PrestaShop is a free, open-source e-commerce platform that allows brands to create their own online store.
Unlike marketplace models, PrestaShop allows brands to own and manage their online store, potentially increasing control over branding and customer experience. This can be particularly attractive for brands seeking independence.
PrestaShop offers a scalable platform that can grow with a business. Brands can potentially customize the platform's functionalities and appearance using themes and modules to fit their specific needs.
Being open-source, PrestaShop offers access to the core code for advanced customization. This flexibility can benefit both brands and 3PLs. Brands can achieve a highly customized store, and 3PLs can potentially develop custom integrations if needed.
PrestaShop is a free, open-source platform. This can be a cost-effective solution for brands, especially startups or those on a budget. 3PLs implementing custom integrations might also benefit from the open-source nature, potentially reducing development costs compared to proprietary platforms.
