saldiaShop · Online shop from Switzerland
The PrestaShop alternative from Switzerland
PrestaShop is open source – powerful, but it means your own server, installation, updates and module upkeep. saldiaShop is the hosted Swiss all-in-one shop: hosting in Switzerland under revDSG, Swiss payments via saldiaPay and support in German. You build and run your shop without any coding – updates, security and backups happen in the background. So you focus on selling instead of maintenance.
Why saldiaShop instead of PrestaShop?
An online shop built for the Swiss market – hosted, maintained and supported from Switzerland, without your own server.
Maintenance-free instead of update work
PrestaShop requires regular core and module updates plus security patches. With saldiaShop, updates, security and backups happen in the background – you don't have to install or secure anything yourself.
Swiss payments included
TWINT, credit cards, PostFinance Pay and QR-bill run through saldiaPay – billed in CHF. Instead of finding, installing and maintaining a module for each payment method, everything is there from the start.
Over 50 apps – no module jungle
Extend your shop with shipping, accounting, marketing and ERP integrations like bexio from the saldia Marketplace. Vetted apps instead of self-assembled PrestaShop modules that can conflict with one another.
Multilingual for Switzerland
Sell in German, French and Italian – as the Swiss market demands. Languages, currency and taxes are geared to Switzerland from the start, with no extra configuration.
Easy migration from PrestaShop

Open-source effort or hosted from Switzerland?
PrestaShop is a strong open-source platform – but open source also means you're responsible for everything yourself. You find and pay for a server, install the software, keep the core and modules up to date, apply security patches and handle backups. When something goes wrong, you're on your own or you pay an agency.
saldiaShop turns that around: we're the hosted Swiss all-in-one shop. Hosting in Switzerland under revDSG is included, and updates, security and backups happen in the background. You build and run your shop without any coding – and focus on selling instead of maintenance.
- No server of your own, no installation, no configuration
- Updates, security and backups happen in the background
- Build and run it without any coding
- One point of contact instead of separate server, modules and agency
