Many eCommerce industries like Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento2, OpenCart are following the traditional approach to make the eCommerce Solution.
In the traditional approach, front-end and back-end of an eCommerce website were coupled together.

Joomla is built for CMS needs not for eCommerce
Joomla is a free open-source content management system(CMS) for publishing web content. A CMS is a web-based application to manage content, Website data, and other intranet application.
VirtueMart is an open source eCommerce plug-in for the Joomla CMS. The biggest problem with Joomla eCommerce that it is not specifically an eCommerce solution, rather we need to customize it with the help of an additional plug-in.
Joomla provides the eCommerce solution with the plug-in. Most of the plug-in and extension in Joomla are not free and have a compatibility issue. Joomla eCommerce is not so SEO friendly and used for small module marketplace.
In Bagisto, you don’t have to install any plug-in or extension. Bagisto provides completely SEO friendly website.
Modern Tech Stack and Composer Based Development
Laravel is a web application framework with an expressive and elegant syntax. It follows the model-view-controller (MVC) architectural pattern based on the Symfony.
Laravel is famous because of its functionality like separation of “Business Logic Code” from “Presentation Logic“, Message queue system, and task scheduling.
Vue.js consists of the friendly core library that centres on the view layer of a web page, and perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications.
Laravel provides a composer based development tool that helps in dependency management. We can use it to declare your project libraries and manage (install/update) them for you.
When using Composer, the dependency management of your project will be in a single composer file named composer.json.

{ "name": "magento2/hello", "description": "My very first Composer project", "authors": [ { "name": "Hello", } ], "minimum-stability": "dev", "require": { "php": ">=6.0.0" }, "autoload": { "psr-0": { "Hello": "src/" } } } |
A composer based development is very useful in reliable access, full support of Docker, security, monitoring & maintenance, and distribute & share packages across your organization.
Headless is the Core
Nowadays, most of the eCommerce platforms follow the traditional approach. They have the eCommerce website where the front-end of the website is tightly coupled with the back-end.
Bagisto based on the Laravel platform provides Headless approach to design a website.
In the Headless approach, front-end, and back-end of your eCommerce store are “decoupled” which separates the presentation logic of your eCommerce store from business logic.
The headless approach provides flexibility, personalization, faster speed, and marketing effectiveness without hurting the back-end process.
Mobile Friendly and REST API Support
