If you are not satisfied with the standard features of Shopify or PrestaShop, both have a wide range of extension options. For Shopify, there are over 5,000 official apps that you can use to add additional features to the platform or customize existing Shopify features. For PrestaShop, there are almost 4,000 extensions, which in the case of the open-source application are also referred to as “modules”. In both systems, you will find both free and paid add-ons – a special feature of Shopify is the trial period offered in some cases for paid apps.
If you look at the options for visual customization of the store, PrestaShop clearly outshines the competition: Nearly 70 design templates in the Shopify App Store are opposed by over 2,000 themes in the official PrestaShop Marketplace – for a wide variety of industries, such as fashion, electronics, food, or health. In both cases, with a few exceptions, the templates are responsive.
