PrestaShop is an eCommerce platform that makes it easy for you to build an online store. Easily add products, manage your inventory, process payments, manage taxes, and calculate shipping rates, and more. This can all be handled right from a single location, known as the Dashboard. 

PrestaShop is also a good platform for advanced web developers, allowing you to custom-build your own themes and modules. 

Explore the many PrestaShop tutorials available here in our Support Center and we will help guide you through building a successful online store.
