PrestaShop Reviews

It is easy to integrate with payment providers, all modules are configurable and I can configure them according to my country. In some special cases, such as shopping with gift points, I can easily manipulate the code. Themes and language options are quite a lot. I can also get templates from paid template sites.

I haven't come across a feature that I don't like. I can do anything I want.

Free, open source software of good quality

When you reach a certain project size, it becomes slow and requires a lot of development and system optimisation work.

Possibilities of use. We have used the Presta for our webshop with above 10K + items.

I can't find anything right now in my mind.

PrestaShop is a great open source software, which allows its users to set up and build a rich online-shop to earn money on the internet. It is easy to use in the backend, it is capable of building multi-shops for more than one country and more than one language very easily and it is easy to build your own sub sites in your online-shop with the help of certain page builder modules. It is highly customizable and there are thousands of modules to choose from to make it even better and cover issues like search engine optimization, integration with email marketing tools or payment solutions to name just a few.

One thing that should be improved is the speed of the shop.

This software is awesome for creating ecommerce.
You can install the basic version and start selling in a very short time.
Every operation is optimized at its best and you will spare a lot of time if you sell products with variations.

You shall pay for every little modification.
There are a lot of plugins but they are not free.
You cannot change the design as you may desire.

Lots of plugin and template options. You can literally add anything to Prestashop and create your own unique ecommerce site.

Has quite a lot of upgrades and versions, which at times can change your whole site and even make some of your plugins not work as it did before.

It's a very professional platform focused on e-commerce sites. It helps a lot if you have a big store.

It's so expensive to maintain, with a lot of resources, but you have to pay for most of them. It could be complex to understand and manage.

It's public domain software and it has a lot of documentation to learn about the developement

Sometimes it's a little bit expensive to implement some solutions and personalizations

Super easy to install with no glitches. Customisation is easy and lots of options for payment s, international shipping and secure payment. SEO option is helpful and email automation is configurable easily.

If you want to add any module that is very expensive. Design is not that professional and there are issues in scalability.

Prestashop is nice to start a small business, it's easy to use and can connect to different plugins

It's works with plugin : like all solutions that works with plugin their can be dangerous side effects when you add a plugin to your website, and it can create severe performance issues

Easy to configure, easy to update ( one click update ), easy to install new modules and themes and builders. One of the most versatile platforms for physical and virtual goods. I have custom made for customers shops with upwards of 1 million products, imported from dropshipping suppliers.
It is very easy to manage, tons of free and premium modules and upgrades.
A solid infrastructure to rely on and different profiles with permission for employs.
Very Reliable for large amounts of traffic.

Not that great for backups.
Modules and themes don't work from 1.5 to 1.6 to 1.7, have to reorder or to download new version ( incompatible by design of the code ).
Big community but not that active.
Translations needs an upgrade, being made by contributions from authors.

Costs of course, huge marketplace with lots of themes and modules.

Too many versions/releases make this platform often instable, Keep everything updated and stable (struggling with conflicts and incompatibilities) is a great effort for the team.

-Easy to deploy.
- Big community.
-Great plugins.

-Some limitation for bigger e-commerce .

It is one of the most undervalued softwares in the online space. You can really build your store in just a couple of minutes, with tons of modules and themes also from third parties you can have any type of store, either physical or virtual goods.
With over 1 million websites constructed with this platform is a great asset to build with.

The difference from major versions is amazing, you have to carefully upgrade on a test website, to not ruin your website. It is best done by a professional

We are using Prestashop for creating the most of our E-commerce products. Open-Source Platform and existing market with plugins - are the main advantages to use Prestashop for small-middle sized projects.

After updating the version of Prestashop, some of the plugins have to be recorded because the system is alerting us that there are some errors in platform update. In case you have a lot of project on Prestashop at the same time, it consumes quite a lot of time.

As an e-tailor we like the flexibility of PrestaShop as an CMS, the large community who work with the software and the way you can make use of the software.
As a developer and PrestaShop Partner we like the diversity of the product and the way we can build converting web shops for our customers.

The one thing we like the least is the assistance we get from PrestaShop themselves. Luckily the community is very active, and this solves most of our problems, but PrestaShop should have a more hands-on mentality.

It's an easy to use program, friendly UX, responsive, it covers all the basic needs for a basic e-commerce business, great library of admins to upgrade your business

It's slow, you have to save your progress several times because not always saves what you do, not that prewar web templates.

Admin area is clean and easy to use, making it simple to start.

Lack of many important built-in functionalities requiring to buy several additional modules, like for SEO and bulk product management.
