PrestaShop store development and support

PrestaShop works well for e-commerce stores with large catalogs, multiple product variants, and distinct pricing structures for different client groups. As an open platform, it keeps data and features under your direct control without monthly platform subscription fees.

It also handles multi-language and multi-currency stores, as well as multi-store operations managed from a single admin panel. However, if you need a content-heavy website with a smaller online shop, WooCommerce is often a lighter alternative.

If your store runs slowly, shows system errors, or your previous developer is unavailable, we conduct a technical audit and assume maintenance responsibilities. Every project starts with a full system backup and access check.

We evaluate installed modules, custom code modifications, and overall system stability. After the initial review, we prepare a clear task list prioritized to resolve critical issues and improve loading speeds.

Many stores still run on PrestaShop 1.6 or 1.7. These versions rely on obsolete PHP releases that no longer receive security updates, creating risks at the server level. A timely PrestaShop upgrade is essential for system stability and store security.

We do not perform updates directly on a live site. First, we duplicate the store on a staging server to test theme and module compatibility with PrestaShop 8 or 9. If a module fails, we adapt the code or find a suitable alternative. Upgrading from 1.6 requires more work than from 1.7 due to differences in the theme architecture.

Customers expect simple checkout and payment options. Omniva and DPD offer PrestaShop modules, and several payment providers have their own modules. We verify compatibility for your specific PrestaShop version before updating, or build custom integrations via provider APIs if needed.

When a required feature lacks a suitable commercial add-on, we develop custom PrestaShop modules. We follow official development standards without modifying core files, ensuring future updates remain straightforward.

In some cases, maintaining an outdated PrestaShop build or performing a complex upgrade requires significant resources. Rebuilding on a platform like WooCommerce or Shopify may be a more practical path forward.

We assist with complete data migration: moving products, categories, customer records, and order histories where possible, alongside proper URL redirect mapping to protect existing search engine rankings.
