E-commerce

The acquisition of PrestaShop by cyber_Folks with the involvement of Sylius shows that the focus is not a single platform, but an entire e-commerce ecosystem. The article analyzes technological roles, portfolio logic, and the consequences for mid-market and complex e-commerce projects.

The acquisition of PrestaShop by Cyber_Folks with the involvement of Sylius changes not only ownership, but also governance and decision-making. This article explains why PrestaShop is no longer an independent open source project and what this means for mature e-commerce organizations.

Cyber_Folks’ acquisition of PrestaShop, with Sylius and BitBag involved, won’t change daily operations overnight, but it can reshape development priorities, monetisation and users’ independence over the next years. We explain what it means in 2026 and what steps are worth taking without panic.

In 2026 comparing e-commerce platforms “by features” often leads to wrong decisions. What matters is development predictability, maintenance cost, licensing risk, change velocity, and how easily you connect sales with ERP, PIM, WMS, marketing and analytics. We compare PrestaShop vs Shopware from that angle.

Migration from PrestaShop to Shopware in 2026 is increasingly driven not by one technical issue, but by the need to regain control over architecture, costs and development pace. We outline warning signs, differences in customisation and code ownership, and how to plan a migration without interrupting sales continuity.

In PrestaShop, modules initially bring speed and flexibility, but in large stores they can turn into real business risk over time. We show how vendor lock-in grows through compatibility issues, abandoned modules and closed code, why core updates become high-risk projects, and how to regain control over e-commerce architecture.

When choosing an e-commerce platform, it’s easy to focus on features, UX and implementation costs. Yet long-term security and business value often depend on the licence. We explain what MIT, OSL-3.0 and AFL-3.0 mean in practice and how they affect IP ownership, independence, lock-in risk, maintenance costs and due diligence.

PrestaShop’s acquisition by Cyberfolks brings back a fundamental question: what does “open source” mean when real control depends on licences, modules and marketplace policy? We analyse OSL-3.0 limits, the core + marketplace lock-in model and realistic scenarios for the next 12-36 months.

Omnichannel in e-commerce has stopped being a buzzword and has become a real operational challenge. Companies that treat online and offline sales as separate worlds increasingly lose control over data, processes, and customer experience.
In this article, we explain what omnichannel really means, how to connect online and offline sales into one coherent model, and where to start so that channel integration supports growth instead of creating chaos.

In e-commerce, sales problems often stem not from pricing or traffic issues, but from chaos in the product catalog. Inconsistent categories, poorly designed variants, and unclear filters make purchasing decisions unnecessarily difficult.
This article explains how to manage products effectively and organize catalogs in a way that supports sales, improves user experience, and enables scalable growth.
