If you run an online store on PrestaShop, the platform already gives you a solid base: catalog, checkout, customer accounts and a back office to manage it all. But running an eCommerce business also means taking care of payments, marketing, shipping, returns and customer experience, and that is where PrestaShop modules come in.
Modules are what other platforms call a PrestaShop app or plugins: add-ons that extend your store without touching its core code. Choosing the right ones matters, because every module adds cost, maintenance and a bit of weight to your store. The goal is a lean setup where each module does one job well, rather than a pile of overlapping add-ons.
We have grouped the most useful modules from the official marketplace, PrestaShop Addons, and from trusted developers by the area of your business they improve, so you can go straight to the part of your store you want to fix first.
In short: the PrestaShop modules worth knowing
- Shipping, returns and tracking: Outvio, one integration for 90+ couriers, branded tracking and self-service returns.
- Payments: PrestaShop Checkout built with PayPal, PayPal Official, Stripe Official and Cash on delivery.
- Marketing and social: PrestaShop Social, PrestaShop Marketing with Google, Klaviyo, Mailchimp and the native social and cross-selling modules.
- Store and product pages: Google Analytics, Glotio, GDPR Compliance, Brand list, Specials block, Theme Customization, Zakeke and review modules.
- Rule of thumb: one strong module per job, tested on a staging copy before it goes live.

What PrestaShop modules are and how to choose them
Before installing anything, it helps to understand what a module actually adds to your store and how to tell a useful one from one that will only slow you down.
PrestaShop modules, apps and plugins: the same thing
In PrestaShop, a module is a package of code you install from your back office to add a feature: a payment method, a carrier connection, a marketing integration or a new block on your homepage. Many people search for a PrestaShop app or PrestaShop plugins, but on this platform they all mean the same thing.
Some modules work on their own, like a brand list or a specials block. Others are connectors to an external platform, such as a payment provider, an email marketing tool or a shipping platform. In that case the module is usually just the bridge, and the real cost and features depend on the service behind it.
How to choose the right modules for your store
- Start with the problem, not the module. List the bottlenecks you want to fix, such as checkout drop-off, slow fulfilment or low repeat sales, and solve each one with a single tool.
- Check compatibility. Confirm the PrestaShop and PHP versions a module supports before you buy it, especially if you plan to upgrade your store soon.
- Look at the real cost. Add the module price, any subscription behind it and per-transaction fees for a normal month. A cheap module that needs three others to work is rarely cheap.
- Prefer official or well-maintained developers. They tend to release updates quickly after each PrestaShop version and answer support requests.
- Avoid overlaps. Two modules doing the same job create conflicts and slow your pages down. Replacing several single-purpose modules with one platform, as Outvio does for post-purchase, keeps the stack lighter.
How to install a PrestaShop module
In your back office, go to Modules > Module Manager and click Upload a module. Select the ZIP file, wait for the installation to finish and click Configure to set it up. Modules bought on PrestaShop Addons can also be installed straight from the Module Manager.
Install and test new modules on a staging copy of your store first. It is the easiest way to catch conflicts with your theme or other modules before customers see them.
PrestaShop modules for shipping, payments and store management
These modules cover the operational side of your store: getting orders out the door, getting paid and keeping your data and legal basics in order.
1. Outvio: shipping, tracking and returns
Outvio for PrestaShop connects your store with all of your couriers and automates what happens after checkout. Orders sync in real time, and you can ship with 90+ couriers using shipping rules that pick the right carrier automatically, then print labels in bulk.
For your customers, Outvio adds a branded tracking page and shipping notifications in their language, plus a self-service portal for returns and exchanges that follows your own rules. A help desk with unlimited agents is part of the same platform, so order questions are answered with the full order and return history in view.
2. PrestaShop Checkout built with PayPal
PrestaShop Checkout built with PayPal is PrestaShop's own all-in-one payment module. It lets you accept cards, PayPal and other popular methods from a single module, and it centralises transactions so refunds and bank reconciliations are easier to manage.
Thanks to its Express Checkout option, you can also add a quick payment button on product pages or in the cart, which shortens the path to purchase on mobile. Fees are charged per transaction and vary by country.
3. PayPal Official
The PayPal Official module is the classic way to add PayPal to your store. It offers a safe, fast payment method that customers already know and trust, and it works well on mobile devices. If you already use PrestaShop Checkout, you usually don't need both.
4. Stripe Official (SCA-ready)
The Stripe Official module brings Stripe's payment form to your checkout. Install the module, create a Stripe account or connect your existing one, and you can start accepting payments.
According to Stripe's documentation, it supports cards in 135 currencies, wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, and more than 25 payment methods, including regional options like SEPA Direct Debit, iDEAL or Bancontact. There is no monthly fee; Stripe charges per successful payment.
5. Cash on delivery (COD)
The Cash on delivery module lets customers pay when their parcel arrives. It is a big plus in markets where many shoppers don't have a card or prefer not to pay online, and it can lift conversion for first-time buyers who don't know your brand yet.
Keep in mind that cash on delivery also carries more refused parcels, so it pays to track how often COD orders come back.
6. Google Analytics
PrestaShop's official Google Analytics module connects your store to Google Analytics 4 and sends eCommerce events such as product views, carts and purchases. With this data you can see which campaign or channel generated each sale, and whether a sale came from paid marketing or from organic traffic, so you can put your budget where it works.
7. Glotio: translate your PrestaShop store
Glotio translates your PrestaShop store into more than 50 languages. It is built specifically for PrestaShop and translates products, categories, attributes, features and pages automatically, without exporting or importing text files, then keeps translations up to date as your catalog changes.

