Shopify PartnerPrestaShop to Shopify Migration Service
We map products, combinations, customers, orders, multistore content, modules, integrations, and URLs into a maintainable Shopify setup.
What migrates from PrestaShop to Shopify
PrestaShop data is often spread across core tables and modules. This is how the main records usually map to Shopify; module-owned data is confirmed during the assessment.
Products and combinations
YesProducts, combinations, references, prices, stock and images move to Shopify products and variants. Large attribute combinations are checked against Shopify's variant and option limits.
URLs and 301 redirects
YesFriendly URLs, including those with product IDs, are mapped to Shopify URLs with permanent redirects.
SEO metadata
YesMeta titles and descriptions move to Shopify's SEO fields, per language where translations exist.
Customers
YesProfiles and addresses migrate.
Order history
YesHistorical orders are imported and linked to customers without triggering emails, payments or stock changes.
Categories and manufacturers
YesCategories become collections; manufacturers move to the vendor field or collections.
Reviews
Yes, via a review appProduct comments from PrestaShop modules are imported into your chosen Shopify review app.
CMS pages and blog posts
YesCMS pages and posts from blog modules move to Shopify pages and blogs.
Features
Yes, with mappingProduct features become metafields that can power storefront filters.
Customer groups and specific prices
Yes, with mappingThey become customer tags with discounts, or Shopify B2B catalogues where wholesale pricing is involved.
Subscriptions
DependsSubscription modules move to a Shopify subscription app; saved payment details depend on your payment gateway.
Gift cards and store credit
PartlyBalances held in modules are reconciled and recreated as Shopify gift cards or store credit.
Cart rules and vouchers
RecreatedCart rules are rebuilt as Shopify discounts and tested.
Multistore and languages
Yes, with mappingLanguages and currencies map to Shopify Markets and translations; separate shops may become expansion stores.
PrestaShop migrations depend on the modules and data underneath
Combinations, features, custom fields, multistore rules, localisation, and module-owned data need to be identified before the Shopify build is scoped.
PrestaShop behaviour is often distributed across modules, overrides, and multistore configuration. We make those dependencies visible first so the Shopify implementation stays understandable after launch.

Our PrestaShop to Shopify migration process
- 1.
Store and module audit
We document PrestaShop versions, shops, themes, overrides, modules, data volumes, localisation, integrations, and daily operations.
- 2.
Data and market mapping
Catalogue, customer, order, content, multistore, language, currency, tax, shipping, payment, and SEO requirements receive Shopify targets.
- 3.
Migration rehearsal
Representative combinations, prices, customers, orders, content, and localised data are imported and reconciled before full migration.
- 4.
Shopify storefront build
We implement the theme, Markets, content structure, apps, custom logic, analytics, and operational integrations.
- 5.
End-to-end validation
Merchandising, localisation, accounts, checkout, tax, payment, shipping, emails, feeds, tracking, and redirects are tested.
- 6.
Final sync and launch
The final data window, DNS, redirects, integrations, QA ownership, support, and post-launch monitoring are coordinated.
Migration risk assessment
What we review before your PrestaShop migration
We identify the PrestaShop data, multistore, localisation, and module decisions that determine scope and launch risk.
Multistore mapping
Shops, domains, languages, currencies, countries, taxes, customer groups, and price rules are documented.
Module dependency map
Modules, overrides, custom code, scheduled jobs, and integrations are grouped by target solution.
You receive a scoped migration approach, major risks, dependencies, and the decisions needed before implementation.

Migration apps vs a managed migration
Apps such as Cart2Cart and LitExtension connect to PrestaShop and copy common records into Shopify, while import tools such as Matrixify load prepared spreadsheets. For a straightforward catalogue they are a quick, cost-effective way to move data.
When a migration app is usually enough
- A modest catalogue with simple products and variants
- Few integrations, apps or custom fields to carry over
- Limited organic traffic, so redirects can be handled with a short list
- An in-house team with time to check the imported data and fix exceptions
When a managed migration is worth it
- Organic search matters and every indexable URL needs a mapped redirect
- Custom fields, complex options, B2B pricing or subscriptions need deliberate mapping
- ERP, fulfilment, marketing or other integrations must keep working on day one
- You need record-level reconciliation, rehearsal imports and a planned cutover
A managed migration can still use these tools where they fit. The difference is that one team owns the result, from mapping to launch.
PrestaShop to Shopify migration FAQ
A PrestaShop to Shopify migration typically takes 4–6 weeks depending on catalogue size, integrations and design scope.
We confirm the timeline after the risk assessment, once data volumes, integrations and the storefront scope are clear.
It depends on scope: the size and complexity of the catalogue, which data needs to move, the integrations and custom functionality involved, and whether the storefront is being redesigned or rebuilt.
We don't quote a figure before we've seen the store. The risk assessment comes first and gives you a scoped approach to price against.
No. Your PrestaShop store stays live and keeps trading while we build and test the Shopify store separately. Any short content or order freeze is agreed with you in advance.
We crawl every relevant shop and locale, inventory friendly URLs, metadata, canonicals, content, schema, and internal links, then implement and test permanent redirects before launch.
Customer passwords can't be transferred because they are stored as one-way hashes, so customers activate their Shopify accounts or sign in with a one-time code.
Anything else that can't move directly is documented with a replacement plan rather than silently dropped.
