sized businesses.

History

nopСommerce development started in 2008 by Andrei Mazulnitsyn in Yaroslavl, Russia.[2] In 2009, Nop Solutions was founded and expanded to a company of two, with offices in Yaroslavl, Russia.[citation needed] Later that year, Microsoft recognized nopCommerce as significant and included it with Microsoft's Web platform Installer.[3]

The first versions introduced basic functionality such as order processing, attributes, plugins, discounts, tier pricing, news, blogs, private messages, forums, tax and shipping support. In June 2010, a new data access layer was introduced in version 1.70. Version 2.00 (August 2011) launched nopCommerce as an ASP.NET MVC based solution.[buzzword] Later in 2011 nopCommerce moved to ASP.NET MVC 4. Versions 3.00 and 3.10 were extended to include multi-store and multi-vendor features and to simplify the product logic. In versions 3.50, 3.60 and 3.70 a modern and responsive template were included. Version 3.80 was released with a brand new and responsive admin area with basic and advanced views and with the capability to run in web farms. Version 3.90 contains significant improvements in marketing and content management functionality, in performance optimization, and in the admin area UI and UX. In version 4.00 nopCommerce was moved to ASP.NET Core 2.0. Starting from version 4.20, the platform provides support of UNIX-based systems, and since version 4.30 it supports MySQL. The version release cycle is 7-8 months.
