Why brands leave PrestaShop
These are the friction points we hear most often from PrestaShop merchants — and exactly what moving to Shopify solves.
Module maintenance burden
Paid modules and overrides need constant updates to stay compatible and secure.
Hosting & performance
Self-managed servers struggle with traffic spikes and global performance.
Upgrade pain
Major PrestaShop version upgrades are notoriously risky and time-consuming.
PrestaShop-specific things we get right
Every platform has edge cases that trip up generalist agencies. Here's what we handle by default when migrating from PrestaShop.
Multi-language & currency
We rebuild international setups with Shopify Markets and translation apps.
Module functionality
Custom modules are mapped to native Shopify features or trusted apps.
Tax & invoicing rules
EU tax configurations and invoicing are recreated to stay compliant.

How your PrestaShop migration runs
The same proven four-phase process, tuned to PrestaShop's quirks.
- 01
Audit & data mapping
We inventory your store, map every data field, and surface risks before a single record moves.
- 02
Theme & design build
Your brand is rebuilt on a fast, conversion-focused Shopify theme — not a generic template.
- 03
Test migration
A full dry-run into a staging store lets you validate data integrity and catch edge cases early.
- 04
Go-live & redirects
We cut over with zero-downtime DNS, deploy SEO redirects, and monitor the store hour by hour.
Maintaining PrestaShop modules was a second job. Shopify took the infrastructure and compliance off our plate so we could focus on growth.
