Which one, when
nopCommerce appeals to companies with .NET developers who want full control and no platform fees, and the shared Microsoft technology stack makes the pairing natural on paper. The catch is that the BC integration is yours: building it, testing it after every BC update, and keeping the developer who understands it. Abakion's model is the opposite trade — less freedom over the storefront, but the vendor owns the whole chain and BC updates are their problem. As a rule of thumb: if 'who maintains the integration in three years?' has no confident answer, the open-source route costs more than it saves.
