PrestaShop to Shopify Migration

PrestaShop, being open-source, offers greater customization and lower costs but requires technical skills. Choose Shopify for simplicity or PrestaShop for flexibility and control.

There’s no fixed duration for migrating a PrestaShop store to Shopify. The time needed depends on variables like the size of your product catalog, the number of customer records, and the complexity of your PrestaShop configuration.

While migrating your data from PrestaShop to Shopify, you won’t be able to move customer passwords.

Your customers will be required to set new passwords for your Shopify store.

Yes, Shopify themes are different from PrestaShop. You’ll need to choose a Shopify theme and customize it to recreate your store’s look and feel.

Shopify often does not send client email notifications during migration. We also recommend that you disable any third-party email or shipping apps in your Shopify store to stop them from automatically sending messages to customers when transferring orders.
