Etailers are constantly seeking new paths to growth. Expansion into new markets is a popular means for reaching new growth targets and boosting returns in overall portfolios. As online sales skyrocket in European markets, an online presence is a low-risk way to enter new markets.

There are some significant market differences between European countries, showcasing the need to spend time researching and to launch an ecommerce website as opposed to a knee-jerk reaction to a few international orders. There’s so much to consider with international expansion and one-size-fits-all strategy is not always an appropriate approach.

Prestashop contributes to providing ebusiness companies an e-cart software meeting most of their requirements, and thereby increasing their ability to succeed abroad.
