Our verdict

Choose PrestaShop when you want a commerce-first open-source cart (or its Hosted twin) and you are not already committed to WordPress. Consider WooCommerce for WordPress-native open source; Shopware for a more modern Symfony/enterprise OSS path; Magento for deeper B2B/enterprise; Shopify for hosted SaaS. Scores reflect first-party documentation as of 2026-08-17 — not hands-on product testing. Confirm current packaging, minimums and usage rates on the vendor site before purchase.

Best for

EU/global merchants wanting a commerce-first open-source cart
Teams that will self-host Classic or buy Hosted to skip DevOps
Catalogs that outgrew website-builder commerce but do not need Magento TCO

Not ideal for

WordPress-native content + store teams (see WooCommerce)
SMB founders wanting a full hosted commerce OS (see Shopify)
Retailers whose center of gravity is POS hardware

Bottom line

Classic: free open-source license + hosting/module TCO. Hosted from ~$26/mo annual (€24 excl. VAT) with 14-day trial. Enterprise: contact sales. Confirm live EUR tiles.
