Migrating from PrestaShop to Shopify: the complete guide

Nico Bértolo · 2026-10-06

In short

• Products, variants, customers, orders and content can be migrated; customer passwords cannot.
• PrestaShop URLs include numeric IDs, so every ranking URL needs its own 301 redirect.
• A proper migration takes 4 to 8 weeks and should include a redesign.

The most expensive mistake in a migration is redirecting everything to the homepage. Map each ranking URL to its exact Shopify equivalent.

• Data only: a few hundred euros.
• Professional migration with redirects: usually €1,500–€4,000.
• Custom conversion-focused design: from around €4,000–€5,000.
