What is Reddit's opinion of
PrestaShop?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
23 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
I'm a Magento developer and I love the platform, but I would advise against it if you're building this yourself. The first open source ecommerce apps that come to mind for me in your situation are Open Cart - http://www.opencart.com and PrestaShop - http://www.prestashop.com. Though not as powerful/feature-rich as Magento, they're legit and should be much easier for a non-developer to work with.
There are also hosted ecommerce solutions like Shopify, but I think they suck, as they are an ecommerce developer's sworn enemy.
Shoot me a PM if you have any questions or anything.
Joining a large forum, even if it is connected to a cart software, will still be beneficial to you. The discussions on the Forum are not always revolving around the specific software. There are many open discussions about general concepts like design and marketing. I'm Community Manager for PrestaShop and we have a huge forum >600K users. You should check it out
The top left one isn't bad and first well with your website although it could be bigger (im sure thats an obvious one)
I like the grey After with the purple dark with the k swinging under it with that gradient. It fits well.
I would choose those over the funky looking logos below because it doesn't appeal as much.
Speaking of your website, I like the wordpress site but since your a strictly an ecommerce site try prestashop, open source and free. Just throwing ideas. http://www.prestashop.com/
As promised, we burned the midnight oil (it smelled like bacon; who knew we were onto something here on reddit?) and published a fix. JungleBook3 and anyone else affected by this, you can find all the information here: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/126114-please-read-security-procedure/
Am in a similar boat - previously used oscommerce but migrated several sites to PrestaShop http://www.prestashop.com/ (as it was actually updated/more secure) it's quite good - I'd recommend it over the other free/opensource ones that are available, it's gained more recognition in the past year or so (positively).
Magento looks good - but it's serious money for the non-community edition. (free version I've read involves a lot of work/understanding to re-design, but is still recommended).
ZenCart is based on oscommerce and although seemingly updated, it feels old and lacks up to date plugins (the site I'm running this on, I was thinking of moving to Wordpress as WP is simply easier to manage).
Can i ask which wordpress plugin you're using? Depending how you've "outgrown" the plugin - just the number of products? you may find there's a better plugin available. Here's four solutions for Wordpress, comments at the end have interesting feedback: http://mashable.com/2011/10/31/wordpress-ecommerce-integration/
Magneto? Massive overkill.
I would normally suggest Joomla with Virtuemart but even that would be more than you need.. I've been wanting to check this out: http://www.prestashop.com - could be worth a look?
Hi,
As mentioned in the concerned topic on our forum, we are actually working actively to fix that problem.
Thank you for your reports and be sure that we feel really concerned about that.
Regards,
Patric Codron Community Manager @ PrestaShop
A forum post found through Google (that could be you, but I don't know so I figured I would post it) brings up an interesting point that it could be a module that was compromised at some previous time, but was set up to do its thing at a specified later date. Since you have it all version controlled, you can go back and look at all the changes you've checked in previously to try and find when it was introduced, but that might not be very practical. I've only had experience cleaning up similar problems with osCommerce, but it can sometimes be very difficult to know when you've actually cleaned up a compromised system.
PrestaShop I have used a couple of times and is simple enough to skin (though the availability of free or even paid templates is quite lacking).
If you have a dedicated server that can handle it Magento. Be warned on shared hosting it runs terribly. Tons of templates and plugins (free and paid) available.
I've heard good things about PrestaCart (http://www.prestashop.com/) as a well-built e-commerce software. Especially when compared to the other free offerings in its category. The fact is that most popular PHP software may not be exactly "well-built" or "modern", but if it's tried-and-tested code that stands up under most use cases, that can be more important.
PrestaShop http://www.prestashop.com/
Or Joomla / Durpal / Wordpress
Other carts such as CubeCart and OScommerce may be a good choice.
Depends on how many products, expected visitors and categories really a.
For a free to play game that offers in-game shop (i.e. the players create an account on the website, buys ingame currency on the website and spend it ingame), would you recommend e-commerce website solutions such as http://www.opencart.com/ or http://www.prestashop.com/? How does it work legally regarding the Data Protection Act with these solutions?
Thank you very much for doing this!
They don't teach this type of stuff in school, at least not the traditional type of school. I learned the same way you are doing now - just by trial/error and reading up on blogs, guides, etc. There isn't really a single repository of information other than to just google the problem/error code you are having and go from there.
