Prestashop - A complete E-commerce solution

PrestaShop is a free, open source e-commerce solution. It supports payment gateways such as Google Checkout, Authorize.net, Skrill, PayPal and Payments Pro via API. Further payment modules are offered commercially.
PrestaShop is available under the Open Software License and officially launched in August 2007. The software, which is based on the Smarty template engine, is currently used by 125,000+ shops worldwide.[1] PrestaShop is the winner of the 2010 and 2011 Best Open-source Business Application awards.
The PrestaShop group was founded in Paris, with a second office opened in Miami in 2011.
PrestaShop is translated into 53 languages, with only English and French having full support in all release versions.
Technical support is provided on the official forum from PrestaShop growing Community consisting of more than 350,000 active members.
The software makes extensive use of AJAX in the admin panel, while module blocks can be easily added to the store to provide extra functionality; these are normally provided free of charge by independent developers.
The makers of PrestaShop have an official marketplace for priced modules and themes entitled PrestaShop Addons.
There are a number of volunteers who support and contribute their own Addons to PrestaShop. Contributors often program additional features for the software, on top of the 275 features available by default.

Technical requirements

The merchant must have a domain name and a web server with these features:
  • Apache web server 1.3 or later
  • PHP 5 or later
  • MySQL 5 or later
  • Linux, Unix or Windows installed operating system
