How to breathe new life into your online store

Updating the PrestaShop engine is important and necessary. Without fresh modules, revising functionality and making changes to the code, the site's conversion rate will not rapidly increase. The closer you keep your finger on the pulse of modifications, the faster the site operates, and the easier it is to tailor it to the requirements and wishes of customers.

Update Challenges in PrestaShop

Why Standard Update Tools Might Not Always Work:

  • Version Differences

    For instance, upgrading from version 1.4 to 8.

  • Database Overload

    Automatic updates can fail, causing the site to crash. Recovery can be both time-consuming and costly.

  • “Pirated” Modules

    Improperly configured modules can break during an automatic update, disrupting site functionality.

  • Design Complications

    Variables from template themes might be missing in new versions, causing the template to malfunction or display incorrectly.

  • Code Customizations

    Significant custom code integrations can stop working in newer versions.

What You Should Know About Updates

  • For versions from 1.4 to 1.5, updates to 1.6 can be performed while preserving design and functionality.
  • For versions 1.4-1.6, updating to 8 requires migrating all data to a new engine, to a new store. We also offer several designs for your site.

  • PrestaShop Update Options

    We’ve prepared three update options for your PrestaShop online store

  • Basic Update We update the site using updated scripts. It's quicker and cheaper, but there are some downsides compared to the second method, such as the excess of unnecessary modules.
  • New CMS System We migrate all the necessary data to a new CMS. This rids your site and database of accumulated clutter, resulting in a faster, “cleaner” store with the assurance that old issues won’t resurface and cause disruptions.
  • Redesign and Complete Overhaul of the Online Store You will receive a ready-to-go online store with a unique new design and template, fully optimized for SEO. This includes page load times of up to 3 seconds, thorough internal optimization, and increased conversion as a result.
