Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
PrestaShop is a powerful and open-source free e-commerce solution. It is a great tool for building online shopping cart websites. PrestaShop is self-hosted meaning you need to have a hosting plan and some technical and coding knowledge to set it up. Customizing PrestaShop can get a little bit tricky especially if you need custom functionalities although there are plenty of third-party extensions and add-ons that you can implement into the platform.
Pros
- Free and open-source.
- Highly customizable with some coding knowledge.
- Tons of add-ons and third party extensions.
- Self hosted, full control on server files.
Cons
- Add-ons can get really expensive.
- Add-ons can interfere with each other and bugs may arise.
- Speed need to be improved.
Likelihood to Recommend
Being a self-hosted solution, it is well suited for people who have a minimum of technical and coding knowledge. If you have no technical skills, you may need to go with other options that are hosted. Also, if you are not willing to invest in customizations and add-ons, PrestaShop would not be the best option to go with.
