On what to make a store. Bitrix or Laravel?

Question

1C-Bitrix

Need advice on approach to store development.
I am making an online store. Initially, Bitrix was chosen, because. it is necessary to ship goods from 1c UT and there is an exchange module. But besides this, there will also be loading of goods from different APIs, excel price lists, etc. With the expansion of this functionality, problems arise. You have to redo the standard modules, and this is not very easy, at least for me.
It would be more convenient for me to do this on Laravel, and I don’t need to buy a license, but I don’t know if there is a similar module, maybe someone came across it? Should I try to delve further into Bitrix or can I do everything on the lara?

Answer 1

On the chest you will write a store from scratch. Yes, you will find some modules, but the bulk will have to be written from scratch. Plus to develop structure . And besides, if the site goes to other developers, it’s not a fact that there will be with the knowledge of Lara. (a life story - they made a small site for the client on the stall. Then he quarreled with us and left. Three months later he returned - let's continue to accompany the site. Nobody knows and does not take the stall, and those who know ask for astronomical sums).
And on Bitrix you will get one of the coolest chips in terms of them, but at the same time you will fight with his jambs.
PS I would advise Bitrix. It is much simpler than the larks and has a powerful MI out of the box.

Answer 2

All in all a strange question. If you need an online store, install Bitrix. If you have a development team and an online store on Bitrix can no longer cope with the tasks, then little by little you can write your own on the framework. This is the way of all big companies.
And if initially you are already a large company and you suddenly don’t have Bitrix, well, then maybe there is a budget for development in Larovel.

Answer 3

It would be more convenient for me to do this on Laravel, and I don’t need to buy a license,

I am sure that the cost of a license is much lower than the cost of hours for the implementation of not even the same, but simply the minimum functionality is required on any framework.
The question here should not be in the price. For on Laravel it is definitely many times more expensive. The question is whether it is possible to achieve the desired result on Bitrix without dancing with a tambourine on bones. Framework appears where there are non-standard solutions, where there are outstanding requests for load, where development is planned in an unknown direction, etc. Then you have to measure the lines and the cost of development and make a good product.
If you need it quickly and cheaply, this is definitely a ready-made CMS. I don't know if it's Bitrix. But any framework is more expensive than a ready-made cms. Especially when it comes to a store with a bunch of non-simple functionality. Integration with payment systems, synchronization with 1c, filtering, complex connections, etc.

Answer 4

To make it to the level of Bitrix, life is not enough. On the other hand, you may not need all of its features.

Answer 5

Wordpress + WooCommerce. Why pay for Bitrix? And Laravel is crap, you are tormented to develop and deal with jambs on it, I don’t know a single large site on Laravel.

Answer 6

Lark is good when you need to do something unique or when there is a big budget and no one is in a hurry... The same applies to yii2. It will be problematic to support Bitrix... I communicate with my colleagues, everyone is not enthusiastic about it... I would look at other store engines, but not on wp)) there is a store engine on yii2 on the git. Maybe consider it, it will be easier to support .. if not a huge store then opencart to which there are already ready-made modules for importing goods from 1c ..
