PrestaShop to Shopify Migration Services for ID-Based URLs, Combinations and Modules
PrestaShop to Shopify migration services have to deal with things other platforms never ask: language prefixes and ID numbers in every URL, product combinations, a pile of PHP modules and tax settings stored net. We map each of them, rehearse on a development store and switch your domain in a planned window. Fixed packages from $890, from a team with 450+ Shopify launches since 2015. Price your move in the calculator below.
- Combinations, features, packs and customization fields mapped into Shopify
- Language-prefixed, ID-based URLs redirected one by one before cutover
- Every PHP module reviewed and replaced by an app, a setting or nothing
- Fixed price, a rehearsed import and a switch that leaves your old shop intact

Over 450 Shopify Stores Launched Since 2015. Let Us Move Yours Without the Drama.
Leaving PrestaShop usually means leaving years of modules, overrides and quiet workarounds behind, and it pays to know what each one did. A decade of Shopify-only work and a 4.9+ average from verified clients is why owners trust us with the handover.

Who Our PrestaShop to Shopify Migration Services Are For
Merchants who migrate from PrestaShop to Shopify rarely do it on a whim. These six situations account for most of the stores we take in.
Owners tired of patching and upgrading
Every security fix, version jump and module update lands on your desk or your developer's. A hosted Shopify store takes the servers, updates and PCI burden off your plate.
Shops buried under conflicting modules
Modules overlap, hooks collide and an override breaks after one update. We list what each module does and replace the useful ones with maintained apps or native Shopify features.
European brands with several languages
Language-prefixed URLs and translated product fields need a plan. We set up Markets and translations so each language keeps its own address and search presence.
Stores slowing down with a growing catalog
Database load and heavy themes make pages drag as products multiply. A fresh Shopify theme with sensible image handling usually gives shoppers faster pages.
Companies without an in-house PHP developer
The agency that built your Smarty theme has moved on. Shopify's theme editor lets your own team update layouts, banners and menus without writing code.
Teams adding up hidden hosting and licence costs
Server bills, security work and annual module licences blur into one number. A predictable plan and app subscriptions make your running costs easier to forecast.
PrestaShop to Shopify Migration Without Losing SEO
Most ranking losses after a move come from five or six predictable mistakes. Here is what trips owners up with PrestaShop in particular, and how we avoid each.
ID numbers and language prefixes break naive redirects.
Outcome: A PrestaShop address such as /en/home/12-blue-widget.html carries a language, a category path and a numeric ID. We crawl the shop and the database, then pair each variant of every URL with one Shopify page.
Combinations outgrow Shopify's variant structure.
Outcome: PrestaShop lets a product carry many attributes, while Shopify allows three options. We decide per product whether to merge, split or restructure it, so no combination disappears quietly.
Specific prices and cart rules lose their logic.
Outcome: Catalog price rules, specific prices and voucher rules do not import. We write down each rule, rebuild it as a Shopify discount or price list and test a sample basket.
Net prices are mistaken for final prices.
Outcome: PrestaShop keeps base prices without tax and adds tax on display, so raw exports look lower than what customers pay. We set the tax mode first and compare imported prices with the live shop.
Module features vanish without anyone noticing.
Outcome: A module may have been quietly adding a trust badge, a size chart or a stock alert. We audit each module and decide whether to replace it, rebuild it or retire it on purpose.
Customers and subscribers fall through the cracks.
Outcome: Customer data, guest orders and newsletter consent live in different tables. We combine them, keep consent flags and plan the welcome email so shoppers can reactivate accounts.
What a PrestaShop to Shopify Migration Expert Handles
Behind a simple-sounding project sit data, design, search and integrations. These six capabilities show where the effort goes, and why one team can cover them at a fixed fee.
Catalog extraction from PrestaShop
We export products from the back office and database, including combinations, features, manufacturers, attachments and images, then map them to Shopify variants, metafields, vendors and files before anything is imported.
A prestashop to Shopify migration expert for URLs
Every product, category, manufacturer, CMS page and blog address from the crawl is paired with a Shopify destination. Language variants are separated, duplicates are collapsed and the final file is tested in a single hop.
Customer data with Store Manager or SQL
Because the native customer export is thin, we use the Store Manager for PrestaShop tool or a direct query to pull accounts, addresses, groups and consent, then deduplicate before import.
Languages, currencies and regions
Primary-language content is imported first, then additional languages are added through Shopify Markets and translation tools, so each region shows its own text, price format and address.
Smarty to Online Store 2.0
Smarty templates do not translate to Liquid, so we rebuild the look using sections and blocks. Menus, mega-menus, banners and the footer are matched to your brand and editable by your team.
Packs, downloads and customization fields
Product packs, virtual downloads and text or file customization fields are rebuilt with a bundles app, digital delivery or line item properties, then tested in the cart and at checkout.
What Your PrestaShop to Shopify Move Includes
The job breaks into six groups of deliverables. Packages cover more of each group as they rise, and the comparison table below lines every item up for you.

