Joomla or Wordpress?

Question

Joomla

Good day everyone.
I have a need to create a simple online store.
Once upon a time, about 5 years ago, I already did something similar on a bunch of Joomla3 + JoomShopping. But since then a lot of water has flowed under the bridge and I decided to ask you. And how are things in this area with these CMS?

What do I want to end up with?
1) Product gallery.
2) The ability to make a selection according to the parameters of the product (color, size, etc.)
3) The ability to customize the appearance of the whole thing for yourself.
4) Cart with sending notification of the order to the administrator.
5) In the future, tie acquiring from Tinkoff, Yukassa, Sberbank or something like that.
6) Well, in general, in the future, start this business with 1C to unload the leftovers.

I'm not asking you to tell me everything step by step, what and how to do, I'm interested in the personal experience of the community members, who implemented this on what, and what could be the pitfalls? Otherwise, it might be better to look in the direction of OpenCart or ModX, with which I have practically no experience. Just like with WordPress.
This is where the question was born from. Maybe in matters of online stores on joomla everything is dead for a long time, and WordPress is the only right solution? Or maybe vice versa?

Answer 1

I have a dozen stores on Woocommerce, Joomshoping, Bitrix on support. In general, I will say this, there is not much difference, in good hands everything can be done on any platform. In terms of tools, extensions, everything depends on the project. In terms of support, Joomla stores work more stable, there are really fewer questions from customers about them. Woocommerce is also not bad, but when adding additional plugins, conflicts and problems with new versions often arise, it is difficult to debug them, and I am also annoyed by the abundance of advertising from plugins in the admin panel. Bitrix from another league, but simply because it is completely paid. Of its shortcomings, speed and support, you can correspond with support for weeks, then in the end it turns out that they re-uploaded the core to you and everything worked.

Answer 2

It all depends on which toolkit you are best at, + how big the community of this solution is.
Not to say that I'm a Joomla expert, although there is one site for support. As for me it is better to choose from:
Woocomerce\Opencart.
Pros of woocomerce:
Huge knowledge base
Many ready-made solutions
Large community.
They say that from 10,000 - 50,000+ products, optimization problems begin (did not check), in which case they opt for a more optimized opencart, if the store is not large - a great solution.
Cons:
There are security holes (but who does not have them), based on the pros higher - the higher the number of users, the faster these holes are patched (which does not prevent making new ones), but any product is like that.
You have to understand the templates and WP settings, the first one can be difficult.
Pros of opencart:
MVC structure
Quite stable third version (before that it was the 2nd, now it has settled down)
In ocstore 80% of the functionality for the store.
Bootstrap under the hood, which allows you to quickly throw on the net.
Medium size community.
Of the minuses:
Sometimes ready-made solutions are very expensive for investing money (treated - with good knowledge of PHP and writing a module from scratch for yourself)
You need to immediately choose Osctore, and know that it has more under the hood than native opencart (availability of ready-made modules and optimization for the CIS market )
As for me - not very convenient admin panel.

Answer 3

Joomla3+JoomShopping

Now everything is the same with this - they work fine, everything you want can be screwed on. So if you have experience with it, why not use it. Moreover, Joomla is significantly superior to Wordpress in terms of flexibility and security.
Not for holivore wrote)). Equally I know and work with both CMS. If the client does not care what CMS, then I always suggest Joomla.

Answer 4

You really need to look into the future, what this store will become over time, where it will develop, what tools will be needed. In terms of Joomla + JoomShopping - everything works. There are integrations and acquirings. There are extensions for mass processing of meta tags by formula, two-way integration with Bitrix24.

Answer 5

At the moment, the most popular CMS with a mature, well-protected architecture and well-developed is Joomla. And this is the best choice
