Choosing Between miniShop and Shopkeeper for a New Store

A practical comparison of the two approaches teams considered most often when planning product options, comparison features, and 1C integration.

Store planning questions often sound simple at first, but the right choice depends on more than just whether products can be displayed. Once you need comparison, attribute combinations such as color or size, and integration with systems like 1C, the architecture matters a lot more.
