ADVANCED SHOPPING CART SYSTEM

NivoCart is a powerful all-in-one shopping cart application for small and medium businesses.
It uses the MVC+L (Model-View-Controller + Language) architecture and is written in pure PHP, Html5, CSS3, jQuery.
NivoCart has been designed to be fast, completely self-contained, and without any remote dependencies.
it doesn't use a framework or a template engine, and can be easily customised.

REQUIREMENTS:

- Server: Apache Linux Server
- Database: MySQLi / MariaDB
- Extensions: OpenSSL Encrypt + cURL
- PHP: PHP 8.1+

---

INSTALLATION:

- 1 - Download the latest version of NivoCart.
- 2 - Upload the zip archive directly to your server (can be local or live).
- 3 - Unzip the archive in a temporary folder of your choice.
- 4 - Copy/Paste the content of the "upload" folder at the root of your domain.
- 5 - Find the 2 "config-dist.php" files (root and admin/) and rename them "config.php".
- 6 - Create an empty database on your server and give your username all privileges.
- 7 - Run the installer by entering "&lt;your domain&gt;/install/index.php" in your browser.
- 8 - Once you have completed the installer, simply login into your new Admin!

Note: The installation folder (install/) will be automatically deleted after a successful install.

UPGRADE:

Same as the above INSTALLATION guidelines, but without steps 5 and 6:

- Do Not overwrite your "config.php" files! ... just Skip step 5.
- No need for a new database. ... just Skip step 6.

Then, when running step 7, you will be presented with the Upgrade page instead.

Just click "Upgrade". Done!

---

SELF-CONTAINED:

While NivoCart has been designed to be fully self-contained and not relying on remote connections, there are some unavoidable exceptions to be aware of, such as:

- Payment Gateways: such as PayPal, Stripe, Klarna and Sage Pay, will initiate remote connections (as expected) to verify payments.
- Currency updates (default): once a day, NivoCart will attempt to connect to "[www.floatrates.com](http://www.floatrates.com)", to get the latest exchange rates.
- Currency updates with Alpha Vantage (optional): Alpha Vantage (Currency\_Exchange\_Rate API) is optional, but would also initiate a remote connection.
- Share This (optional): Share This is a social media sharing service integrated into NivoCart. By design, it will create a remote connection to Share This, if you choose to use it.
- YouTube (optional): Product pages and some modules can display YouTube video codes.
