Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between PrestaShop, Magento and WooCommerce?

They’re suited to different stages of growth. WooCommerce is the fastest and cheapest to launch since it runs on WordPress. PrestaShop adds native B2B pricing, multi-store and multi-language support without per-store licensing fees. Magento/Adobe Commerce is built for large, complex catalogues and high order volumes. We host and support all three, and can advise honestly on which fits your situation.

Which ecommerce platform is best for B2B businesses?

PrestaShop and Magento both handle B2B well. PrestaShop suits businesses needing custom customer-group pricing and Sage/Finance integrations without enterprise-level complexity; Magento suits larger catalogues selling to both businesses and consumers from one platform.

When should I move from WooCommerce to a dedicated platform like PrestaShop or Magento?

WooCommerce works well for smaller and growing stores, but as order volume, catalogue complexity or B2B pricing needs increase, a dedicated platform handles it more natively. We’ve guided several clients through exactly that move, and we’ll tell you honestly when that point is worth considering.

Is PrestaShop or Magento better for a large product catalogue?

Magento/Adobe Commerce is generally the better fit for very large, complex catalogues and high order volumes. PrestaShop handles substantial catalogues well too, particularly where multi-store or multi-language setups and custom B2B pricing matter more than sheer scale.

Which platform is cheapest to start with?

WordPress/WooCommerce has the lowest starting cost, since there’s no platform licensing fee and it runs on familiar WordPress infrastructure. PrestaShop is also free of licensing fees. Magento/Adobe Commerce is the most resource-intensive of the three to host and run.

Can Shopcreator help me migrate between platforms?

Yes. We’ve migrated clients between WooCommerce, Magento and PrestaShop in both directions, depending on what suited them at the time, including taking over hosting, support and ongoing development as part of the move.
