I wouldn't recommend them to anybody because their support is getting worse and worse and their business processes require you to contact support whether you want to or not. You will be forced to contact support and then wait for days to get any meaningful response that's not a copy/pasted sentence from FAQ.

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.

Pros
Paddle
- Super easy to implement SDKs across supported platforms that support modern interface paradigms.
- Real team members that provide backend support for merchant issues. We had issues addressed quickly and taken seriously whenever we needed anything.
- Help with navigating VAT transparently. We never worried that we were messing up in this complicated area of international sales.
- Great first line customer support reduces the need for an extensive customer support organization on our end. They dealt with all purchase related issues as well as lightweight technical issues (e.g pointing users to FAQs, update links, etc.).

- 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.

- 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.

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

Some caching and optimization is definitely needed. However, it is not as bloated as other CMSs with lots of plugins needed.

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.

Paddle supports easy credit/debit card payments. It supports companies across the world. It has the best user experience for our users.

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.

Return on Investment
Paddle
- Increased sales due to abandoned cart recovery emails, etc.
- Allowed us to experiment with novel in-app "reward for sharing" purchase incentives
- Reduced VAT and customer sales support cost to close to zero.

PrestaShop
- 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.
