PrestaShop

Free open-source ecommerce software popular in Europe, now part of cyber_Folk

Overview

PrestaShop is a free, open-source ecommerce platform founded in 2007 that merchants download and host themselves[16]. The company says more than 230,000 stores run on PrestaShop worldwide, generating €22 billion in gross merchandise value, and its homepage cites more than 250,000 merchants[16][17]. It operates the PrestaShop Addons marketplace for modules and themes and a “Million Club” for merchants above €1 million in sales, and the Classic edition’s source code can be downloaded free[17].

In 2026 PrestaShop joined the European technology group cyber_Folk, which describes itself as building the largest ecommerce ecosystem in Europe, serving more than 700,000 customers and generating €35 billion in GMV; PrestaShop sits in its cyber_Pixel unit alongside the Sylius platform[16]. The company says its commitment since founding has been no subscription fees and no proprietary lock-in[16].

PrestaShop has no licence fee, but merchants pay for hosting, paid modules and development.
