Why PrestaShop
PrestaShop is a powerful open-source eCommerce platform, giving businesses full ownership and flexibility over their online storefront. Unlike hosted platforms like Shopify, PrestaShop allows you to customize every part of your webshop—design, features, integrations, and data—without platform limitations or recurring SaaS fees.
It’s particularly suited for:
- B2B and B2C businesses with unique workflows, pricing rules, or customer logic
- Enterprises operating in multiple regions, leveraging multilingual, multi-currency support
- Organizations with in-house IT or agency partners who want full control over code and architecture
- Companies prioritizing flexibility and independence over standardized hosted services
When integrated with Connect, PrestaShop becomes an ERP-powered digital sales channel—fully aligned with your IBM i™ system, highly adaptable, and future-ready.
