7 things Shopify can do vs. PrestaShop and WordPress

Provide hosting

Unlike PrestaShop and WordPress, Shopify provides hosting to merchants on all plans. Since hosting is included, you’ll have a reliable uptime to ensure your site stays up during high volume sales events or high traffic virality. Neither PrestaShop nor WordPress offers hosting to their users, meaning third-party hosting is required.

Include unlimited bandwidth

As Shopify provides hosting to merchants, it’s able to control bandwidth. Shopify offers both unlimited and unmetered bandwidth to merchants on all plans. That means you’ll be able to download and upload as much data as you need to, to and from your site. WordPress has a 3 GB storage limit. PrestaShop doesn’t control bandwidth and storage limits.

Offer a free trial

Neither PrestaShop nor WordPress offer a free trial to their users. It can be hard to know how the platform works and what your site may look like. At Shopify, you get access to a two-week free trial that allows you to play around with the backend and design your website. You can even use the first two weeks to make your initial sales. After the trial is up, you can decide whether to continue or end your entrepreneurial journey.

Support your business 24/7

PrestaShop provides chat support if the self-support queries don’t help solve your problem. WordPress offers phone support and more, but it’s less straightforward. Shopify support is available 24/7, no matter which plan you’re on. You’ll also have access to help docs, webinars, blog posts, and online courses to guide you along the way.

Ensure a secure website

Who offers better security: PrestaShop vs. WordPress? Actually, neither even offers an SSL certificate to ensure that you have a secure website for your visitors and customers. Fortunately, all merchants using Shopify will have an SSL certificate added to their website from day one.

Protect against fraud

While PrestaShop, WordPress, and Shopify all offer fraud prevention. PrestaShop and WordPress use third-party plug-ins or apps to offer it, so you need to manually find a provider and add it yourself. On Shopify, fraud prevention is built in, so you can assess the risk of processing a customer’s order with clear labels: low, medium, and high risk.

Allow sales on Shop app

Neither PrestaShop nor WordPress provide an app for you to manage your orders. Shopify’s Shop app is a shopping assistant that lets you track, pay, and shop better.
