Free PHP E-Commerce Software: PrestaShop
20
Jan
PrestaShop, although it is in beta, is a complicated open source e-commerce solution.
Having a very powerful back-end, store admins can manage the inventory, orders, customers & payments easily. System never limits you as it supports unlimited categories, sub-categories & image pictures. Sub-admin users can be created with different permissions so when someone can only track the inventory another admin can be limited to processing the orders.
PrestaShop is a multilingual e-commerce software that any number of languages can be added to the system. As it is in beta status, there are exciting upcoming features like product comparison, wishlist or multiple websites.
This PHP shopping cart offers very nice features in the"front-end" like:
- Special deals (price reductions, gift vouchers)
- Text-message alerts
- Featured products on homepage
- Free shipping offers
- Cross-selling (Accessories)
- Order out-of-stock items
- Unlimited payment methods
- Multiple-recipient contact form
- Product tagging & tag cloud
- Offer gift-wrapping & recycled packaging
- PDF customer invoice
- Sale of services & virtual goods
- RSS feed
- Newsletter opt-in
- Pick up in-store option
Requirements: Apache Web Server, PHP 5.0+, MySQL 5.0+

Thats great ecommerce
that looks really promising.
Hi all,
FYI, we’ve just made a release candidate (RC) available for PrestaShop v1.0.
Lots of new features have been implemented since this thread was started 3 months ago, including a snappy new default storefront design.
Catch a sneak preview of v1.0 here:

Prestashop is quicker than Magento, but I prefer to keep my store : http://www.website1service.com
My shop is made with the last magento 1.1.6 virtual product edition. Prestashop does not offer this feature.

I am in the process of setting a new e-commerce operation. I have tried a number of carts in the past and have found them lacking.
Prestashop has been the easiest I have come across, still needs some work but gets my vote.
Have a look at my site at http://www.himitsu-bako.co.uk
The software itself is awesome. However….
PrestaShop support SUCKS! It’s like pulling teeth over there to get an answer. I have been completely ignored in 5 different threads concerning 5 different problems and I was very nice asking for help. There is one person that is very helpful when it’s something he can help you with, but he’s not even part of the development team! The developers release the product and then ignore you when you need help. When you report a bug, they reply that they fixed it but they don’t tell you how! Now I am stuck with a 600-product store that is non-functional and customers screaming at me to get it fixed.
I’ve also completed one of my e-commerce system using prestashop.

The theme is also available to download from my blog.

I have a free theme and some pro-themes for Prestashop im offering.

I agree about their support. IT SUCKS! The program is good though. I finally gave up after a month with no response.. to 4 posts and multiple PM’s to the phantom support team. That does seem to be the business model though. Free software and Paid support. Complete bulls$%* if you ask me.
I think that the dev team should help quite a bit more since this is relatively new and there doesn’t seem to be much of a community yet.
There’s my 3 cents.. Prestashop support is worthless!
you can find prestashop templates from http://www.templatepresta.com
Thanks for the info on this wonderful ecommerce solution. It was exactly what I was looking for.
I could never intalled it

I’ve been running it with nothing but headaches with the last two versions. So much is still broken and the support is really slow.
i have download free themes for prestashop from http://www.prestathemes.com and install it into my prestashop website. i got the problem the category block can appear but it didn’t list of the category that i have inserted on the prestashop website and it contains of error page on my browser but i couldn’t find the error. When i change the themes into default themes, the list of the categories appear and it work without error. anyone can help me to solve the problem? what should i do to fix problem? thanks.
Hi,i’m using this great tool and never i say never i have problem with it.When i ask on french forum there’s always cool guys to give answers.
To help you Evelyn:go to your prestashop admin panel then click on modules then search for categories block,click on it it’ will open it and then disable dynamic tree ou enable it if it was already disable.Then go to your shop and press CTRL+F5 to clean the cache and have a try.
Don’t forget if you have trouble with prestashop there’s always people ready to help.
Sorry for bad english i’m French
Have a nice Day.
Prestashop is really good job. I appriciate the developers of this script. I can find anything I need for an online shop.
I use opencart. very powerful shopping cart. Prestashop is ok but I perfer opencart. It only take me few hours to set up my store.
My store use prestashop, but I had rewrite many scripts before i get that i need. PrestaShop not complete application
Takes time to update from previous version of prestashop; update process is very complicated
When you see open source that don’t include email verify for ppl that register on e-commerce but sell you that mod for 100€ time to walk away.
For me magento will rule all… just give it time, presta will and like phpnuke…
