What should a French or EU merchant on PrestaShop take from this?

The data shows that PrestaShop's detected base among sites with visitors in France shrank from 18,111 origins in January 2024 to 12,379 in September 2026 while Shopify's grew, but not why the counts changed or whether a move suits one store. Weigh migration on costs, features and the team that runs the store, with these counts as context.

What do the France numbers measure?

The France counts are mobile origins detected with each platform among sites with visitors in France in the Chrome UX Report, from HTTP Archive's Tech Report crawls of January 2020 to September 2026. The country is the visitors' country, not the merchant's, and counts are not counts of stores.
