How it works

The platform is popular in Europe and with businesses that want a store they own outright. It includes product management, orders, customers, and analytics, plus a marketplace of add-ons for extra features.

PrestaShop suits businesses with some technical help who want a custom store without a monthly platform fee. It takes more setup than a hosted builder, but the freedom to customise and the lack of ongoing platform costs make it attractive for the right team.