Catalog and attributes

Modules, carriers and settings

- Languages and markets in Multilingual Move
Testing and cutover
- Test orders with each payment method
- Phone, tablet and browser checks plus a speed pass
- Rehearsed domain switch with the old shop left intact
- Recorded walkthrough and two revision rounds
Every group closes with a written checkpoint, so you can see which part of the shop has moved, been tested and been approved.
Cutover Day for a PrestaShop Store, Checked and Switched On
Every item on this checklist has to pass before the domain moves. Watch the checks tick off one by one, the ring fill, the store flip from draft to live and the first order arrive, all while the old shop stays safe in reserve.

FurnitureHow We Migrate PrestaShop to Shopify, Step by Step
If you are wondering how to migrate PrestaShop to Shopify, the sequence is what keeps you safe. We run six stages with written approval between them, and the calculator shows how catalog size, combinations and languages stretch the timeline.

- 01
Crawl and inventory
We crawl the shop, export the catalog and list every module, carrier and language. You receive a written scope showing what moves, what is rebuilt and what is retired.
- 02
Map and rehearse
Combinations, features and customer groups are mapped, then a complete trial import runs on a development store so surprises show up before launch.
- 03
Rebuild the front end
Your Smarty layout is redrawn as a Shopify theme in your brand, with preview links so you can review every page on your own devices.
- 04
Pair every old URL
Each address variant, with or without language prefix and ID, receives its closest Shopify page, tested in one hop and kept ready for the switch.
- 05
Place test orders
We buy through every payment method, test vouchers, carriers and tax, and compare product, customer and order counts with the source.
- 06
Switch and watch
We sync the final orders, move the domain, import redirects and crawl the live store, then follow Search Console for early signs of trouble.
App, Gig, Freelancer or Agency for a PrestaShop Move?
Owners usually weigh four routes before leaving PrestaShop. This table compares them on the factors that decide whether the new store keeps its customers, its traffic and its prices.

| What matters | Migration app | Low-cost gig | Freelancer | Store Design Expert |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Redirects for ID and language URLs | Add-on | Rarely | Varies | Yes |
| Combinations turned into variants | Partly | Rarely | Sometimes | Yes |
| Customer export beyond the basics | Partly | No | Sometimes | Yes |
| Module audit with replacements | No | No | Sometimes | Yes |
| Cart rules and specific prices rebuilt | No | No | Rarely | Yes |
| Practice run on a dev store | You do it | Rarely | Varies | Yes |
| Order tests plus tag verification | No | Rarely | Sometimes | Yes |
| Old shop kept as fallback | Your risk | Varies | Varies | Yes |
What Keeps Your Shop Safe While It Moves
A shop that is taking orders cannot be paused for a rewrite. These protections come with every package and explain why a fixed fee from us beats a risky weekend with an import tool.
Trial run before the real run
We import everything into a development store first, so duplicate rows, broken images and variant overflows appear in a safe place and are fixed before launch.
Your PrestaShop shop is left alone
We read from the old shop and never change it. If anything misbehaves at cutover, your original store is still there and can keep trading.
Redirects are checked, not trusted
We request sample addresses of every type, in every language, and confirm each lands in one hop. After the switch we crawl the full list again.
Access stays in your hands
Collaborator access ends whenever you decide, and we never ask for the owner password or hosting credentials beyond what the export needs.
A checklist that defines finished
Counts, prices, tax, languages, test orders, tracking and devices are verified and shown to you before we request approval to go live.
Notes you can keep using
A recorded tour and written guide explain the theme, the redirect list, the app replacements and how to add products or edit sections.

Why Owners Pick Our PrestaShop to Shopify Migration Agency
You get a structured agency process with the directness of a small team. These are the reasons verified clients mention most.

