PrestaShop handles multi-language and multi-currency selling better than most platforms of its size, which is usually why businesses are on it and why leaving is less obvious than it looks.
PrestaShop is built around selling in several languages and currencies, with tax rules that differ by territory. Retailers trading across Europe often chose it for exactly that, and the alternatives tend to need plugins and compromise to match it.
The difficulties are usually version upgrades and module quality. Major versions have changed substantially, third-party modules vary enormously, and a shop carrying a dozen of them can find an upgrade blocked by the one that was never updated.
We work on PrestaShop as it is, rather than treating every enquiry as a migration opportunity. If the multi-territory capability is why you are there, replacing it is a bigger decision than it first appears.
What we do
Working UK-wide — directly with businesses, and white label behind design and marketing agencies.
Discuss a projectCustom modules where nothing off the shelf fits, written so an upgrade does not undo them.
Planned around your module stack, tested on a copy, because that is what decides whether an upgrade is routine or a project.
Payment providers, checkout changes and the tax and shipping rules that go with selling into several countries.
Catalogue size, query load and caching. Large PrestaShop catalogues slow down in predictable places.
Stock, pricing and orders connected to the accounting or ERP system behind the shop.
Security patches and someone available when checkout misbehaves on a Friday.
Not the core. We assess the module stack before quoting an upgrade, because that is where the surprises live.
If you sell in several languages and currencies, matching that elsewhere is real work. Count it properly before moving.
Shops with edits to core files cannot be upgraded cleanly. Finding that out is part of the assessment, and it changes the plan.
A lot of our work is delivered white label or under agreement, so these describe the problem and the approach rather than naming the client.

Those two things determine almost everything about what is possible and what it costs. We will tell you where you stand before quoting.
