Bagisto vs Crystallize

Bagisto is a free, open-source Laravel eCommerce platform for building online stores, marketplaces and B2B commerce sites. It supports multi-vendor marketplaces and multi-tenant SaaS stores, as well as multichannel sales and digital products. The self-hosted Bagisto plan costs nothing. Its listed requirements include PHP 8.3 or higher, MySQL 8.0.32 or higher or MariaDB 10.3 or higher, and at least 4 GB of RAM; it also lists Apache 2 or NGINX, a 1 GHz or faster processor, Node 18.12.0 LTS or higher and Composer 2.5 or higher.

Crystallize lists integrations with payment gateways including Stripe, Klarna, Vipps, Dintero, Adyen, Mollie, Montonio, Quickpay, Two, and Razorpay.
