Magento is open-source software (like Prestashop and WordPress), free to download, aimed primarily at medium and large businesses. It is the benchmark platform for managing very large catalogs. Magento makes it possible to create ultra-personalized eCommerce sites and presents a rather bluffing functional richness. The flip side of this functional richness is that Magento is probably the most complex, the "heaviest" eCommerce CMS to use. It is clearly not for beginners. Setting up and customizing a Magento site requires some programming skills, unlike turnkey solutions like Wix or Shopify.
