PrestaShop VS Shopify
What are the main pricing differences?
PrestaShop is an open source platform allowing you to download and install your online store freely. Costs related to web and domain hosting are assumed by the merchant.
Shopify offers you 14 days of free trial, after which you will have to pay a monthly fee depending on your subscription plan (from $29 to $299/month).
Are PrestaShop and Shopify suitable for beginners?
PrestaShop is suitable for both beginners who want to launch their online business for the first time, as well as for large online stores that have a much more extensive product catalog.
Shopify, on the other hand, is a solution oriented towards beginners and retailers with smaller volumes.

Find out what our customers are saying
For ambitious projects, Shopify offers limits in terms of development that PrestaShop does not have. So it's much more convenient for us to work on PrestaShop which offers infinite development possibilities, due to its open source model.
As a development agency, since 2014 we have seen the evolution of the ecommerce framework industry. We believe that the open source concept and the great community around PrestaShop offers the flexibility and customization that proprietary technologies like Shopify cannot give you.
Why choose PrestaShop vs Shopify
As an open source platform, everything about PrestaShop can be 100% edited, modified, and adapted to your business. Shopify is a proprietary code software and thus does not give you access to the code in case you want to modify a functionality.
Unlike the paid modules proposed by Shopify, PrestaShop provides the multi-store option pre-installed in your back office allowing you to manage multiple stores from the same interface.
PrestaShop enables you to set currencies, create multi-language product sheets and to ensure that your checkout process is compliant with European laws.
Unlike SaaS solutions like Shopify, PrestaShop’s open source software enables you to get full access to the source code of your online store and be the exclusive owner of your data, sales, and management.
