Migration from PrestaShop

We move stores off PrestaShop and local SaaS platforms to a modern open-source stack: cleaned product data, preserved SEO and a cutover that never stops sales. The years of module patches stay behind, the catalog and customers come with you.

PrestaShop Migration

Legacy platforms age in the same three places

Whether it is PrestaShop, an old SaaS or a custom build from 2015, the decay pattern repeats: the module layer turns into an archaeology site nobody dares to update, the product data accumulates a decade of inconsistent attributes, and the checkout falls behind what customers expect. Patching each symptom separately is how stores burn years.

A migration resets all three at once, but only if the data cleanup happens during the move, not as a someday project. We normalise attributes, merge duplicates and rebuild categories as part of the import pipeline, so the new platform starts with a catalog that can actually power filters, search and feeds.

How we do it

01

Data and module audit

We inventory every customisation and map each to a platform feature, an integration, or the bin, if it earns nothing.

02

Clean import pipeline

Products, combinations, customers and orders migrate through a normalising pipeline, not a raw CSV dump.

03

SEO-safe switch

URL map, 301 redirects and metadata carried over; cutover with sales running.

When it makes sense

01

Module conflicts and upgrades block every change

02

The platform limits speed, checkout or integrations

03

You run on a local SaaS and want out of its ceiling

FAQ

Migration from PrestaShop

Our platform is end-of-life and unsupported. How urgent is this?

Unsupported platforms accumulate security debt and break silently with PHP or hosting upgrades. The honest answer: migrate before an incident forces you to do it in panic mode.

Can you keep our integrations with couriers and accounting?

Yes, integrations are mapped in the Blueprint and rebuilt against modern APIs, which usually makes them faster and less brittle than the old modules.

Our PrestaShop is heavily customised. Can you still migrate it?

Yes, the Blueprint maps each customisation to a platform feature or integration, so you keep the behaviour without carrying over the legacy code.

What about years of messy product data?

Cleanup happens during the migration: attributes normalised, duplicates merged, categories rebuilt. You launch with a catalog that finally filters and searches properly.

How long does it take?

Depends on catalog and integrations, the Blueprint gives a fixed date and price. Typical migrations land in 8–10 weeks.
