Zooming Product Images on OpenCart


As I sell the Shiroi Koibito and Japanese Gifts, images are one of the main components that I would like to show with best quality possible.

There are many weak points about OpenCart as software overall, and one of them is how the images are shown to the end-user; it only comes with very basic image control.  

Since openCart has introduced the 2.0 version, many \developers are catching up with cool add-ons that were available in the 1.x version. (You can read my earlier blog about OpenCart when it first launched v2.0.) Now there are a lot more options for purchasing add-ons to make the site better.  I have used Magic Zoom Plus for this purpose.  For $50 or less, the add-on allows a mouse-over with zoom like on Amazon which is very nice.

Hoping that a little touch like this give end-user better experience.
