Everything Considered

We are building PrestaShops since 2012 and are very satisfied with the solution. We can build nearly every special feature a user would like to have.

Great open-source Software

PrestaShop is a popular open-source e-commerce platform that offers a range of features to help businesses manage their online stores effectively. Here are some of the key features that PrestaShop offers in website management, shopping cart, order management, inventory management, cataloging/categorization, shipping management, SEO management, and multi-channel marketing.

Maximizing E-commerce Success with PrestaShop Ecommerce Platform

It is good when you start your online bussines. A lot of free and paid templates makes easy to choose preferred design. Almost every payment gateway in the world has a dedicated gateway for PS so you may start your online store in few minutes. But when your shop will rise - it is hard to scale. Especially if you want to integrate it with some external apps (like 3d shopping) - you may hit the wall here. Communication between plugins may slow down your store so it wont be rocket-fast anymore.

still good but woocommerce is far ahead

Great software to use for your online store

I've got a ton of experience with running and configuring Magento, but I wanted to try PrestaShop simply to use something different on my own business storefront to expand my own knowledge, not to mention that Magento needs more power than PrestaShop. Although PS is easy enough to setup and get running, it lacks a few features which I would consider "standard" by today's terms, not to mention that there is also a serious lack of free/opens source plug-ins available for it like Magento has, which includes things like themes. Overall, the store does its job and works well once all the modules are in place, but In the grand scheme, I would consider PrestaShop as a stepping stone to something bigger and better like Magento or more.

Decent Online Store Option, But Has Drawbacks

professional tools because it's a very common tool that every e-commerce business use.

it a great program to star an e-commerce business

Medium level open source Ecommerce platform

I have been using PrestaShop for several years, since version 1.6, and I can say that I know it quite thoroughly. I definitely prefer it to other e-commerce platforms for its completeness and the ability to manage large catalogues, even if it occasionally presents some small bugs that are almost never resolved in subsequent releases. Being very widespread, you can find online many third-party modules and templates at low prices.

Great e-commerce platform, particularly suitable for large catalogues

Leading tool for ecommerce companies

Good experience using Prestashop, its a great CMS to work on, as adding product info and managing product data is seamless. there are a lot great features built in also

Prestashop Review

Only use it if you have it already

PrestaShop outils de développement d'application 

PrestaShop app development tools

I started using Prestashop as a Joomla or Wordpress plugin and it was a turning point in starting my ecommerce business. It helped me boost my sales and grow my business.

Ideal for companies of any size that want to venture into ecommerce

Overall I would say Prestashop could definitely work well for a beginner that wanted to build different websites without all the plugins that come with WP Woocommerce, or the basic look of Wix and Weebly. Its a sweet spot and gives beginners and advanced users the ability to create amazing online stores. SEO was not the easiest to do though, and if you go too deep without propper knowledge you really can mess up the whole thing. Id suggest using it only based on your skill level. But from my experience, this is one of my favoirte ecommerce platforms.

Presta Shop Is Great for Small Businesses

Utilizziamo PrestaShop come piattaforma per e-commerce per uno dei nostri siti. Il prodotto è ben fatto e permette varie possibilità di configurazione. Lo abbiamo collegato tramite API al nostro sistema gestionale e riusciamo a gestire gli ordini e i prodotti in modo centralizzato.

Ottima piattaforma di E-Commerce

Excellent E-Commerce platform

Overall positive. It was after all the first ecommerce platform I used for my small business. It worked great and few problems that I was usually able to solve in an hour.

I love it but..

Last in a series of failed attempts to get a 21st century ecommerce site. I have a 20th century one but hoped for better. Two problems with the open source ones are
(a) Over-large companies funded by venture capital or just ambition, that half-finish a neat project and then sell it half finished and try to cover-up the mistake by selling modules for the most obvious basic things like checkout and shipping. This applies to Drupal Commerce, a lot, to some of the various Wordpress carts, and to Prestashop.
(b) Mission creep by which an app that installs onto shared hosting suddenly becomes too large to run on that host. This applies to Drupal projects and probably to Prestashop a bit too.
So: the experience is the same as with Drupal Commerce and bits of wordpress stuff. i am a lot happier now I am on a forked version of prestashop.

Oh talking of "fork" and "open source", this is a DIY project with some free help maybe on message boards and with free installation from software installers on most hosting, but mainly paid in hours rather than pounds. When i spend money it was on ill-judged attempts to find a one page checkout module that turned-out not to cope with a particular server or to solve the specific problems of the default checkout.

good since the fork but it has changed its name; this is the review of the one called prestashop

For a small e-commerce business is Prestashop a matching solution. You can run it for free or invest as much as is comfortable for you. 

Easy and flexible platform for your eshop

Its a great shopping cart software , it only needs the developer of the shopping cart to make the admin dashboard to be easy to use, then all countries needs to be added by default in their future versions. As for the front end design, its perfect! then 

A Beautiful User Interface Shopping Cart Software 

It took about a week to get everything set up and tweaked to a point where I felt I could go "live." I don't think the typical user will breeze through startup without a few puzzling hours working out various intricacies, but getting a stable, functional online selling platform is, overall, pretty easy.

One of the easiest ecommerce platforms to use

I have three stores now with Prestashop, which I have been using for over six years. I would say that the older versions worked perfectly well and I had no problems. I would have given 5 stars in all areas. (I am talking version 1.6.0.9 or thereabouts)
Unwittingly "upgrading" to the latest versions, I'm now on  1.6.0.14, has rendered Prestashop almost unworkable. It only works now for me thanks to the brilliant paid add-on Store Manager.
My two sites with fewer products - 20 and 1200 respectively, work fine still.
My main site, which is my main source of income has 4,500 products. I cannot edit or save products (which is where Store Manager comes in). The search indexing does not work. CSV product import will not work. Database backups always time out. There are frequent errors with Payment gateways. Every recommended update usually  causes new problems.
All this despite the fact that I am using the default template and have made no code changes.
Support is absolutely zero. My problems have been well discussed on the forums for over two years and are common. The programmers do nothing. I am not a programmer. I have spent over $2000 on programming help over the last two years just to keep my site running - and Prestashop is supposed to be "Open Source" and free.
I would highly recommend Prestashop if you have few products, but I would say that if you start to go over 2000 then in my experience it simply does not work. The programmers are too busy making add ons which they make money on, than getting the basic shell to work.
Transferring to another cart now would be a nightmare, largely because of the huge number of product photos, I think about 30,000 now.

Prestashop - Don't use for lots of products

Great Functionality, Large Community, Rather Simple To Use, Very Extendable , Open Source

I liked Prestashop when I used it, but somehow I missed the extra punch I could have when developing with others platforms. I think it's a good tool, but I prefer others

Nice ecommerce solution, but lacks some punch

This has been a great solution for medium brands that process more than 100 orders per month and have some particular functionalitys of management stock with third party shared integrations
