PrestaShop – open-source freedom with technical overhead

PrestaShop provides excellent customization options and advanced e-commerce features. However, the open-source model requires businesses to handle server hosting, security, updates, and ongoing technical maintenance, which can increase complexity over time.

Advantages of PrestaShop:

  • complete ownership of code and data,
  • full customization capabilities,
  • advanced multi-language and multi-currency support,
  • extensive module marketplace.

Disadvantages of PrestaShop:

  • self-managed hosting, security, and maintenance,
  • higher dependency on technical resources,
  • plugin conflicts and update challenges,
  • more complex scaling and infrastructure management.

Shopify – fully hosted SaaS simplicity

Shopify removes technical management by offering a fully hosted SaaS solution with automatic updates, built-in security, and seamless scalability. Businesses can focus on sales, marketing, and growth while Shopify handles the infrastructure behind the scenes.

Advantages of Shopify:

  • fully hosted platform with no server management,
  • automatic updates, backups, and security,
  • large app marketplace for extended features,
  • fast deployment and intuitive interface.

Disadvantages of Shopify:

  • monthly subscription fees and app charges,
  • limited backend access for deep customizations,
  • transaction fees for third-party payments,
  • restricted flexibility for highly customized workflows.
