Overall Satisfaction with PrestaShop
PrestaShop started being used in our company because I decided to buy it and thus allow our clients to buy properties more quickly without having to carry out a long interaction process with us. When we founded our real estate company, I bought and implemented PrestaShop on our website so that our clients could add the property they liked the most to their cart, and pay for a part of the property with common electronic payment methods, such as PayPal or credit card . PrestaShop brought us excellent benefits during the first months, it was a platform that helped us make many sales, it made it possible for our clients to be able to choose their property more easily, adding it to the cart and clicking the "buy" button, in addition, our clients they could quickly pay for a portion of the property with digital methods, which progressively spurred negotiations. It brought very good benefits during the time he was in our company, however, we stopped using PrestaShop because we wanted to implement a much simpler system on our website that would allow customers to make direct inquiries with us about the available properties. Currently, our clients can access our website and make inquiries by mail or mobile phone, using the code of each property, this allows clients to know what they are buying and to learn more about the property before making any payment.
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- There is no type of support to help users learn to use the PrestaShop service. When I implemented this service in my company, it was with the help of our web developers, and on the occasions that I needed help from PrestaShop support, they never responded to my requests.
- Most of the templates for customizing my store were too expensive. Although they were simple but attractive templates, the prices were very high, which forced me to have a simple design in my catalog integrated into my website.
- 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.
