How To Migrate My PrestaShop Store
PrestaShop migrations are ecommerce migrations. The file tree and database move matters, but the launch is only successful when products, combinations, images, customers, orders, modules, payment, tax, shipping, and back-office access all survive the move.
PrestaShop Migration Steps
- Detect the PrestaShop version and confirm PHP compatibility on the destination.
- Move the store files, image folders, downloadable product files if present, modules, theme, and database.
- Update database credentials, shop URL, SSL domain, cache settings, and file permissions.
- Test back office login, product pages, cart, checkout, order email, search, modules, and cron tasks.
Credit Estimate Notes
PrestaShop can be both file-heavy and database-heavy. Product image caches, order history, layered navigation indexes, abandoned cart modules, and old logs can increase the payload, so the estimate should score the store by detected app type instead of treating it like a simple brochure site.
