What are the main differences between PrestaShop and WooCommerce?
PrestaShop is an ecommerce software created specifically to sell online. WooCommerce is a plug-in for WordPress (CMS for websites whose initial goal is not online sales) which offers the possibility to turn a website into an ecommerce.
With any PrestaShop theme, your online store will display recognizable elements of an ecommerce website. On the contrary, in WordPress, a number of themes compatible with WooCommerce do not look like an ecommerce, which can be confusing.
PrestaShop was created in order to offer an efficient online sales platform with over 600 features. Many of these features aren’t available with WooCommerce and you’ll need to use specific plug-ins to manage pricing, multi-language or multi-store support, catalog mode, product comparison, data importation, and others.
PrestaShop is ideal to follow your business’ growth, it can handle very large catalogs (over 100,000 products) and high order amounts. WooCommerce is not adapted for large catalogs. As such, if your activity grows, you will quickly run into problems related to stock management, order processing, customer service, etc.
