Could you please update your content regarding Bagisto? It does have multi language and multi currency support. Custom attributes anyone can make and its free, what is non-free, you might be referring to marketplace add-on. Bagisto can easily scale horizontally to higher volumes provided centralisation of DB, images on S3 and session on Reddis. There are enhancement on Github not unresolved issues.

As you've use the exact same wording as Sanjara at medium.com/@laravel_ecommerce/best..., I respond with the same reply and BTW: You should update your article (dev.to/pathaksaurav/top-3-best-lar...) yourself because it's extremely biased towards Bagisto, which you are working for.

Bagisto has made some design decisions like allowing only one language per channel/domain and offering prices for multiple currency only by a fixed conversion rate. That's no real multi language/currency support where you can add texts in several languages to products for each domain and use independent prices like 0.99 USD and 0.79 EUR. Instead, you wil get 0.99 USD and 0,82 EUR.

Also, you can throw a lot of hardware at Bagisto using AWS but searching for products won't scale well for higher product volumes. You should try with 100k products yourself if you don't believe me.

I've changed the statement about the unresolved issues because it's now better than a few months ago. Nevertheless, a lot of enhancements smell like bugs.

For the custom attributes I think you are right.

There is nothing biased in the article. All it is presented is with the laravel eCommerce packages with what features are available, just for informative purpose. But since you are highlighting postive and negative in yours so its important to present with correct facts since many read your article and also make decisions.

For sure I am from Bagisto and there is nothing wrong in representing that, but since package keep evolving rather being stagnant, I recommend you to test the package now.

You bias by presentation because there are no images for AvoRed and Aimeos making them less relevant. Also, by using 1./2./3. you are implying Bagisto is better then the others but that's intended for sure as you are the marketing manager for Bagisto.

Had a look at current 1.2.0 again and I've updated the multi-language statement because there seems to be multi-language support even if it feels a bit like it's implemented as separate linked products.

The multi-language support in bagisto is by the language you create and associate with channels. You can create any number of language and provide a description of the product in that language.
