Where PrestaShop fits
Choose it when the store needs control over its hosting and extension stack.
Check before you choose
Check module compatibility and plan ongoing security updates alongside the store design.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Begin with operational ownership. A hosted platform manages infrastructure; self-managed store software leaves updates and hosting with you. Payment eligibility and transaction fees need their own review.
