Benefits of PrestaShop Store Migration
More time for business priorities
Migration allows your team to focus on growth, marketing, and operations instead of managing technical tasks. Ongoing maintenance, performance improvements, and issue resolution are handled for you. This helps reduce internal workload and frees up resources for strategic work.
Stable performance during high-traffic periods
The updated PrestaShop version provides a more reliable foundation. Campaigns, promotions, and seasonal traffic can run without unexpected downtime or performance issues. Tracking and checkout processes continue to function correctly during critical sales periods.
Improved speed and user experience
A faster website has improved overall usability, especially on mobile. This contributes to higher conversion rates, better SEO rankings, and smoother navigation. The PrestaShop migration process includes performance upgrades for your online shop.
Support for complex integrations and custom setups
Custom modules, third-party integrations, and advanced configurations are fully supported. The migration includes clean architecture, version control, and a staging environment for safe testing. Your ecommerce website remains scalable and manageable as your requirements grow.
Technical solutions with business impact in mind
Every migration step considers performance, scalability, and how changes affect business results. You work with a team that understands both the technical and commercial sides of ecommerce. This leads to better long-term decisions for your store.
Reliable delivery with minimal oversight
Projects are handled independently and efficiently, with clear communication and quick problem resolution. This creates a smoother working relationship and reduces day-to-day friction.

Additional Services to Build and Improve Your Store
We help set up a complete PrestaShop store from scratch if you want to go beyond a simple data transfer. You can keep your current design, have us recreate it, or start fresh with a new theme. We also help you pick a ready-made template and adjust it to fit your brand.
If you want to use special features, we can help you choose the right modules or build custom ones during the migration process. After migration, we provide technical support, run SEO audits, and help fine-tune your store so it performs well and is ready for traffic.
Additional Options of PrestaShop Migration Services
Migrate Recent Changes
If you keep getting new orders or adding products during the migration, we sync that new data so nothing is lost.
Clean Up the Target Store
Need a fresh start? We clear the existing data on your new PrestaShop store before starting the transfer.
Move Images from Descriptions
We also transfer images that appear in product, category, and page descriptions. This includes more than just the main product images.
Keep Your SEO URLs
We carry over your existing URLs and set up redirects, so you don’t lose search traffic after switching to the new store.
Preserve All IDs
We keep the same product, order, category, and customer IDs to avoid breaking connections with other systems or reports.
Keep Customer Passwords
Your customers log in as usual after migration. No need for password resets or support tickets.
Migrate Custom Fields
If your shop uses custom fields, we move that data as well to make sure nothing important is left out.
Support for Third-Party Modules
We also move data from certain third-party modules, depending on compatibility with your new PrestaShop setup.
Migrate Invoices and Shipping Info
Invoices, credit memos, shipments, and carrier data can all be included, so your order history stays complete.
Smart Data Sync
If anything changes after the first migration such as new customers or updated products, we sync those updates too before going live.

How Your Data Is Secured During Migration Process
Server Security
Our servers are set up with the latest security measures. They’re protected by firewalls, updated regularly, and closely monitored to prevent issues. This means your data stays secure while we handle the migration.
Data Security
All sensitive information, like customer and payment information, is encrypted during transfer. This keeps everything private and safe as we move your data from one system to another. We also perform regular checks to make sure everything stays secure.
Data Access Restriction
Only the right people have access to your data. We set strict rules about who can see and handle your information, so only trusted team members are involved in the migration.
GDPR Compliance
If you’re based in the EU, we adhere to GDPR guidelines to protect your customers’ privacy. We ensure that any personal data is managed in accordance with legal requirements, and your business remains compliant.
NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)
We’ll sign an NDA with you. This legally binds us to keep everything you share with us confidential so you can be sure your information is safe.
Payment Security
We follow industry standards to protect payment data. Our team controls payment gateways and financial transactions to stay secure and that no payment information is exposed during the migration process.
Limits on Custom Modules and Systems
Depending on how they’re set up, some custom features or third-party integrations might not work perfectly after PrestaShop migration. We’ll take a close look at these elements before the migration and let you know if any adjustments are needed.

Pre-Migration Configuration
We configured your new PrestaShop store, including settings such as languages, taxes, currencies, and other essential options, so it is prepared to receive the data.

FAQs for PrestaShop Migration Services
How do I migrate my PrestaShop website?
To migrate data from your PrestaShop website, back up your current site, set up the new environment, and transfer all data, themes, and settings. This ensures that your products, orders, and customer information remain intact. It is advisable to use expert services for a seamless and secure process. We manage the entire migration for you with zero downtime or data loss.
Will the migration affect my existing store?
No, the migration will not affect your existing website. We work on a separate copy of your PrestaShop site to ensure everything runs smoothly before going live. Your current store remains online and fully functional throughout the process.
How long does the PrestaShop migration take?
The PrestaShop data migration usually takes 2-14 days, depending on the size and complexity of your store. Smaller shops may be completed more quickly, while larger stores with custom features may take longer. We will provide you with a clear timeline before we start and keep you updated throughout the process.
Do I risk losing data from my existing modified eсommerce store after the migration?
No, you won't lose data if the PrestaShop migration is done correctly. We carefully transfer all your store data, including custom modifications, products, orders, and customer information. Before going live, we thoroughly test the migrated store to ensure everything matches. Your original store remains untouched during the process as a backup.
