Visit PrestaShop

PrestaShop is open source ecommerce software for building and running an online store, founded in 2007. It gives merchants control over their store, data, customer experience and costs, with no subscription fees or proprietary lock-in on the open source edition. It is available as Classic, where you download the source code and install the store yourself, or Hosted, where the technical aspects are handled for you.

The platform includes PrestaShop essentials modules such as PrestaShop Checkout (payment methods via PayPal), PrestaShop Marketing (Google channels), PrestaShop Shipping, PrestaShop Social (Facebook and Instagram catalog sync) and PrestaShop Automation (Klaviyo). Additional payment providers include Stripe, Alma, Klarna, Viva.com, Airwallex and Click to Pay. A marketplace offers thousands of modules and themes. Version 9 is built on Symfony 6.4 LTS with an API, and 9.2 adds a unified One Page Checkout and AI tools. Support plans, migration solutions, hosting options and PrestaShop Experts services are available separately.

PrestaShop suits merchants from new entrepreneurs to established businesses, including those seeking a self-managed store. The open source Classic edition is free to download; the Hosted edition and support plans are offered separately.
