Hi guys, i'm about to create an e-commerce store. I'm thinking of using Bootstrap to Wordpress(Woocommerce). However some folks talk about Prestashop. Would you say this is a better solution. What would you recommend.
*It's a small store with less than 500 products but could quickly grow to 1,000products in a few years

You want to make sure whatever solution you choose will scale easily.

Prestashop and Woocommerce and some of the best open source shopping cart solutions out there. I might be a little late with this recommendation, but it's never to late to learn something new!
