Have worked with Magento and Woocommerce, i definitely prefer prestashop due to it's power combined with the ease of use and normal addon prices. Imo magento is the leader, but it is becoming harder and harder to maintain and use and much more expensive

But, what about the frequent updates of PrestaShop ?
I think p.shop requires a periodical update to avoid the "breakpoint", namely the point where upgrade is not able anymore

If you need an e-commerce website = PrestaShop
If you need a website that sells = Woocommerce

Worked with magento, prestashop, and woo.
Woo is the easiest to set up.
Prestashop doesn't have many tutorials so you're on your own sometimes.
Also, woo community is way larger.

Wordpress made for building blogs. And the woocomerce plugin just using the wordpress database tables to store the products. Because of this my woocomerce eshops are running very slow after 2-3 years.

Upgrades are easy and then they are within a version, most of the plugins are still working. On major updates you will need to rewrite plugins and themes on all platform. Also, frequent updates happen on all major ecommerce scripts

Consider Prestashop on 1.6, runs with php5, Prestashop 1.7 and beta8 run with php7
How do you manage the update?
Most of tables are changed into database, and automatic updater doesnt complete the process because some parts works only with php7 but your version (1.6) still works on php5..

I think that a major update on prestashop requires more money and more sacrifice.
Probably you'll need to re-buy some modules

Well, if you read the documantation and follow the steps this is not a problem. Major updates like this happen once in 5 years. If you keep updating your site, when this time will come it will be easy to upgrade

I am conflicted as to choose which one....
ogni cms ha il suo vantaggio io preferisco prestashop per un ecommerce perchè nel tempo si finisce sempre a gestire molti articoli e prestashop in questo è migliore
