PrestaShop
PrestaShop is suitable for beginners as well as for professionals. The platform features an intuitive user interface, a lean system structure and very simple module management. This distinguishes it from many established online shop systems. Another advantage is the large international community – tens of thousands of developers work together globally to continuously improve the performance and functionality of the open source project. There are also countless forums that provide expert advice. As it's an open source project, there are no setup fees or licence fees.
PrestaShop is also flexible and scalable. The software is suitable for small and medium-sized as well as for large online shops, and runs stably even on weaker servers. Even without adding any extra modules, the basic version has an enormous range of functions that can be extended to suit your requirements. Thanks to more than 6,000 plug-ins and themes, any PrestaShop-based online shop can be customised down to the last detail.
