December 14, 2011

PrestaShop, a maker of open-source software to create and manage e-commerce websites, recently released v1.4.6 of its open-source e-commerce solution. Compliant with all Canadian e-commerce requirements, the solution has enhanced tax features along with the 275 that equipped in the PrestaShop download.


The new tax features are streamlined with the government's requirements and ensure more benefits for PrestaShop users. Merchants can now ship their orders via the most used postal service in Canada. Moreover, the installation process of a PrestaShop store has been enriched with numerous localization data, allowing, among others, the automatic configuration of taxes for each province throughout Canada.

"A combination of suggestions and contributions from the Canadian community has led us to these key developments. Listening to merchant's needs has allowed us to identify critical elements to include in our shopping cart," explains Sabrina Marechal, Manager of Canadian Operations at PrestaShop, Inc. "With all these great improvements we have developed add-ons like Moneris and Beanstream for payment and Purolator for shipping, offered in the PrestaShop Addons store," Marechal concludes.

"Our aim is to develop the PrestaShop network within Canada and satisfy all e-commerce users. With these efforts, we give constant attention to merchants and have a close collaboration with web agencies and independent developers. PrestaShop is already used by thousands of e-commerce sites in Canada and we are delighted to have this great community of users!" explains Bruno Leveque, CEO and co-founder of PrestaShop, Inc.
