PrestaShop vs WooCommerce: Which E-commerce Platform Fits You?

Both are free, self-hosted e-commerce platforms, but they take different approaches to getting a store online.

WooCommerce: A Plugin on Top of WordPress

WooCommerce adds e-commerce features to an existing WordPress site, making it a natural choice if you already know WordPress or want to combine a blog and store in one place.

PrestaShop: Built for E-commerce Specifically

PrestaShop is a dedicated e-commerce platform from the ground up, with catalog and order management features built in natively rather than added on — often preferred for stores that are e-commerce-first with no separate content site.
