It is legitimate to wonder whether PrestaShop complies with certain certifications, such as NF525, ISO 27001, or others. This is not the case natively: any compliance with a standard or certification is the responsibility of the shop owner.
How can I have my shop certified?
If you need a specific feature to be considered compliant with certain certifications, you can:
- modify the source code of your store to ensure its compliance;
- add a module that ensures this compliance to your store.
Such modules are available on the PrestaShop Marketplace. Consider contacting the developer of any product before purchasing it, in order to confirm that it meets your certification needs.
If you need help with specific developments, you can contact one of our PrestaShop experts.
A little context to go further
PrestaShop is open source.
First of all, it is important to remember that PrestaShop is an open source solution, distributed under a free license (Open Software License 3,0 or OSL-3.0, written in English). The software is maintained by an international community of programmers in collaboration with our teams, to evolve and improve it over time.
The company PrestaShop has developed offerings based on the open-source solution, such as the Hosted and Classic offerings. Furthermore, PrestaShop manages its Marketplace where a wide range of addons is available to implement more features than those already present in the open-source version. These addons can be developed by PrestaShop, by PrestaShop partners, or by third-party programmers.

⚠️ Each actor in this complex ecosystem is responsible for their own products and services. |
PrestaShop is adaptable.
A single solution cannot cover all the situations of its users, which is why the PrestaShop software is customizable to meet very different needs.
Furthermore, paragraph 7 of the OSL 3,0 states that PrestaShop is provided "as is and without warranty, express or implied, including, but not limited to, warranties of non-infringement, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose."
That is why, if PrestaShop is not inherently compliant with all possible certifications, it cannot be considered non-compliant either, due to its adaptability. It is the responsibility of each user to ensure that their use of PrestaShop allows them to meet the legal requirements to which they are subject.
