PrestaShop

PrestaShop is an open‑source web application written in PHP that provides a fully customizable shopping‑cart system for merchants and customers. It supports major payment services, offers multilingual and localized interfaces, and includes a responsive design for both the storefront and the back‑office administration area. The platform runs on PHP 8.1+ with MySQL 5.6+ (or compatible databases) and can be deployed on Apache or Nginx servers.

The software is self‑hostable and distributed under the OSL‑3.0 license, allowing owners full control of their store data and configuration. It ships with a Docker‑based development environment that automates setup of the front‑end, back‑office, and email testing, and it provides a modular architecture with thousands of themes and extensions to adapt the shop to various business needs. Documentation covers installation for development and production, system requirements, and administration guides.

PrestaShop targets businesses of any size that need a scalable e‑commerce solution they can host and modify themselves. Its community includes over 250 000 merchants, a network of experts and partners, and active support channels, making it suitable for entrepreneurs launching a new store as well as established brands expanding to larger revenues.