8. Official GDPR Compliance
The Official GDPR Compliance module helps your store meet the EU General Data Protection Regulation. It adds consent checkboxes to your forms and gives customers a way to access, export or delete their personal data or withdraw their consent.
It also keeps a log of these requests, which is useful if you ever need to prove how your store handles personal data.
PrestaShop modules for marketing, social media and sales
These modules help you reach new customers, connect your store with social networks and sell more to the customers you already have.
9. PrestaShop Social with Facebook & Instagram
PrestaShop Social, which replaced the old PrestaShop Facebook module, syncs your catalog with Facebook and Instagram so you can sell and advertise on both networks. You can create ads from your products, tag them in posts and get new metrics on how social shoppers behave.
:format(webp)/ckzmczajo000079a5653u2kfh.jpg)
According to the PrestaShop help center, it costs €9.99 a month excluding VAT.
10. PrestaShop Marketing with Google
PrestaShop Marketing with Google connects your store to Google Merchant Center and Google Ads. It syncs your product feed automatically, so your products can appear in Google Shopping, and lets you launch and follow campaigns from your back office. You only pay for your Google Ads budget.
11. Klaviyo
The Klaviyo module brings your customer and order data into Klaviyo so you can personalise email and SMS marketing. You can segment customers by what they bought, trigger automated flows such as welcome series or abandoned cart reminders, and send content that builds a closer relationship with your store. The module itself costs nothing; you pay for your Klaviyo plan.
12. Mailchimp for PrestaShop
The Mailchimp module syncs your customers, products and orders with Mailchimp to create email marketing campaigns and automate them. Among other things, you can:
- View campaign reports to check engagement and return on investment
- Sync and segment your lists to target customers by products bought or amount spent
- Send abandoned cart emails and product recommendations
- Use pre-built automations to bring customers back and build loyalty
- Design and send personalised transactional messages
13. Social media share buttons
The Social media share buttons module adds share buttons to your product pages. When customers can share a product with one click, your catalog gets free visibility on social networks and word of mouth does part of your marketing.
14. Social media follow links
The Social media follow links module shows links to your social accounts in your store, making it easier for customers to find and follow you. It is a simple way to build a sense of community around your brand and keep in touch with buyers after their first order.
15. Buy Button Lite
The Buy Button Lite module creates direct links that take customers straight to a product or to checkout. You can share them in posts, emails or messages, removing steps between interest and purchase.
16. Cross-selling
The Cross-selling module shows products related to the one a customer is viewing or has added to the cart. It helps customers discover more of your catalog and is one of the simplest ways to increase your average order value.
PrestaShop modules for design, product pages and customer experience
These modules improve how your store looks, how customers find products and how much they trust what they see before buying.
17. Brand list
The Brand list module displays the brands in your catalog and lets customers filter products by the brands they prefer. It is especially useful for multi-brand stores, where many shoppers arrive looking for a specific label.

18. Specials block
The Specials block module adds a block to your homepage with your current offers, so price-sensitive customers find them immediately. It also creates a page that lists every product on sale.
19. Theme Customization
The Theme Customization module gives you quick access to the main front-office modules and settings from one place, so you can adjust your homepage and theme without digging through menus.
A clearer, more consistent storefront makes navigation easier, keeps visitors on your store longer and strengthens your brand image.
20. Zakeke AI Product Customizer
The Zakeke module lets customers personalise products and preview them before buying. It works with many kinds of items, from clothing and shoes to stationery, jewellery and watches, and helps you sell made-to-order products without a manual design process.
21. Verified Reviews
The Verified Reviews module collects reviews from real buyers and displays ratings on your product pages. Verified reviews build trust with new visitors and can also show star ratings in Google results and ads.
:format(webp)/ckzmd1789000479a512xh3kek.jpg)
22. Product Comments
The Product Comments module is PrestaShop's native option for letting customers review and rate your products against specific criteria. It is a simple starting point if you don't need an external review service yet.
23. Trusted Shops
The Trusted Shops integration adds the Trustbadge, buyer protection and automatic review invitations to your store, for both shop and product reviews. Showing a recognised trust seal reassures visitors who don't know your brand yet. It requires a Trusted Shops membership.
Replace several PrestaShop shipping modules with one Outvio integration
Most PrestaShop stores end up with one module per carrier, another for tracking emails, another for returns and a separate help desk. Each one has its own settings, updates and fees, and none of them talk to each other. That is where errors, slow fulfilment and “where is my order?” emails come from.
Outvio replaces that whole stack with a single PrestaShop integration. Your orders sync in real time, and 90+ couriers work under the same shipping rules, so the right carrier is chosen automatically and labels are printed in bulk instead of one by one in each carrier's portal.
After dispatch, customers follow their parcel on a branded tracking page with notifications in their language. When something needs to go back, they use a self-service portal that offers exchanges or store credit before a refund, following your rules. And the questions that still arrive land in a help desk with unlimited agents and the full order history next to each ticket.
One integration to maintain instead of five, one place for your team to work, and a post-purchase experience your customers will want to come back to. Book a demo to see Outvio running on your PrestaShop store.