I am sure there is a guide on how to move prestashop between hosting providers, example:
http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/17724-solved-moving-migrating-prestashop-to-a-new-host/
https://www.squirrelhosting.co.uk/hosting-blog/hosting-blog-info.php?id=27 (different host but whatever, it's a guide!)
Or just google "move prestashop to a new server" or variations of this question.
Do you mean that customers need to pay a recurring membership fee to view the shop? Or could non subscribers also view, but not buy the products?
If yes, Prestashop has a 2 features you can use.
One, you can give subscribers a special price.
Or, you can setup the shipping settings such that only subscribers can checkout and add a note to non-subscribers that they first need to pay the monthly fee to buy. (with a link on how they can sign up etc)
Or even, there's this Prestashop module.
I am not aware of any E-commerce platform that allows you to hide your catalog for non-members however, but it should not be too difficult with 2 sites, one for sign ups, one for the shop. For recurring billing, it can be done on Paypal.
Source: I built 2 shops on Prestashop
first off you need a domain name and web hosting space, you can get both here although if you look around you may be able to find a better deal, however you probably want to go with a reputable company in case there are any problems
if you are selling products i recommend a CMS (content management system) called prestashop, it is free, the default theme is alright, and there are lots of other themes you can get for it. This will organize and manage all of your products and sales for you, and will make it very easy to update/add/remove products, it will also make it easy to manage other content pages (prestashop can be kinda confusing to start with because of the amount of options there are within it, but most of them you don't need to worry about. I use prestashop a lot for clients and they usually manage to work out how to manage their store within an hour)
that's probably all you need to know to get started but if you need anymore help just post another question, i'm sure everybody will be willing to help
I was dox'ed by a mod of this forum once, so I created an account (this one) and have been pretty open with everything, so no I don't mind telling you.
I am a PrestaShop developer. Here is a link to my profile on the forums, http://www.prestashop.com/forums/user/435599-dh42/ I am in the group of the highest level moderators there. I am in contact with the employees on a daily basis. I also do a lot of SEO work, here is the link to my MOZ profile http://moz.com/community/users/478647 I am really trying to break into the top 50 of their contributors.
I also do a bit of blog posting as well. I just did some interviews with Rand Fishkin of Moz, Neil Patel of KISS Metrics and Quick Sprout, and Jon Henshaw of Raventools, here is a link to them, http://www.prestashop.com/blog/en/?s=seo+series&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 As per my contributor terms, they are published under a PrestaShop employees profile, but you can find my name and link back in the first paragraph of them.

Hi there Nexuist,
I made a Prestashop module which checks your site for the latest market price of Doge.
Is it ok if it does? I want to improve it to avoid spamming your site as much as possible.
The URL is this: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/309565-module-cryptocurrency-accept-payments-in-bitcoins-litecoins-dogecoins-etc/
Thanks in advance :)
What could cause a Bitcoin Crack these days ? > Bitcoin Crack, a condition that Gary Le Masson covers in detail on PrestaShop. Essentially, it entails a significant drop in the price of Bitcoin—say 100-fold—over the course of a day and the subsequent “buying up” of physical goods.
Shop script has a pretty simple installer. As long as you have the ability to create databases.
Open cart isn't bad either. I don't have much experience with it, though.
There's another nice looking one. Take your pick!

This is the old Moneyhookers...and the don't protect you 100% from charge backs...lower fees than Gaypal with a slightly better protection but not 100% http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/282497-moneybookers-skrill-chargeback-request/
Go with a dedicated e-commerce software. You just have more options than you will have with something like shopify. Compare the options they have to something like http://www.prestashop.com/download/pdf/PrestaShop-Feature-List-en.pdf
As for price, I pretty much have gotten into the niche of just doing e-commerce sites, I would go with someone that has a lot of experience with the platform that they are using. Look for someone that has designed several sites with it, see how active they are in the community of the software. Ask for their forum name if the product has a forum, then you can see if they are asking basic questions or helping other users.
Hi otahak, My name is Mike, and I'm PrestaShop's Community Manager. Store Manager for PrestaShop is definitely an option we recommend, and we have several contacts there who are happy to provide assistance at our request. Additionally, I would be happy to answer any other questions you may have, so just post them here or on our brand new /r/PrestaShop page.
Well, I'm using prestashop for online IT store, it's opensource and free. Maybe you can find some theme that's suitable for paintings.
I couldn't find anything that's free for that specific purpose, there is PhotoStore but it's $250.
