Recent acquisition of Magento by Adobe has caused much dissatisfaction within the Magento community, with many users being unhappy with Adobe’s focus on Adobe Commerce for Enterprise clients leaving the impression that it’s the end of open source within Adobe.
Many merchants who have operated their stores through the Magento platform for many years have made the difficult decision to migrate their stores to other platforms, PrestaShop being one of them. Like Magento, PrestaShop is also an open-source solution for eCommerce. PrestaShop is free to download, but users have to buy themes, templates and modules for the solution to function optimally.
