- Shop migration to PrestaShop
PrestaShop is the most widely used e-commerce application in Spain and much of Europe. It is the preferred platform in France, Italy and Poland, among others.
It is a very long-lived application, with more than 15 years of life. It has been growing year after year to become the sector’s leader. This growth is due to its ease of use and its power, as it includes by default a considerable amount of functionalities to cover most of the needs of any online sales business.
In addition, it has a very large and active community of developers, who have developed thousands of additional modules and high quality design templates.
On top of that, it is the most search engine optimisable application, which makes it the preferred choice for many agencies to implement projects that want to achieve great results. Especially now with version 8, which is much faster than previous versions.
One of these reasons is probably what makes you decide to switch from your current e-commerce application or older version of PrestaShop to PrestaShop 8. IDX helps you with this complex process of migrating to PrestaShop, we have extensive experience in it, we have been doing migrations for over 15 years.
We can help you with the creation of the online shop, its design and optimisation and with the migration of all the data from your old shop. It doesn’t matter which system you use, it is likely that we have already worked with it before and if not, it doesn’t matter, we can handle it, we are experts in migrations. We help you in the migration process of your shop, without losing information in the process.
Why do you need a shop migration to PrestaShop?
Surely there are many reasons for you to decide to migrate your shop to PrestaShop. Here are just a few of them.
PrestaShop is an unlimited application, it can grow to infinity and beyond 😉
With PrestaShop you can focus on managing your business, with the peace of mind of having a very robust and secure application. Security is one of its strong points.
What do we offer you in the PrestaShop shop migration service?
Shop creation
As PrestaShop experts since 2007, we create a shop and give you access to see the progress of the work process. We configure everything you need inside the virtual shop and we test it. When we deliver it to you, all you have to do is open it and start marketing and selling.
Template design
You can select one of the templates we work with for us to customise, or you can opt for us to make a completely bespoke design for your shop, which will have a higher cost. We follow all your instructions so that the design is the way you need it to achieve your goals.
Additional modules
If your PrestaShop shop needs extra modules with special functionalities, we will need you to detail them and we will look for the right modules. We will send you links to demos so you can check if they are what you are looking for. If we don’t find any modules, we will offer you a custom development.
Data migration
When you approve the shop we have created, we will start the process of migrating information from your current shop. Part of the process will require your shop to remain in maintenance, we will try to keep the downtime as short as possible. We will migrate the catalogue (categories, products, brands, etc.), along with your customers and their respective addresses and to finalise the orders. No data will be lost.
Personalised training
We can help your employees learn how to use PrestaShop, so they can be productive immediately. You can hire a customised training. PrestaShop is intuitive, but learning it yourself can take a while if you don’t have the support of someone who knows how to use the platform very well. It will be trial and error many times, a bad option to be productive. We can take care of training your employees.
SEO Optimisation
Google doesn’t like major changes to websites, and a migration is one of those changes. It could alter the search results for your ranking. Once the shop is up and running, it is a good idea to carry out a complete SEO audit, to analyse if there are things to correct in terms of SEO and improvements to implement to increase the rankings or if Google has penalised the project.
The types of shop migration to PrestaShop that we can do are:
Migration to PrestaShop 8 from an older PrestaShop version
If you currently have a shop created with PrestaShop, but you are outdated on an old version, we can take care of moving it to the latest version available. We can migrate to PrestaShop 8 from any version. Older versions such as PrestaShop 1.7 or 1.6 are the most common nowadays and are the easiest, but we can also migrate shops from much older versions, although it may take a little longer because it can give some problems. But we make sure that you have all your data without losing anything. By migrating to PrestaShop 8, you will get a faster loading speed in your shop, by using PHP 8. Moreover, by using PHP 8, you will also have a more secure shop, as both PrestaShop 8 and PHP 8, have fixed some vulnerabilities detected in previous versions.
Migration to PrestaShop from standard or open source e-commerce application
If you are using a standard or open source online shop software for your shop, we will usually have no problem migrating your shop data to PrestaShop. We will migrate the entire catalogue (categories, products, attributes and features, brands, etc.), also the customers (including their addresses and probably their passwords) and to complete the job, the orders. Using various types of information migration tools, we will do the whole process, which can be different depending on the software you use in your shop. Each e-commerce application has its own complexity when it comes to migrating your data to PrestaShop. Extensions, modules or plugins, non-standard you use, can alter the data and complicate the work or make it impossible.
Migration from proprietary e-commerce applications
If you have a custom-built shop with a development framework or have contracted a proprietary closed source application, the migration may not be possible in its entirety or it may be more complicated. It may be more complex, but not impossible. We will have to study your specific case, so we will need information and access to your shop. We will have to see what information can be exported from your application. Generally, in these cases, it is normal to be able to migrate the catalogue and customers, but not the orders. To migrate orders, you would have to make quite complicated and expensive custom developments that would take quite a long time. Once we have all the information after our analysis of your platform, we will have a clear idea of the process we need to follow to do the job and we can prepare a customised proposal.
