Building an online store for free with prestashop
July 12th, 2008
We know, in this last month the online store application was dominated by OSCommerce. But hey, where are you come from? I was excited by a new online store / shopping cart software named prestashop.
With it’s minimalistic design, embedded modules and blocks, the prestashop combine the fast load time like wordpress with great shopping cart application.
Here are the features I like:
- Payment processor: paypal, cheque, bank transfer, and Cash on Delivery
- Clear back office and elegant front office
- Web stats / tracking: Google Analytics / Custom code blocks available
- Search Engine Friendly URL (SEF) option available
- Localization
- Theme
- Block / Module
