Why eCommerce sites on Bitrix might not be the best idea ⚙️
When choosing a platform for an online store, it's important to consider both popularity and usability. Our developer Vadim explained why Bitrix is rarely chosen for complex eCommerce projects:
👉system architecture doesn’t always align with PHP standards, making it harder to work with
👉 non-standard code style, like using "Y" instead of true, complicates maintenance
👉incomplete or outdated documentation frustrates developers
👉many modules are outdated, and new ones lack consistency
👉 limited flexibility for modern features and technologies
Bitrix works for small projects or those requiring 1C integration, but for scalable eCommerce, modern platforms are a better choice.
