    prestashop is very fast, much faster than Joomla+VM but French authors have bugs everywhere in Presta and this causing you have to change lot of files. It will be impossible to upgrade later or you have to change the things again and again.... i hate this on Presta.

    Presta has got a lot of potential. I use it on this site: www.glasswaredreams.com , i have had to do a lot of customization to americanize it but it is free and has a lot of nice features to make the shop easy to run from an order processing standpoint.

    I like detailed stats with very good order tracing.

    You can easily analyze any PPC campaigns and all other traffic sources to get exact conversion rates....

    However the system has still a few bugs...but which system is bugless :)

    I experimented with OS commerce and found it good except with the template thingy.
    Presto promises to be a good alternative.

    And congrats buddy on your ecommerce site. It's cool.

    Hi, this is my first post other than my introduction.

    I use Prestashop on this site www.blossomcart.com. This is a very good script, very easy to modify. I have to customaries a lot to fit my need, but I think it is the best open source in the market. I tried magento before I settled for Prestashop. Yes, Magento is powerful, but the learning curve is also very deep.

    Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. good PrestaShop template site ? You mean where to find good Prestashop template? If that is what you mean, there are a lot of free templates offer by the Prestashop forum members. I use the default template and customized it to the way I want.

    Oh. I am not sure if there is "an" official prestashop template site. I do know some Prestashop forum members have their own sites to show their commercial or non-commercial templates. But I had never use or check on any of them. I really don't know which one is a good one. Sorry.:(

    The seo efforts aren't too bad, it's still about the content and the links -- with oscommerce, a simple way to change templates is to just switch up the files and make daily / weekly backups / backups before changes

    That's a nice looking site!

    Is anyone using Prestashop for dropshipping, using a dropshipper's database?
