WHAT ARE THE PRIMARY DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN PRESTASHOP AND WOOCOMMERCE?
Technology
PrestaShop is ecommerce software designed specifically for online selling purposes. On the other hand, WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin, initially intended for websites that are not primarily focused on online sales, but it enables the transformation of a website into an ecommerce platform.
Design
With any PrestaShop theme, your online store will exhibit recognizable elements typical of an ecommerce website. Conversely, in WordPress, several themes compatible with WooCommerce may not resemble an ecommerce setup, which can lead to confusion.
Characteristics and configuration
PrestaShop was developed to provide an efficient online sales platform, boasting over 600 features. Several of these features are not readily available with WooCommerce, necessitating the use of specific plugins to handle pricing, multi-language or multi-store support, catalog mode, product comparison, data importation, and more.
An evolving solution
PrestaShop is an ideal choice to accommodate your business' expansion, capable of managing very large catalogs (exceeding 100,000 products) and handling high order volumes. In contrast, WooCommerce is not well-suited for large catalogs. Consequently, as your business grows, you may encounter challenges with stock management, order processing, customer service, and other aspects when using WooCommerce.
