Build and run an online store.
PrestaShop
French-speaking open-source e-commerce — advanced catalog, multi-store and 5000+ modules.
Tech stack
PrestaShop is one of the most widely used open-source e-commerce platforms in France, the Maghreb and French-speaking Africa. Designed to be complete right out of the box, it includes advanced catalog management (variants, attributes, combinations), multi-store, promotions and discount codes, returns management and a powerful back office.
On your VPS, PrestaShop has the resources it deserves — unlike shared hosting where it can suffer from slowness. The template configures PHP-FPM, MariaDB and the cache settings recommended by PrestaShop for optimal performance.
