Prestashop vs Shopify

If you want it easy you will do WP+Woocommerce.

I haven't tried Thirtybees, but if you choose Prestashop be prepared to spend A LOT of time on their forums on every problem you encounter and every change you want to make, and learn SMARTY, or get some serious money ready for themes and plugins, because they're around $50 a piece.

I'v used Prestashop since v1.3 and I had high hopes for the massive rewrite to 1.7, but it ended up being a huge disappointment. I can not recommend Prestashop to anyone.

AGree.. there is just a lot of issues with Prestashop that hasn't been resolved by the core developers.. which Thirtybees has done a fantastic job..

In the long run, thirtybees is still better than WP-woocommerce both in security and page load speed.. the common theme with woocommerce-WP is it's constant updates, especially with the plugins.. had a lot of clients coming to us frustrated especially with the auto-update and security vulnerability..

Of course this can be address by good programmers.. but if you are talking about running it say, 1 years cycle without hiccup.. thirtybees trumps WP-woocommerce... at least from our experience dealing with customer service- post development.

I use prestashop but I hate because have a lot of problems and Need money + to find good person to solve.

Somebody know how to move all to WP?

My vote goes to Shopify. Here are some benefits of choosing Shopify

- Easy To Setup And Use. Shopify is a no-fuss platform, which is easy to setup and use.
- Visually Appealing Online Store.
- App Integrations.
- Security and Reliability.
- Excellent Loading Speed.
- Powerful Marketing Tools.
- Mobile Responsiveness.
- Outstanding Customer Support.

Did you read the replies in this thread?
Try Thirtybees first, you'll be able to import from Prestashop.

Go for Wordpress + Woocommerce if you have experience with Wordpress. If no experience at all go for Shopify.

Shopify less maintainince now need to worry about technical stuff just need to concentrate on business.
Prestashop I think we need to manage on our own. If you have funding then go for prestashop.

Prestashop is very buggy, even their default theme has bugs. Every change you want to make ends you on their forum, searching for hours to solve a simple problem.

Shopify is clean and you can edit the code to suit your needs . It's paid but the developer feature allow you to receive your 50 first orders free of charge to test the service .

If you want to migrate from PS/TB to WP you could use a paid service such as https://www.shopping-cart-migration.com
There are some other options too, most of which are paid.
