About PrestaShop — Public Company Info
What is PrestaShop?
PrestaShop is a French open-source e-commerce platform founded in 2007 by Bruno Lévêque and Igor Schlumberger. With more than 250,000 active stores worldwide and a particularly strong presence in France, Spain, Italy, Poland, and Latin America, PrestaShop is the third most-installed e-commerce platform in the world (after WooCommerce and Shopify). The platform is known for its deep module marketplace (5,000+ free and paid modules), strong multi-store and multi-currency support out of the box, and a thriving community of developers in the EU and Latin America.
Why choose PrestaShop
PrestaShop is the right call when you are an SMB in the EU or Latin America where the platform has the strongest community and developer talent pool, when you need multi-store architecture with multi-currency out of the box (PrestaShop has one of the best multi-store implementations of any platform), when your budget is tight and you want an open-source platform with a wide range of affordable modules, or when you operate a marketplace or catalog of independent sellers. PrestaShop is less common in the US — if your team is US-based you may have trouble finding developers.
