How do I create a Prestashop online shop?

Procédure

What is Prestashop?

PrestaShop is a very powerful and comprehensive shop creation software package. In just a few hours of configuration (products, tax levels, options), you can publish your first online shop and benefit from all the advanced e-commerce functions: management of promotions, display of lists of top products, creation of categories, an information newsletter, management of several currencies and international orders if you wish...

You can even offer online payment for your items (you'll need to choose a payment partner to do this). Users who want to get involved can even modify the look and feel of their shop using the resources provided by the software's large community of developers.

Is Prestashop included in all packages?

Prestashop is included as an automatic installation in every shared web hosting package from the mid-range upwards. We do not include it in the entry-level packages, as this software can quickly prove to be greedy in terms of server usage (memory_limit, number of files, etc.). We therefore do not advise you to install it on a package recommended for private users.

How do I install Prestashop using the auto-installer?

11. Log on to your web hosting administration space and click on LWS auto-installer

2. Choose the version of Prestashop v1.7 and click Install.

3. Indicate whether you want Prestashop to be installed at the root of your site (at the base of your site) or in a folder. (If you want to display a shop window, for example)

4. Once the installation is complete. You can access the software by clicking on"Click here".
