We chose Prestashop as a versatile and very complete platform. We use it throughout the department and we have no problems with it. The content management system of Prestashop has a code that protects the economic transactions and personal data of users.,It has a content manager quite well developed, as well as quite usable and accessible by the client.
Both the environment and how to treat the database are quite simple and understandable by any development team, that is, it is easier to get the way to program or modify the project.
It is a tool that solves some of the most common needs in a clear and agile way, such as the logistics of billing and the statistics of use and conversion of the page.
It is an excellent content management system, one of the best for the development of an online store or an SME.,It does not allow managing multiple stores from a single administration site.
There is a very large community but most of the most important and necessary modules are Payment.
Design can become an impossible mission if you do not know Prestashop inside, structure and parameterization.,9,Implementing this platform saves us a lot of time in terms of software development. Most functions in a virtual store are pre-installed.
From the point of view of the investment, this software has had a totally positive impact on my business since it is a free software and the initial investment is minimal, there will only be operating expenses for hosting and domain. The benefits obtained are many, sales impulses through the web, advertising and digital marketing.
Fully recommended, low initial investment and with proper marketing you can get great profits.,Magento and WooCommerce,Magento Commerce Cloud (formerly Magento), WooCommerce,Less than $20,000,BothEnio GarcíaA free solution for your first e-commerce project2017-03-03T20:29:14.850ZAs a consultant, I guided a company using Prestashop for their first e-commerce project. My brief was to look for a platform that comes with the larger number of features and that doesn't require high investments while developing additional functions. The choice goes to Prestashop because it represents the easier and a low budget solution which fits most needs of tiny/small companies.,Administration panel is easy and essential
Product configuration is ready to go and product page comes with lots of information
It doesn't require huge server resources,Since it starts as ready to go platform it's difficult to protect your store from being copied by someone else
Without a developer, you depend on Prestashop's modules marketplace that lacks free extensions
Since it isn't an enterprise level platform the use of Prestashop is strictly related to the size of your business,6,Prestashop requires a low investment, you can easily find an agency that could develop a project for less than $5,000
You yearly ROI should be assured,Shopify,Magento Community Edition,Less than $20,000,B2CMarco CasieriWorks Overall but there is a Lack of Support and a Steep Learning Curve2017-02-14T17:27:20.121ZAll six of our websites use prestashop and it is our only e-commerce platform. Our company sells laser engraved products and our websites give customers a chance to view and purchase the items. One of the websites is for the general public, and the others are for internal clients. The back office is used by persons in each department of our company.,Easy to install and have up quickly.
Lots of potential for customization and development overrides to shape the system the way it is needed.
Constant upgrades and bug fixes.
Lots of add-ons to choose.,Documentation and support needs to be updated and expanded. There's a lack of books, and the only support aside from the forum is official prestashop support, which is not cheap. The system is too massive to have such little support.
Too many things can go wrong with too little explanation as to why. Too much time is wasted trying to figure out why prestashop isn't working as intended because of this. Seems that most of the questions online are people fumbling around with vague issues and errors and no explanation.
Code should either be organized more intuitively, or there should be more help outlining what is going on during runtime for debug purposes. Why is there not a built in way to display the tpl that is being loaded in each section? I tried figuring out how to do it myself using the documentation but gave up. Instead I have to swim through the entire code to figure out how to do it myself. Should not be this complicated.
Too many things can go wrong when transferring or copying the website, which essentially breaks everything. Again, too little help and messages explaining why things don't work. Internet search shows that this is a common issue.,6,Not sure, it is the only e-commerce platform we have used.,,Visual Studio.NET,$1 to $10 million,BothShay O'NeilHighly Recommended2016-05-18T18:08:28.080ZI've been using Prestashop for the last 4 years and I'm constantly impressed with the advancements and user-friendliness of the platform.
