Decide how many items should be shown per page and what characteristics are displayed. Choose when to display out-of-stock or when to display attributes such as size or colour. - Cross Sell
Why not copy the e-commerce 'bigboys' with cross selling features? Displaying items that are related to each other is a great and easy way to increase sales. - Sell virtual / downloadable products
If you have virtual products such as music or video downloads, PrestaShop provides the ability to purchase these and either download them straight from the site or via an e-mail link once the payment has been made. - Unlimited categories, products and attributes.
PrestaShop has no restrictions when it comes to listing your products. Whether you have 10 products or 10,000 your Prestashop install can support it. With attributes you can ask the user to select various options such as which size t-shirt they would like or the weight of coffee that they require. - Product Comparison
Small differences in products can make deciding which item to purchase difficult. With product comparison the user can compare products, options and features side by side.
