Which edition should I choose for an online store with 1C?
Small Business: a catalogue of any size, orders, discounts, delivery and 1C data exchange. Business is needed if you have several warehouses and price types — wholesale and retail, dealer sales, bundles and kits, a loyalty programme.
Is there a subscription fee?
No. The licence is bought once, and the first year of updates and vendor technical support is included. After that, renewal costs 25% of the edition price if you want to keep receiving updates.
What happens if I don’t renew the licence?
The site will keep working, but product updates and vendor technical support will no longer be available. Over time this becomes a security risk, and since 1 February 2026 updates also require PHP 8.2 or later — we can help with the upgrade.
How many sites can I run on one licence?
On the Start edition, up to two sites. On the others, as many as you like, provided all the sites run on one hosting account and one copy of the product.
Why is VAT added to the price?
Since 1 January 2026, 1C-Bitrix prices are listed excluding VAT, and 16% VAT is added when the order is placed, regardless of the buyer category.
Can I move up to a higher edition later?
Yes, an upgrade to a higher edition is arranged through a 1C-Bitrix partner. We will calculate the cost for your licence, and the site does not need to be rebuilt when you upgrade.
How quickly will I receive the licence?
We email the licence key within a few hours of payment. The licence is issued to your company; we work under a contract, with payment by invoice.
