How to explain to the customer that a ready-made solution for an online store is bad?

The subject such is the customer from freelancing.
Wants an Internet store with a binding payment system. I say 55-60k for everything about everything.
He says dofiga take for an online store.
Throws a link to some guys who offer for 10k (like a ready-made solution).
So how can I explain to him something, a ready-made solution, that a ready-made solution is how to say shitty and a self-written online store is always better?

I will give you the only correct answer:
If the potential author himself does not know why his potential self-written online store is better than the others, then he is no better.
There is no other way, no way at all.

Well, self-writing is not always better)) But you can motivate by the fact that there is extra functionality there, but there is no necessary one, and you still have to add it later separately and pay money. Also, that store may have its own structure that is not suitable for your product characteristics, a bad photo slider, etc.
PS The customer is not yours, I think he will jump off anyway ...

If you yourself do not know why your solution is better, then how will you convince the customer of this?
Find the advantages of your solution, describe them for the customer.
Nobody but you knows why you are better than those guys for 10k.
The formula is simple:
- Reveal your advantages
- Provide them to the customer
- Get an order
- ???
- Profit!
For example like this:

Yes, you're right, those guys are really cheaper.
These guys provide you with a template store, with a template design and little functionality.
I offer a more expensive and high-quality solution for online stores:
- Unique design for your brand
- Development of the functionality you need, taking into account your business requirements.
- Individual approach and high-quality product support at all stages of its existence.
- Improvements on demand.
- The 50,000 stage also includes the following: a, b, c ...
- Blah blah blah

There are some customers who do not care about uniqueness. They will be ready to buy a template on one of the exchanges for a penny, but get the result they need.
No need to try to convince them. So you have 2 options:
1. Refuse
2. Sell your ready-made solution to him for the same 10k. (buy a design + layout on the stock exchange + link it to some ready-made CMS from an Internet store and that's it).

Try to explain all the benefits of an individual approach.

I didn’t see the solution for 10k on the link, for 14,900, according to the description, it’s not “shitty” at all. Do you seriously want to rewrite all this by hand? ooh why?
and where did the opinion that "a self-written online store is always better" come from?

Didn't find what you were looking for?
