Hi, im after some information about prestashop, been using shopify in the past but not done anything with it with being busy elsewhere. i am now back on it and want to move forward with the online shop.
Any help i can get would be very appreciated like are there any hidden costs, limitations (i only have 7 products to sell), ease of theme customising.

We use Prestashop at my work, really easy to use and update. But at the same time, very powerful and customizable. Both the self-hosting and cloud versions are completely free and it's all open-source.

Customising the theme however is trickier, requiring the knowledge of PHP/Smarty, CSS and the internals of Prestashop (hooks, classes, methods etc).

assuming % cuts from sales it might be cheaper in the long run to look at some webhosting of your own + wordpress + woocommerce.
