PrestaShop online store: what a business should know before building one

PrestaShop is one of the most widely used e-commerce platforms in Spain and across Europe. It is open source, runs on your own server and adapts to almost any sales model, from a fashion store to a B2B portal with customer-specific price lists. But the difference between a PrestaShop online store that sells and one that causes trouble is not the platform: it is how it is implemented. This guide explains what PrestaShop is, when it makes sense, how it integrates with the rest of the business and what to ask of whoever builds it.

What PrestaShop is and why it is still a solid choice

PrestaShop is open-source e-commerce software created in France in 2007. Because it is open source, there is no licence fee and the code is yours: you can host the store wherever you like, change it without asking anyone for permission and switch technical provider without losing the business. Its ecosystem of modules and themes is one of the largest in the European market, and it natively supports multiple languages, currencies, taxes and carriers, which is key if you sell in Spain and elsewhere in the European Union.

That flexibility comes at a price: a PrestaShop online store needs technical judgement. You have to choose the right hosting, keep versions up to date, select few and good modules, and look after performance. That is why many companies prefer an expert PrestaShop team to handle implementation and maintenance, so they can spend their time selling.

PrestaShop versus a subscription platform: how to decide

The usual choice is between PrestaShop and a monthly-subscription SaaS platform. Neither is better in the abstract; it depends on what your business needs. This table summarises the criteria we use with our clients:

Criterion PrestaShop online store SaaS subscription platform
Ownership The code, the data and the hosting belong to the company. The store lives on the provider's platform and depends on its terms.
Customisation No limits: custom modules, your own pricing logic, B2B workflows. Limited to what the platform and its apps allow.
ERP integration Direct, with access to the database and the webservice API. Through third-party connectors, often with a recurring cost.
Recurring costs Hosting and maintenance; no platform fees on sales. Monthly fee and, depending on the plan, transaction fees or paid apps.
Getting started Needs a technical team to configure and optimise the store. Quick start for simple catalogues.
Scalability Grows with the server and architecture you choose. Grows within the provider's plans and limits.

As a rule of thumb, PrestaShop fits when the store has to work alongside an ERP, when prices or terms differ by customer, when the catalogue is large or technical, or when the company wants to own its sales channel. If you only need to sell a few products with no integration at all, a subscription platform may be enough to start with.

Use cases by industry

Most of our PrestaShop projects are not generic stores: they are sales channels connected to the company's operations. These are the most common scenarios by industry:

  • Retail: a single stock across physical shops and the online store, POS integration, click and collect and promotions coordinated across every channel.
  • Manufacturing and B2B distribution: an ordering portal for distributors with customer-specific prices, minimum orders, agreed payment terms and a technical catalogue with data sheets and documentation.
  • Logistics: orders synchronised with the warehouse or logistics operator, automatic carrier labels and shipment tracking for the customer.
  • Services: sale of vouchers, bookings, subscriptions and digital products, with automatic invoicing and a private customer area.
  • Transport: spare parts and accessories with search by model or part number, and catalogues of thousands of items updated from the supplier.

Integrations: where the project is won or lost

An isolated PrestaShop online store means orders keyed in by hand, stock-outs and invoicing errors. Integration with the rest of the systems is what turns the store into a business tool. The most common ones are:

  • ERP and accounting: products, prices, stock, customers, orders and invoices synchronised with Gestinity or another ERP, in real time or in batches depending on volume.
  • In-store POS: one stock for every channel, with counter sales reflected in the online store instantly.
  • Payment gateways: Redsys, Bizum, PayPal, Stripe or financing, set up with strong customer authentication and payment reconciliation.
  • Carriers and warehouse: shipping cost calculation, label generation and tracking numbers sent without manual work.
  • Marketplaces and marketing: catalogue publishing on marketplaces, product feeds and automated abandoned-cart emails.

Migrations, custom modules and performance

A large part of our PrestaShop work is migrating existing stores: from WooCommerce, Magento, Shopify or an old PrestaShop version that no longer receives security updates. A well-executed migration moves the catalogue, customers, orders and URLs, and keeps Google rankings thanks to 301 redirects. When no module on the market does what you need, we build custom PrestaShop modules following the platform's standards, so future updates do not break the store.

Performance is the other big front. A slow store loses sales and rankings. We work on caching, image optimisation, deferred loading, the database and the choice of server, and we measure Core Web Vitals before and after. We also look after security: updates, backups and compliance with GDPR and e-commerce regulations.

Signs your store needs an expert PrestaShop team

  • Online orders are keyed into the ERP by hand.
  • Website stock does not match the warehouse or the physical shop.
  • The store takes more than three seconds to load on mobile.
  • You are still on a PrestaShop version without security support.
  • Your trade customers cannot see their own prices or repeat orders.
  • Every module update breaks something in the store.

If you recognise two or more of these situations, the problem is not PrestaShop: it is the implementation. It can almost always be fixed without rebuilding the store from scratch.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about PrestaShop online stores

Why PrestaShop and not another platform?

It is the most widely used e-commerce platform in Spain, with no sales fees, thousands of modules and a huge community. For most businesses it offers the best balance between cost, flexibility and control.

Do you design from scratch or use templates?

We design the store around your brand. We can start from a base theme to shorten timelines, but the result is adapted to your identity and to what your catalogue needs.

Does it connect with my ERP or management software?

Yes. We sync products, stock, prices, customers and orders with Gestinity and with the most common ERP systems so the store and the back office work with the same data.

Can you migrate my current store to PrestaShop?

Yes. We migrate catalogue, customers, orders and history from WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento or older PrestaShop versions, keeping URLs so you do not lose rankings.

What does monthly maintenance include?

PrestaShop and module updates, backups, monitoring, support and improvement hours, so the store is always secure and up to date.

How long until the store is selling?

A PrestaShop store with custom design is usually ready in 4-6 weeks, including initial catalogue loading and payment and shipping setup.
