PrestaShop vs Square Online

PrestaShop is a versatile, open-source e-commerce platform that empowers businesses of any size — from startup merchants to large-scale operations — to design and manage online stores with no licensing fees.

It provides an extensive built-in feature set for product catalog management, order processing, customization, and scalability, supported by a thriving community and third-party module ecosystem.

PrestaShop is respected for its ability to adapt to evolving business requirements and deliver tailored, enterprise-quality storefront experiences.

Square Online is an all-in-one ecommerce and website builder platform that allows businesses of all sizes—especially those already using Square’s POS system—to build professional online stores with ease.

With drag-and-drop editing, theme templates, custom fonts, and site elements like banners, item badges, and configurable layouts, it gives freedom to control branding and design.

Stores can connect custom domains (in paid plans), remove Square branding, list unlimited products, manage inventory, sync with physical store operations, and integrate with social media and Instagram.
