Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I buy PrestaShop modules?
The official PrestaShop Addons marketplace is the safest source with verified compatibility. Third-party marketplaces like PrestaHero and Addons Market also offer quality modules. Avoid nulled or pirated modules—they frequently contain malware.
How many modules should I install?
Aim for 15–25 active modules. Each module adds processing overhead and potential security risk. Choose fewer, high-quality modules over many cheap alternatives. Deactivate and uninstall unused modules.
