PrestaShop Migration & Upgrade Service
Upgrade to PrestaShop 9 or move from Magento, WooCommerce or Shopify — without losing data or SEO
Still Running an Old PrestaShop Version?
PrestaShop 1.6 reached end-of-life in 2019. Stores still running it are exposed to unpatched security vulnerabilities, incompatible payment modules, and hosting PHP requirements that are increasingly hard to meet.
But upgrading the wrong way can wipe out your customizations, break your theme, corrupt your product data, and tank your SEO rankings. I've completed 50+ migrations with a zero data-loss record and a zero-downtime process that keeps your store live throughout.
Migration Paths I Handle
Every migration path tested and refined across dozens of real stores
1.5 / 1.6 → 9.x
Full data migration with theme rebuild and module audit
1.7 → 8.x
The safe intermediate step when modules or theme aren't ready for 9 yet
1.7 → 9.x
Go straight to the latest — PHP 8.1+, Symfony 6.4, module and theme modernization
8.x → 9.x
Smoothest path to the latest version — mostly module, theme and PHP compatibility work
Moving to PrestaShop from Magento, WooCommerce or Shopify
Your products, customers, orders and search rankings move with you
Merchants usually move to PrestaShop to own their store outright: no per-app monthly subscriptions, no extra transaction fees, full access to the code, and strong built-in multi-language, multi-currency and EU tax support. The risk is in the move itself. Every platform structures products, variants, customers and URLs differently, and a migration that only copies data across loses rankings and breaks customer accounts.
Magento 1 & 2 → PrestaShop
For stores leaving Magento 1 (end-of-life since 2020) or the hosting cost and complexity of Magento 2.
- Configurable products mapped to PrestaShop combinations
- Attribute sets split into attributes and features
- Store views mapped to languages or multistore
- Customer groups and tier prices as specific prices
- Full order history with status mapping
- 301 redirects for .html URL keys and category paths
WooCommerce → PrestaShop
For stores that have outgrown WordPress plugins, or whose catalog and order volume slow WooCommerce down.
- Variable products mapped to combinations
- Global and custom attributes mapped correctly
- Customers, addresses and order history
- Product reviews and CMS pages
- Plugin features replaced with PrestaShop modules
- 301 redirects from /product/ and /product-category/ URLs
Shopify → PrestaShop
For merchants who want to stop paying for apps and transaction fees, and control their own code and hosting.
- Data pulled through the Shopify Admin API, not manual CSVs
- Variants and options mapped to combinations
- Collections and tags rebuilt as a category tree
- Customers, orders, metafields and product images
- App features replaced with modules (no monthly fees)
- 301 redirects from /products/ and /collections/ URLs
Other Platforms & Custom Systems
OpenCart, osCommerce, legacy custom shops or ERP exports. If the data can be exported, it can be migrated.
- Custom import scripts for any data format
- Products, categories, attributes and images
- Customer and order data where available
- Data cleaning and duplicate removal on the way
- Test imports checked with you before the final run
- Full URL redirect map from the old site
Customer Passwords
Other platforms store passwords differently, and Shopify doesn't export them at all. Customers either keep their password through a login bridge that accepts old hashes, or receive a clean account activation email. You choose before we start.
Rankings Kept
Every old product, category and page URL is mapped to its new address with a 301 redirect, and meta titles and descriptions move with the content.
Final Delta Sync
The old store keeps selling during the project. New orders and customers are synced in a final run just before switching the domain.
Verified, Not Assumed
Product counts, prices, stock, customer totals and order totals are compared between old and new store before go-live.
