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. Whether you are a hardcore developer or new to the industry, PrestaShop makes it very convenient to get you up and running. Also the developer community is highly active so you're able to find assistance from active users in the community with any problem that you might have.,Flexibility
