Top Strategies for PrestaShop Startups to Succeed in 2025’s Competitive eCommerce Market
Want to accelerate your PrestaShop growth journey?
Boostmyshop's suite is tailored for ambitious e-merchants like you.
Based on what we observed at FOP Days 2025 and our experience supporting hundreds of merchants, here are the top strategies to build a high-performing PrestaShop business in 2025.
Start with a Clean, Scalable Product Catalog
Before you worry about pricing or advertising, get your product catalog right. Why? Because a disorganized catalog is the silent killer of conversions and SEO.
For PrestaShop startups, this is your foundation. Without a clean, scalable catalog, you’ll hit roadblocks when expanding to marketplaces or scaling your product range.
Key pillars of a healthy catalog:
- Accurate and unique product titles
- Structured variants (size, color, packaging, etc.)
- Proper categorization aligned with both PrestaShop and external marketplaces
- Standardized attributes (brand, dimensions, barcode/EAN, SKU)
Use Automation to Save Time (and Sanity)
Manually cleaning and organizing product data is not scalable. That’s where smart automation tools like Boostmyshop’s myMarket come in.
With myMarket, startups can:
- Match products using AI to existing catalogs using EAN or ASIN lookups
- Automatically map attributes and categories to marketplace requirements
- Avoid duplicate SKUs and reduce listing errors
Example: If you’re selling phone accessories, myMarket can recognize EANs, match the product to Amazon or Cdiscount data, and auto-fill brand, dimensions, and compatibility—saving hours per week.
Embrace Marketplace Expansion Early
Selling only on your .com site isn’t enough. Shoppers today move across channels, and omnichannel sellers grow 190% faster than single-channel brands (Harvard Business Review).
Go Multichannel From Day One
As a PrestaShop startup, leverage your early momentum by plugging into:
- Prestashop Addons Marketplace (the official plugin ecosystem)
- Regional players like Cdiscount, Fnac, Allegro, or Bol.com
- Global giants like Amazon, eBay, and Etsy
- Emerging social marketplaces like TikTok Shop and Meta Commerce
Use the Right Multichannel Tools
As you grow, you’ll need a multichannel-ready system that:
- Connects PrestaShop with multiple marketplaces
- Syncs inventory and orders in real time
- Adapts pricing by channel rules
- Consolidates order tracking and fulfillment
Boostmyshop’s myFulfillment makes this process seamless—connecting your PrestaShop catalog to 280+ channels, syncing inventory, managing orders, and avoiding costly overselling or fulfillment delays.
Master Pricing with Real-Time Competitive Intelligence
Pricing is no longer a one-time decision it’s a dynamic strategy that needs to adapt to real-time market shifts, competitor behavior, and customer expectations.
According to McKinsey, retailers using dynamic pricing increase profits by 25% on average. The catch? You need the data and the tools to do it right.
Leverage AI-Powered Pricing Tools
Manual price tracking is impossible to scale—and error-prone. That’s why automation is essential. Tools like Boostmyshop’s myPricing are built to help startups:
- Monitor competitor pricing across 280+ channels
- Perform reverse ASIN and EAN lookups to identify your direct competition
- Apply pricing rules dynamically (based on cost, desired margin, or sales velocity)
- Visualize price positioning with real-time dashboards
Boostmyshop’s myPricing helps PrestaShop startups monitor 280+ channels, detect price gaps, and deploy intelligent repricing based on real-time market signals.
Prioritize Customer Experience & Post-Purchase Touchpoints
According to Salesforce’s 2024 State of the Connected Customer report, 80% of shoppers say the experience a brand provides is as important as its products.
For PrestaShop startups, this means going beyond the sale to create memorable, trustworthy, and seamless shopping experiences.
Speed, Transparency & Flexibility Are Non-Negotiable
Here’s what today’s consumers expect:
- Fast and predictable delivery (with tracking links that actually work)
- Simple return policies clearly stated pre-checkout
- Click & Collect options, especially valued by EU shoppers in urban areas
- Localized communication via email/SMS for delivery updates and support
With Boostmyshop’s solutions integrated into PrestaShop, you can automate customer updates, offer real-time tracking, and even enable local pickup through your POS setup using myWebPOS.
Track KPIs and Adapt Fast
KPIs Every PrestaShop Startup Should Monitor:
- Conversion rates (by channel, device, campaign)
- Product-level performance (bestsellers vs dead stock)
- Cart abandonment rates (and recovery success)
- Fulfillment KPIs (shipping speed, error rates)
- Pricing competitiveness and margin trends
Actionable Insights, Not Just Numbers
Real-time data is useful only if it drives decisions. That’s why tools like Boostmyshop’s Insight Suite are built not just to track KPIs—but to make them actionable:
- Visual dashboards across operations, pricing, and fulfillment
- Alerts for anomalies (e.g., sudden drop in conversion or stock-out risk)
- Recommendations based on actual performance trends
