Migration from Shoper to PrestaShop

Migration from Shoper to PrestaShop

Do you want to grow your shop beyond the scope of your chosen SaaS plan? I will migrate products and categories from Shoper to PrestaShop and prepare the agreed payment and delivery methods. You gain the freedom to choose your own hosting, contractor and direction for expanding the shop.

How much does the migration from Shoper to PrestaShop cost?

• Up to 999 products: €275 net.
• From 1000 products: €410 net.
• Migration of customers and orders: individual quote. Not included in either of the options above.

This is the price of a one-off service covering the migration of the catalogue and the configuration of the agreed payment systems and couriers. Choose the catalogue size in the product options. We confirm the number of products and the structure of variants against the source data before the work begins.

More freedom than in a ready-made shop package

PrestaShop Open Source does not require a subscription for the engine itself. You can choose the server and modules, and commission changes to the shop from a contractor of your choice. Compared with the subscription model this gives you more control over the structure of your spending and may lower running costs. However, we assess the savings taking into account hosting, updates, modules and technical support, not just the monthly platform fee.

What does the catalogue migration include?

I start by checking the Shoper export: identifiers, names, descriptions, prices, images, categories and variants. Then I match the category structure and relations to PrestaShop. The import check covers the completeness of the catalogue and the correctness of assignments, so that products do not end up in random sections.

• Products: transfer of the available data, including names, descriptions, prices, images and identifiers, within the scope confirmed after checking the export.
• Categories: mapping of the structure and assignment of products.
• Payments: configuration of the agreed methods using compatible modules and payment provider accounts.
• Couriers: configuration of the agreed delivery methods and integrations using data provided by the shop owner.
• Verification: checking the import and category assignments, and testing the configuration of the agreed payments and deliveries.

What should you know before the migration?

I configure payments and deliveries again on the PrestaShop side. Settings of Shoper applications are not transferred automatically to the modules of another platform. The appropriate integrations and access to provider accounts will be needed; we agree separately on moving features beyond the catalogue.

This service covers migration to an agreed, prepared PrestaShop environment. It is not a project to build a whole shop from scratch. Hosting, the domain, paid licences for PrestaShop modules, payment provider fees and shipping costs are not included in the migration price. Unusual integrations and additional work are confirmed before we start.

How does the cooperation work?

1. We define the scope. You provide the address of your current shop, the number of products, the list of payments and couriers, and information about the required features.
2. I check the data. I verify the available export and the way products, categories and variants will be mapped.
3. I migrate the catalogue and configure the integrations. The work takes place in the agreed target environment.
4. We verify the result. We check the catalogue and the purchase path before the agreed launch.

Customers, accounts and order history

Do you also want to move customers or orders? I will prepare an individual quote after reviewing the available data, addresses, statuses and relations. Password compatibility and the ability to keep logging in require separate verification. Personal data should not be sent through an ordinary contact form; we will agree on how to transfer the data before the work begins.

Migration and SEO

Changing platform may change the URLs of products and categories. Before launch it is worth agreeing a map of old and new URLs and the scope of 301 redirects. A full SEO migration, audit and ranking monitoring require the scope to be agreed separately. I do not promise an automatic improvement in rankings, nor a migration without any fluctuation in traffic.

Will I stop paying the Shoper subscription after the migration?

The new shop can run on PrestaShop Open Source without a subscription for that engine. You settle and terminate the agreement with your current provider according to its terms, only after the correct launch of the new shop has been confirmed. The migration itself does not terminate the agreement.

Define the scope of your migration

Provide the address of your Shoper shop, the catalogue size and the payments and deliveries you use. Indicate whether you are also interested in moving customers and orders. Contact me about the migration to PrestaShop.
