Step-by-step guide to moving your PrestaShop store to Shopify. Transfer products, customers, orders, and preserve your SEO rankings.
Use PrestaShop's back office to export products and customers as CSV. For orders and CMS content, use phpMyAdmin or a migration tool for a complete export.
Set up your Shopify account and configure core settings. Choose a theme that matches your brand and set up payment gateways, shipping, and taxes.
Map PrestaShop product combinations to Shopify variants. Import via CSV or automated tools. Pay attention to multi-language content if your store supports multiple languages.
Import customer accounts with addresses and order history. Use Shopify's customer CSV import or an automated migration tool for large databases.
PrestaShop uses different URL structures than Shopify. Create comprehensive 301 redirects to maintain search engine rankings and prevent 404 errors.
Test every product page, the checkout flow, email notifications, and mobile responsiveness. Verify all redirects work before pointing your domain to Shopify.
Shopify supports multi-language via Markets or translation apps like Langify or Weglot. Plan your language strategy before migrating content.
List all active PrestaShop modules and find Shopify app equivalents. Most common functionality like reviews, wishlists, and newsletters have mature Shopify apps.
PrestaShop combinations with many attributes may exceed Shopify's 3-option/100-variant limit. Consider restructuring as separate products or using a variant expander app.
Yes, but with limitations. Shopify supports up to 3 product options and 100 variants per product. PrestaShop combinations with more attributes will need to be restructured. Migration tools like LitExtension handle most standard combinations automatically.
Shopify supports multiple languages through Shopify Markets (built-in) or apps like Weglot and Langify. Migrate your primary language first, then add translations. Consider which languages drive the most revenue to prioritize.
While PrestaShop is open-source, total cost of ownership including hosting, security, and maintenance often exceeds Shopify's monthly fee. Shopify's Basic plan at $39/month includes hosting, SSL, and security updates that would cost $50-200/month separately for PrestaShop.
