PrestaShop to Shopify
Migration
Move off a self-hosted module-maze and onto a platform where your team ships features instead of fixing plugins.
The four reasons we hear every week.
Module compatibility chaos
PrestaShop runs on modules — and they break on every core upgrade. Most serious PrestaShop stores are stuck 1–2 versions behind because upgrading means testing 30 modules. Shopify's native functionality covers most of what those modules do, out of the box.
Self-hosting burden
You own the server, the LAMP stack, the patches, the backups, the PCI audit. PrestaShop is a full-time platform engineer's job. Shopify makes that entire role disappear.
Smaller global ecosystem
PrestaShop is strong in Europe but thin elsewhere. Third-party services, payment gateways, and fulfillment partners often treat it as second-tier. Shopify has native integrations with every major player in every major market.
Lagging frontend performance
PrestaShop themes are template-driven and hard to optimize for Core Web Vitals. Even the paid premium themes rarely pass. Headless Shopify on Next.js is a different category of fast.
Nothing gets left behind.
A real migration is more than products and orders. We preserve the long tail — redirects, meta tags, customer data, historical orders — so your team wakes up on launch day to a faster store, not a broken one.
Every PrestaShop object is mapped to its Shopify equivalent during the audit phase. You sign off on the mapping before we touch production.
- Products, variants, SKUs and inventory levels
- Product images, alt tags, descriptions and metafields
- Collections, categories and navigation structure
- Customers, order history and saved addresses
- Historical orders with line items and fulfilment status
- Discounts, gift cards and loyalty balances
- SEO: URL redirects (301s), meta tags and structured data
- Blog posts, pages and static content
The practical differences.
How a PrestaShop to Shopify migration actually runs.
Data audit
We inventory every entity in your current store — products, customers, orders, URLs — and map them 1:1 to Shopify objects. You get a complete migration blueprint before any work starts.
Staged import
We import everything into a Shopify development store. No production impact. You validate the data, we fix gaps, we sign off together.
Headless build
While the data migration runs, we build your new Next.js storefront connected via the Shopify Storefront API. Design, components, performance — all production-grade.
SEO cutover
301 redirects from every old URL to the new one. XML sitemap, schema markup, canonicals. Search rankings stay intact.
Zero-downtime launch
DNS change at a low-traffic window. Your old store stays online until the new one is live and verified. If anything goes wrong, rollback is a DNS flip.
30-day support
We stay on-call for the first month. Bugs, tweaks, analytics questions — covered.
