Comparing Prestashop and WooCommerce
Prestashop
WooCommerce
Prestashop
- Design and Templates: Themes of Prestashop are neatly designed and professional looking. You can choose from a 4000 vast range of ready-to-use paid templates. However, it comes with few disadvantages, like you cannot customize the themes, and then installation of the theme is a tricky job.
WooCommerce
- Design and Templates: WooCommerce themes are sorted according to industry type, properly listed, and stylish, making them easier to use. Unlike Prestashop, customization is available.
Our vote goes to WooCommerce in this section.
Prestashop
- Cost: Prestashop themes are of premium quality that is unbeatable when it comes to professionalism and classiness. You will not be getting any free themes, and paid themes are also way too expensive on this platform.
WooCommerce
- Cost: Storefront themes of wooCommerce are entirely free, giving you a decent quality for zero cost. Even the paid themes are cheaper than Prestashop themes. However, you might not get quality as fine as Prestashop premium themes
Since cost is a serious aspect, we will again suggest for WooCommerce.
Prestashop
- User Experience: It is going to give a totally new experience to its users. Once the users are familiar, it is easy for them to operate. To have easy customization and installation, you need to have an expert.
WooCommerce
- User Experience: If you had a site on WordPress already, it is easy to operate since WooCommerce is a Plugin on top of WordPress. You can also have access to the WordPress blog here. New users of WordPress can take time to get accustomed to it.
As both platforms have their own pros and cons, this will be a tie!
Prestashop
- Customer Support System: PrestaShop is an open-source content management system. Many developers are keen to solve your problem though it might take a while for them to respond.
WooCommerce
- Customer Support System: Unlike PrestaShop, the support option is clearly visible, which saves your time. The response time is less on WooCommerce, and the users are provided with adequate support.
WooCommerce is a clear winner for its efficient customer support system.
Conclusion
Based on the pros and cons, you can decide what suits your e-Commerce best. While making a final choice, consider what aspect is most important for you. After all, it’s all your decision in the end.
