Getting Started ​

Welcome to Binshops | Best In Shops documentation.

Binshops provides open-source-focused eCommerce solutions for businesses, developers, and store owners who want to build, extend, and customize their online stores.

We have been working in the eCommerce industry for more than 10 years, primarily around PrestaShop and the technologies that can be built around it.

Our goal is simple: give businesses and developers powerful tools while keeping the underlying technology as open and accessible as possible.

The Binshops | Best In Shops approach ​

We believe an eCommerce business should have control over the technology it depends on.

That's why our solutions are built around open-source technologies and, in particular, the PrestaShop ecosystem.

Instead of locking an eCommerce business into a closed platform, you can build on an open foundation and extend it as your requirements grow.

This can mean using PrestaShop directly, connecting it to a custom frontend, building a native mobile application, or integrating it with other services and applications.

You can also explore our open-source projects and development work on GitHub.

Binshops | Best In Shops solutions ​

The documentation brings together the main Binshops products and services in one place.

Each section below covers a different part of the Binshops ecosystem.

E-Commerce REST API for PrestaShop ​

Connect your PrestaShop store to external applications, custom frontends, mobile applications, and other services through a REST API.

The API provides access to your store's eCommerce functionality and makes it possible to build applications on top of PrestaShop.

Next.js Solution ​

Build a modern, high-performance storefront using Next.js while keeping PrestaShop as your eCommerce backend.

This approach allows you to separate the customer-facing frontend from the eCommerce platform and gives developers greater freedom to build and customize the shopping experience.

Mobile App ​

Create a native mobile application for your eCommerce store without building a mobile application from scratch.

The Binshops Mobile App solution includes a visual home builder and is designed to get your native application ready quickly.

The app builder can generate a native application in approximately 5 minutes, making it a practical option for stores that want a mobile presence without developing an entire mobile application themselves.
