PrestaShop has since its beginnings prided itself on being an easy-to-use e-commerce solution, enabling anyone to quickly start an online activity with the best tools ready at hand. This documentation should help you get the most out of PrestaShop, but there are more resources which you can peruse of find additional help.
The official online home of PrestaShop is at: http://www.prestashop.com/
This is the central place where all information about PrestaShop can be found.
All the tabs in the administration interface of PrestaShop have a "Help" link, which takes you to the online version of the core documentation. Clicking the "Help" link will open a pop-up window containing documentation for the current page.
If the documentation has been recently updated, then the button will display a little star.
