Our mission

We build a truly inclusive solution for commerce to fully express its potential.

We believe that commerce is more than a platform. We believe that commerce is a human activity.
To respect the business reality of each of our clients, to express the singularity and creativity of each of our users, we build the most inclusive solution.

One that allows everyone to express their potential rather than enforcing a one-size fits all approach.

With PrestaShop (Hosted, Classic, and Custom offers), the PrestaShop essentials and PrestaShop Hosting, we enable companies to easily deploy their business on a larger scale, and with infinite customization possibilities.
