## What it is
PrestaShop is an open-source e-commerce web application written in PHP (built on Symfony) for creating and managing online stores. It provides a storefront, admin back office, module/theme ecosystem, multi-language and multi-currency support, and integrations with major payment services.

## Use cases
- build an online store
- self-host an e-commerce website
- manage products, orders, and customers in a back office
- create a multilingual multi-currency shop
- customize a storefront with themes and modules
- integrate payment gateways into a shop
- migrate or upgrade an existing PrestaShop store

## When to choose
- you want a mature, self-hosted e-commerce platform with a large module and theme ecosystem
- you need multi-language, multi-currency, and multi-store support out of the box
- your team works in PHP/Symfony and wants full control over the source code
- you need a built-in admin back office and REST/GraphQL Admin API for integrations

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight storefront or headless-only solution with minimal footprint
- you prefer JavaScript-based stacks like Node.js e-commerce frameworks
- you want a fully managed SaaS store without server administration
- you run on shared hosting that cannot meet PHP 8.1+ and MySQL 5.6+ requirements
