PrestaShop coworking evaluation stub

This is an incomplete evaluation stub, not an implementation guide.

Verified snapshot

PrestaShop is an e-commerce platform under OSI-approved OSL-3.0, available self-hosted and through managed offerings. The coworking case is a small catalog for merchandise, event tickets, or day passes. Software is free; payment fees, themes, modules, hosting, and maintenance may cost money. It holds customers, orders, products, personal data, and payment-related data.

Sources reviewed 2026-07-17: homepage, repository, and developer docs.

Evaluation questions

  • Is a full commerce platform justified for day passes?
  • Which payment-provider integration keeps card data out of the store?
  • How are orders reconciled to door/front-desk check-ins and refunds?
  • Which themes/modules are maintained, licensed, and exportable?

Smallest experiment

Create a minimal staging catalog for one synthetic day-pass product and manually reconcile test orders to check-ins. Use only a test payment path and export the orders.

Risks

  • Payment, refund, inventory, and check-in mismatch
  • Theme/module supply-chain and maintenance burden
  • Personal/payment data and export portability

TODO before a full guide

  • Threat-model checkout, admin, provider, plugins, and webhooks
  • Verify theme/module licenses and current maintenance
  • Test products/customers/orders export and clean restore
  • Define manual sales, refund, and check-in fallback
