keito Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Hi! I'm a newbie here. I'm just confused that Prestashop is only free for 1month and from the 2nd month onwards Prestashop will get a 2% commission every month from there net income/revenue. As far as I know the only Prestashop is free and open-source platform/framework for e-commerce. No commission. No monthly fees. No restriction and free to use. Is there anyone here who can answer my question?? Thankss Edited February 7, 2014 by keito (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambabuy Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hi! I'm a newbie here. I'm confused what my client said that Prestashop is only free for 1month and after that Prestashop will get a commission every month from there net income. And because of that they chose Volusion instead of Prestashop. As far as I know the only Prestashop is free and open-source platform/framework for e-commerce. No commission. No monthly fees. No restriction and free to use. Is there anyone here who can answer my question?? Thankss Nope its free , open source. But there are paid services. you have to pay and get work done.

selectshop.at Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Prestashop is open source and free. Some add-ons or themes are not free and you can buy them securely from here: http://addons.prestashop.com/en/ If you buy from other sources so keep in mind that Prestashop takes no responsibilities. At add-ons you can be sure that the add-ons/themes are tested before Prestashop release them for selling.

tuk66 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 PrestaShop is free but there are paid services around like web hosting and some companies offer special PrestaShop hosting for fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Patron Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Prestashop is open source and free. Some add-ons or themes are not free and you can buy them securely from here: http://addons.prestashop.com/en/ If you buy from other sources so keep in mind that Prestashop takes no responsibilities. At add-ons you can be sure that the add-ons/themes are tested before Prestashop release them for selling. I would add that there are several good 3rd party developers that test better than most official addon's plus the benefit that you can get immediate help. my two cents.