Shopify is our only platform
Since 2015 we have launched 450+ Shopify stores, so we know where imported PrestaShop data needs extra attention.
Data and design under one roof
The people mapping your catalog also rebuild the theme, so handover gaps between code and layout never open.
Rated 4.9+ by verified clients
Every score is posted by a merchant we worked for, so you can read their stories before deciding.
A price you can plan around
Prices and day counts appear beside every tier, option and extra, with a half-up-front deposit once a project passes $2,500.
You talk to the builders
Questions about a combination, a carrier or a redirect go straight to the person doing the work and are answered quickly.
The store is yours at the end
Everything lives in your Shopify account, and anything built in our Partner account is transferred to you once the work is complete.
What We Need to Begin Your Migration
Admin access to the old shop, a note of what must not break and one person who approves decisions are enough to start. Choose the Shopify access route you prefer.
Approve our collaborator request
Already on Shopify? Send us the store address and accept our request. You remain the owner, nothing is shared by password and you can remove our access whenever you like.
Let us build in our Partner account
If you have not opened a store, we create it under our Partner login, give it to you at the end and let you pick a plan last.
Or send a staff login
A staff account is a possible alternative. We lean towards collaborator access because it is easy to revoke, but a staff login lets us start the audit straight away.
PrestaShop admin or database access
Provide a back-office user and, where possible, a database export or read-only credentials, so customers, combinations and orders can be extracted completely.
Your module and carrier list
Tell us which modules, payment methods and carriers matter to you, so each is replaced or retired deliberately instead of forgotten.
Languages, deadlines and approver
List your languages and regions, sale dates to avoid, how long orders can pause on switch day and who signs off each stage.
Your owner password and card details stay with you. Builds and tests run on a development store, and the PrestaShop shop is left untouched until you give the go-ahead.

PrestaShop to Shopify Migration FAQs
Direct answers on price, time, SEO, what moves and what does not, and how the switch happens.
How much do PrestaShop to Shopify migration services cost with you?
Packages start at $890 for Data Transfer, $1,690 for Store Rebuild and $2,490 for Multilingual Launch. Catalog size, combinations, languages and extras are added in the calculator, so most projects land between $900 and $4,500. You see the fixed total before paying.
What is the PrestaShop to Shopify migration cost compared with an app?
A migration tool runs from about $59 to $999, but redirects, combinations, theme and testing remain your job. Agency proposals for PrestaShop exits regularly begin at $15,000. Our fixed packages price the full project well below that, checks included.
How long does a PrestaShop to Shopify move take?
Data Transfer takes 5 to 9 working days, Store Rebuild 10 to 18 and Multilingual Launch 18 to 30, before options. More products, trickier combinations and extra languages add days that the calculator shows. Pick a faster schedule if you have a fixed date.
How to migrate PrestaShop to Shopify without closing my shop?
Keep the old shop trading while we crawl it, rehearse the import and build the new theme. At cutover we sync recent orders, move the domain, import redirects and crawl the result. Customers keep buying throughout, with only a brief agreed freeze on orders.
Will I lose SEO if I migrate from PrestaShop to Shopify?
Not if redirects are handled carefully, though a short dip while search engines recrawl is common. We map ID-based, language-prefixed and category-path variants of each URL, carry over titles and descriptions, and verify one-hop redirects. Rankings cannot be guaranteed by anyone, yet a tested redirect list stops the avoidable drops.
What does not transfer when I migrate prestashop to Shopify?
Passwords, your Smarty theme, PHP modules, payment gateway settings, cart rules and carrier setups do not move automatically. We rebuild or replace each on purpose, and the scope document lists them individually so launch day holds no surprises.
What are the main differences in PrestaShop vs Shopify?
PrestaShop is self-hosted, so you run servers, patches and modules, while Shopify is hosted and handles that for you. Shopify caps options at three per product and relies on apps instead of modules. Which is right depends on your team, catalog and languages.
Where does Store Manager for PrestaShop fit in?
Native customer export is limited, so we often use Store Manager for PrestaShop or a direct database query to pull accounts, addresses, groups and consent flags. We then clean and deduplicate before the import, so customers arrive on Shopify in a tidy state.
Is a store migration app Shopify merchants use enough for PrestaShop?
A store migration app Shopify merchants use, such as Cart2Cart or LitExtension, moves the standard data. It does not write your redirect file, rebuild the theme, replace modules or recreate cart rules. We combine tools with mapping, rebuild and testing.
Can you help with SEO optimization for PrestaShop stores before the move?
Yes. We can review the SEO optimization for PrestaShop stores you already have, such as meta titles, canonical settings and duplicate paths, so the best-ranking content is preserved and the weak spots are fixed during migration rather than copied across.
Is there a PrestaShop to Shopify migration checklist I can use?
Yes, ours covers the catalog export, URL crawl, field mapping, trial import, module audit, theme rebuild, carrier and tax setup, test orders, redirect import and post-launch crawl. You receive the signed-off checklist at handover, with each line marked.
Do I need to choose a PrestaShop consultant near you for this?
No. The whole project is remote, with preview links and written feedback, so location does not affect quality. You get the same audit, rehearsal, testing and handover wherever you are, and you speak directly to the people doing the work.
Do you have a PrestaShop to Shopify migration guide for doing it myself?
A small shop with simple attributes can follow the standard route: export, map, import, redirect, test and switch. Redirects, combinations and the theme are where DIY projects stall, so many owners hand those parts over to a specialist.
What do I need before ordering?
Order a package, send back-office access, add us as collaborators or let us build in our Partner account, then list your modules, languages and carriers and name an approver. We return a written audit and scope for approval before any import begins.
