PrestaShop: the open source e-commerce platform built to scale

Discover PrestaShop, the open source e-commerce platform

PrestaShop is an open source e-commerce platform that lets you build a fully customisable online store you actually control.

A merchant runs a catalogue of thousands of references with variations, a manufacturer sells configurable products, a brand manages several stores from a single interface. Because the code is open, the platform adapts to your needs rather than the other way around.

PrestaShop is built around four pillars:

From product page to payment, the whole online sales cycle is covered natively.

1. Catalogue management: product pages without limits

The PrestaShop back office is designed for rich, well-structured catalogues.

  • Create detailed product pages with variations, bundles and digital products
  • Manage stock and supply directly from the back office
  • Offer customisation options on your products
  • Organise your categories for clear customer-facing navigation

2. Customisation: themes and modules in your image

PrestaShop shapes itself to your brand and processes without starting from scratch.

  • Choose from thousands of themes and adapt them to your identity
  • Extend features with modules from the official marketplace
  • Modify the source code to cover truly specific needs
  • Run several stores and languages from a single installation

3. Orders and customers: after-sales under control

Every order is tracked end to end, with the customer history at hand.

  • Track each order in real time, from cart to delivery
  • Manage statuses, returns and credit notes from the back office
  • Access each customer's full history for efficient support
  • Configure carriers and delivery zones for your markets

4. Payments and marketing: convert and retain

The conversion levers are built into the platform, ready to be activated.

  • Offer several payment methods, including Stripe and PayPal
  • Set up promotions, discount codes and flash sales
  • Optimise the SEO of your product pages
  • Analyse your sales with the built-in statistics
