Is it possible to use Magento for an online store in Russia?

Question

Magento

Hello. I have been reading Toaster for a long time, I already know active users who respond. For the last 3 years I have been working for UpWork and have lagged behind the Russian reality of ecommerce web development.
Recently, the task arose to make an online store for a Russian-speaking audience. I'm thinking of using Magento, but I doubt about integration with Russian payment systems and 1C similar programs. Guru, share your experience of implementing and using Magento in Russia.
I also know there is a search problem in Magento. That is, the built-in search is rather weak, for the English version you have to use a paid extension. How are things with the Russian version?

Answer 1

All integrations already exist, of course you have to pay for each module. There is a problem with "stupid" native search, but it scares only inexperienced developers, the language is also not a problem. If you have not worked with Magento before, then you should first get to know it closely, do not underestimate this engine.
As for the Russian assembly, read the reviews carefully, especially the developers who had to get rid of this "assembly" in the end and choose your path :) Good luck.
