PrestaShop
Open-source e-commerce software from France. Self-host your store with full control over data, code, and hosting – no monthly platform fee.
Quick facts
There's no monthly platform fee the way Shopify charges – you self-host and own the code outright, so store growth doesn't come with an ever-rising subscription.
Self-hosting means you're responsible for security updates, performance and uptime yourself, unless you pay for managed hosting or an agency.
Why does it score 82?
Incorporated in Paris, France – a full EU member state.
Acquired by Italian group MBE Worldwide, with a sale to Polish group cyber_Folks pending – either way the parent stays inside the EU, though it isn't a fully independent company.
PrestaShop runs on infrastructure hosted in France rather than a third-party cloud.
Fully open source and GDPR-compliant – merchants can audit or modify the code running their own store.
