Is PrestaShop suited to the Moroccan market?

Yes. PrestaShop supports Arabic, the dirham (MAD), local payment modules (CMI) and is very widespread in Morocco.

PrestaShop vs WooCommerce: which to choose?

PrestaShop is designed specifically for e-commerce — better for large catalogs and B2B. WooCommerce is perfect if you already have a WordPress site or a small catalog.

How much RAM for PrestaShop?

Minimum 2 GB for a medium-sized catalog. For 10,000+ products or high simultaneous traffic, 4 GB is recommended.

How do you migrate an existing PrestaShop store?

Export the database and the media from your current host. Import them onto the VPS. The ServOrbit team can perform this migration free of charge on request.

About PrestaShop

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.
