Likelihood to Recommend Right now it isn't well suited for anything [in my opinion]. It is not being maintained and many of the important functions one got it for in the first place simply do not work and no one is doing anything about it. A number of my colleagues use it too and we are all looking for an alternative. I'd never recommended it to anyone and have steered clients and colleagues away from it.
Read full review This is a great system for small and medium businesses dealing from 1 product to 100,000 products. It is elegant to use and very stable. The system may not be great for converting into a marketplace and the handling of > 1million products. The system is also not suitable for services selling like events, registrations, subscriptions and ticket bookings etc.
Read full review Pros Manages the ins and outs of a payment process Direct integration with many marketing platforms for quick data sharing Ability to add additional marketing messaging to the process and further cross-sell Read full review The PayPal button modality was integrated with the PrestaShop system, which helped our clients to complete payments digitally in just a few seconds, this integrated button allowed to streamline many transactions. Performing inventory reviews and modifying the PrestaShop catalog was one of the things that I liked the most, I could make changes to the catalog, make changes to the conditions of the products in the catalog and all those changes were reflected on my website in a instant, no need to wait some time. The PrestaShop system created a digital invoice for each client who made the advance payment of a property, which made it even easier to complete the property negotiation. Customers came to our company with the digital invoice for the advance payment and it was easy to identify the property that was paid, thanks to the digital invoice. Read full review Cons The UI needs improvement. There are other systems out there that are more intuitive. Customizing/branding a shopping cart page can be a little tricky - when it should be very simple. Read full review Not a lot of free templates. Images can sometimes be too compressed and lose their full quality, so better settings for that could be introduced. Being able to change the look of your automatic emails via default settings can also be introduced. Read full review Likelihood to Renew If I were in charge of the renewal decision I would really take a look at 1SC vs. Infusionsoft. There are many ways each are great and many ways they are different. I would look at what was best for my company and make the choice accordingly. I find that Infusionsoft has many more ways to intuitively market, segment and cultivate new leads and grow the business as a whole than 1SC currently has.

Read full review Usability The lack of performance and the unstable system make it very hard to use it for a serious e-commerce application.

Read full review Performance Some caching and optimization is definitely needed. However, it is not as bloated as other CMSs with lots of plugins needed.
Read full review Support Rating Why can't I give it a MINUS 1 million??? There is effectively no support.
Read full review Since we use PrestaShop OpenSource there is only community support. What we found is that many other users fight with the same problems and there seems no solution or input from the PrestaShop developers' side.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 1ShoppingCart is the best solution for entrepreneurs who need a shopping cart solution. It is much easier to manage than
Infusionsoft . The price point is much less than
Infusionsoft . I recommend anyone considering
Infusionsoft have a dedicated expert in that program on their team because of it's complexity. 1ShoppingCart does not require this because it is more user friendly

Read full review It's a no-brainer for e-commerce stores.
BigCommerce and
Magento both far out-distanced PrestaShop in every major category. If you're just getting into e-commerce, I would highly recommend either
BigCommerce or
Magento . Their online documentation and support far outweigh any advantages you'd have over going with an open source software like PrestaShop.

Read full review Return on Investment Better customer service would be helpful, as previously stated if needed to have the customer service calls not be a fee based call and instead included in the price and not an "add on" cost. Just having the ability to connect 1shoppingCart with other systems, such as Wordpress and LeadPages helps to connect all the dots to my sales pages. Read full review It slowed down our Hosting service. Our website took a long time to fully load on our clients' devices due to the high consumption of the integration with the PrestaShop service. It provided us with a fast billing service, where our clients obtained invoices in PDF mode for the electronic payments they made for the properties. These digital invoices helped us to recognize the property they wanted faster and streamlined the negotiation process. The templates that had an optimized design, were too expensive, this caused that our catalog design was very simple and did not capture the interest of customers. Read full review ScreenShots
