Shopify or PrestaShop?

PrestaShop still powers many French online stores. The question isn't which one is "better", but which one fits your team.

01

The weight of maintenance

With PrestaShop you own the code, so you are responsible for updates, security and module compatibility. Many stores end up stuck on an old version because upgrading costs too much. Shopify removes that problem entirely.

02

When PrestaShop still makes sense

If you have an in-house technical team, very particular business rules or an obligation to host your data on your own infrastructure, PrestaShop remains a reasonable choice.

03

Why most stores migrate

The most common reason isn't design but accumulated technical debt: incompatible modules, slowness, and maintenance costs that rise year after year.

Is migrating from PrestaShop to Shopify risky?

It is under control when it is prepared. The critical point remains the 301 redirect plan, because URL structures differ a lot between the two platforms.
