PrestaShop Development & International Scale
Sell Everywhere.
In Any Currency.
PrestaShop is the engine of choice for international brands. We build high-performance, open-source stores capable of handling 100,000+ products across multiple countries, languages, and currencies—all from a single dashboard.
Multi-Store Architecture
Manage 10 different brands or country-specific stores (e.g., .com, .fr, .de) from one back office. We configure PrestaShop's powerful Multi-Store feature to share inventory while customizing pricing for each region.
Custom Symfony Modules
PrestaShop is built on the Symfony framework. We don't just use plugins; we code custom modules to integrate with your ERP, logistics providers, or unique business logic that off-the-shelf addons can't handle.
Massive Catalog Support
WooCommerce chokes after 10,000 products. PrestaShop thrives on it. We optimize database queries and server architecture to ensure your store stays lightning fast even with 100,000+ SKUs.
Development Cycle.
Built for scale.
Migration & Data
Moving from PrestaShop 1.6 or another platform? We handle the complex migration of products, customers, and order history to the latest PrestaShop 8 version securely.
Theme Development
We build custom themes using the Smarty template engine. Our designs are mobile-first and optimized for Core Web Vitals to ensure high Google rankings.
International Setup
We configure tax rules for different countries (VAT, Sales Tax), set up shipping zones, and install language packs to ensure a localized experience for every visitor.
Performance Tuning
We implement advanced caching mechanisms (Memcached/Redis) and CDN integration to ensure your high-resolution product images load instantly globally.

Common Questions
Why use PrestaShop over Shopify?
Ownership and Cost. With PrestaShop, you own the code and pay zero transaction fees. For high-volume stores, Shopify's fees can cost you thousands per month.
Is it hard to upgrade?
Major upgrades (like 1.6 to 1.7/8) are complex. We specialize in these "Major Version Migrations," ensuring your data is safe and your modules are compatible.
PrestaShop 8 migration without losing orders or rankings
Stores still on PrestaShop 1.6 or an early 1.7 release are tied to PHP versions that no longer receive security fixes, and many of their modules have no updated version. Moving them to the current branch is usually a migration rather than a one-click upgrade: products, combinations, customers, order history and CMS pages are carried over to a clean installation, while old modules are replaced, updated or rewritten as custom modules. We keep product URLs where possible, map 301 redirects for the rest, and compare order totals, stock and customer counts between the old and new store before the domain is switched. Where it makes sense, we go straight to PrestaShop 9 instead of stopping at 8.
Multi-store ecommerce setup
PrestaShop's multistore feature runs several shops from one back office, arranged in groups that can share or separate customers, carts and stock. It suits a retail brand with a wholesale site, or one shop per country with its own language, currency and prices. It is not always the right answer: shops with completely different catalogs and teams are often easier to run as separate installations. We settle the structure with you before any data goes in, because changing it later is laborious.
PrestaShop theme design
A theme can be redesigned without rebuilding the store. We build child themes or custom themes on the platform's own templating system, keep checkout changes within what your payment modules support, and test product pages with your real combinations and longest product names.
Frequently asked questions about prestashop development agency
How long does a PrestaShop 8 migration take?
It depends on catalog size, the number of custom modules and how heavily the old theme was modified. A test migration on a copy of the store shows the real effort before the live move is scheduled.
Can you take over a store another developer built?
Yes. As a PrestaShop specialist, we start with a review of the code and modules, a full backup and a staging copy, then fix the most urgent issues first.
Is multistore built into PrestaShop, or is it an add-on?
It is part of the core software and is switched on in the back office. Some third-party modules do not handle multistore well, so compatibility is checked module by module.

Choosing a PrestaShop developer
Whether you hire an independent PrestaShop developer or a PrestaShop development company, ask how they handle three things: upgrades, custom modules and taking over an existing store. PrestaShop module development should build on the platform's own module structure and the Symfony framework instead of editing core files, so the store can still be upgraded. Migrations should be rehearsed on a copy, with order totals, stock and customer counts compared before the domain is switched.
Our PrestaShop ecommerce development services cover new stores, multistore setups and migrations from 1.6 or early 1.7 releases. For existing stores, PrestaShop web development services start with a review of the code and modules, a full backup and a staging copy. The right PrestaShop development solutions depend on your catalog and markets: product combinations, languages, currencies and tax rules shape the store long before the theme does.
