This repository contains the source code of PrestaShop, which is intended for development and preview only. To download the latest stable public version of PrestaShop (currently, version 9.0), please go to [the releases page][download].

The first stable version of PrestaShop 9.0 was released on June 10th, 2025. Learn more about it on [the Build devblog](https://build.prestashop-project.org/tag/9.0/).

About the `develop` branch
--------

The `develop` branch of this repository contains the work in progress source code for the next version of PrestaShop. Currently, it is exclusively for version 9.1.

For more information on our branch system, read our guide on [installing PrestaShop for development][install-guide-dev].

Server configuration
--------

To install the latest PrestaShop 9.0, you need a web server running PHP 8.1+ and any flavor of MySQL 5.6+ (MySQL, MariaDB, Percona Server, etc.).

You will also need a database administration tool, such as phpMyAdmin, in order to create a database for PrestaShop.
We recommend the Apache or Nginx web servers (check out our [example Nginx configuration file][example-nginx]).

You can find more information on our [System requirements][system-requirements] page and on the [System Administrator Guide][sysadmin-guide].

Installation
--------

If you downloaded the source code from GitHub, read our guide on [installing PrestaShop for development][install-guide-dev]. If you intend to install a production shop, make sure to download the latest version from [our releases page][download], then read the [install guide for users][install-guide].

## 🐳 Docker Development Environment

PrestaShop provides a complete Docker-based development environment.

### Quick Start

```bash
# Start the development environment
make docker-start

# Access your PrestaShop installation
# Frontend: http://localhost:8001
# Backend: http://localhost:8001/admin-dev
# Email testing: http://localhost:1080
```

**Default Admin Credentials:**
- Email: `demo@prestashop.com`
- Password: `Pr3st4Sh0P`

Or the backoffice on this URL: http://localhost:8001/admin-dev (default access credentials: demo@prestashop.com / Pr3st4Sh0P)

You can customize the admin credentials by setting the following environment variables before running docker compose:
```
export ADMIN_MAIL=your-email@example.com
export ADMIN_PASSWD=Your-Secure-Password
docker compose up
```

Docker will bind your port **8001** to the web server. If you want to use other port, open and modify the file `docker-compose.yml`.
MySQL credentials can also be found and modified in this file if needed.

**Note:**  Before auto-installing PrestaShop, this container checks the file *app/config/parameters.php* does not exist on startup.
If you expect the container to (re)install your shop, remove this file if it exists. And make sure the container user `www-data`
has write access to the whole workspace.

Reporting Issues
--------

Our bugtracker is on GitHub. We encourage you to [create detailed issues][create-issue] as soon as you see them.

Read our [Contribute by reporting issues guide][reporting-issues] for details and tips.


Reporting Security Issues
--------

Responsible (and private) disclosure is a standard practice when someone encounters a security problem: before making it public, the discoverer informs the Core team about it, so that a fix can be prepared, and thus minimize the potential damage.

The PrestaShop team tries to be very proactive when preventing security problems. Even so, critical issues might surface without notice.

This is why we have set up a [Bug Bounty Program][bug-bounty] where anyone can privately contact us with all the details about issues that affect the security of PrestaShop merchants or customers. Our security team will answer you, and discuss of a timeframe for your publication of the details.

Understanding a security issue means knowing how the attacker got in and hacked the site. If you have those details, then please do contact us privately about it (and please do not publish those details before we answer). If you do not know how the attacker got in, please [ask for help][support].


Extending PrestaShop
--------

PrestaShop is a very extensible e-commerce platform, both through modules and themes. Developers can even override the default components and behaviors. Learn more about this on the [Modules documentation][modules-devdocs] and the [Themes documentation][themes-devdocs].


Community forums
--------

You can discuss about e-commerce, help other merchants and get help, and contribute to improving PrestaShop together with the PrestaShop community on [PrestaShop Slack channel][chat], [project's discussions on GitHub][ghdiscussions] or on the [the PrestaShop forums][forums].
