Comparing nopCommerce 4.70 and 4.80 reveals a crucial difference: the underlying technology. Version 4.80 upgrades to .NET 8 (Long-Term Support), offering significant performance boosts, enhanced security, and extended support until late 2026. This contrasts with 4.70's .NET 7, which is no longer supported. While 4.80 also features updated design frameworks, the move to .NET 8 is the primary reason it's faster, more secure, and the recommended choice for new stores or for upgrading existing 4.70 sites, despite the necessary updates to plugins and themes.
