PrestaShop has new ownership as of December 2025, acquired by Polish tech group Cyber_Folks (through its subsidiary Cyber_Pixel) along with Sylius and BitBag, forming a major European e-commerce ecosystem, moving from its previous owner, MBE Worldwide (now Fortidia). This acquisition combines PrestaShop's open-source platform with headless (Sylius) and custom solution (BitBag) tech, aiming to create a strong European alternative to global players, with Cyber_Folks holding a majority stake in the new structure. 

Key Details:

New Owners: Cyber_Folks (Poland) acquired 100% of PrestaShop, Sylius, and BitBag.

Structure: Cyber_Folks formed Cyber_Pixel to hold a 79% stake, with Sylius founders becoming minority partners.

Previous Owner: MBE Worldwide (now Fortidia) had acquired PrestaShop in 2021.

Significance: This move consolidates open-source, headless, and SaaS e-commerce tech, making cyber_Folks a significant European e-commerce provider, comparable in scale to Shopify's European presence.

To the new owners. Please do something about the ridiculous amount of ads shown in the forums. It's a joke. Not the "ha, ha," funny kind. It's the uncool, you are not a real business kind.
