Choose the PrestaShop solution made for you

Unlike the Basic version, PrestaShop Edition includes the installation and hosting of your store as well as a support offer to help you easily create your store. PrestaShop Edition works as a monthly subscription, which is not the case for PrestaShop Edition Basic.

PrestaShop Edition is a turnkey subscription solution. It includes several essential services to start your online business (hosting, assistance, legal, payment, design, shipping), which is why it is a fee-based offer. With PrestaShop Edition Basic, you can download the software for free. However, expect to pay additional costs such as the purchase of a domain name and web hosting as well as the purchase of certain modules and themes to personalize your site.

PrestaShop Edition Basic is open source, which means you can download it for free. However, the costs of hosting the site and domain are your responsibility. Free and paid themes and modules are also available on the PrestaShop Addons marketplace to design an online store that matches your brand.

Yes, both solutions are open source, which means that your online store belongs to you and is also fully customizable.

PrestaShop Edition Basic requires some technical knowledge, especially to install your store on a server. Nevertheless, the different web hosts offer 1-click hosting offers to facilitate this step. Finally, technical knowledge will also be useful to personalize and adapt the shop to your needs (or those of your customers).

Software is open source when you can access its source code, design plans, or content, study it, modify it, or redistribute it. By definition, an open source project is public and therefore accessible to anyone on the web, for any activity, without discrimination. Thus, by using the open source software of PrestaShop, you will be the full owner of your online store and its activity.
