> [@anon34432631](#): > > But PrestaShop’s article said they do. They do what? Support InfinityFree? Because they don’t. Prestashop supports MySQL. We provide MySQL. But Prestashop also requires specific MySQL addons which we don’t offer, which is why it doesn’t work. > [@anon34432631](#): > > Anyways if not, do you know any free software like PrestaShop?
