How to create an online store on 1C-Bitrix?

Question

1C-Bitrix

I got a job as a content manager in a company that sells optics wholesale and retail. My main task is to create two online stores: one retail for individuals and the other wholesale for businesses. Before that, they tried to create a website for several years, but the result was so-so. Their site is a complete slag from design to functionality. Now, the questions I need answers to:

1C integration with a site on 1C-Bitrix
I raise the issue of switching to "Trade Management", and our 1C-shnik tells me that "Accounting" is normally integrated with the site, but "Retail" will not be integrated. You need to finish it or set up an exchange with "Accounting". It is not clear to me krch, I have never dealt with 1C. Can you enlighten me? Should I switch to Trade Management? How do they differ from the point of view of an online store? And what will be the benefits?

Setting up a product catalog
When our 1C-shnik integrated the product catalog from 1C-Accounting, I encountered such a problem that the name of the products does not suit me, the products are not sorted by brand, prices are not indicated, characteristics (Value of properties) are not indicated.

I started sorting products by brands (sections).

And then our 1C-shnik tells me that with each unloading of goods from 1C, all changes will be reset. Is it so? That is, I first need to put in order the catalog of goods with 1C, and then only integrate them?

Should I renew my license?
The company purchased "1C-Bitrix: Site Management" tariff "Business". The license expired in 2019. Is it necessary to renew it? Is it possible to create an online store without it?

Have you thought about selling through marketplaces? Why do you need your store and all the hemorrhoids that comes with it as a trailer?

To do this, you will need to conclude an agreement for the development of the project with a company that has specialists in 1C-Bitrix! What makes you think you can do it yourself? As you have already seen, even putting the list of goods in order is a difficult task - therefore, it is better to do everything right from the very beginning, under the guidance of professionals.
I raise the issue of switching to "Trade Management", and our 1C manager tells me that "Accounting" is also normal?!
And where does "trade management" in general? Data can be loaded even from an Excel file. The main thing is to correctly configure Bitrix and prepare this data. So that you do not have to sort every time.
Should I renew my license?
Without constant consultations with a Bitrix programmer, such a project is not even worth starting. If you do not have it, any little thing will easily ruin all your efforts. Starting from the expired license, ending with the wrong sorting.

Answer 3

Well, this is a question from the category: I have never played football, now I have been assigned to coach the national team in order to take it to the World Cup final. The goalkeeper is one-legged. Do I need to replace it? Should the attacker be paid? Or maybe even without them?
If you want to get something worthwhile, you need to switch to UT11, renew the license, update, get the 1C nickname fired, since he does not understand the nuances of inventory control and the difference between configurations, put the information base in order and hire qualified integrators.

Run from there. There will be no sense from them.
