Your e-shop is working. But is it costing you sales?;
The move to PrestaShop 9 is not just a version change. It's an opportunity to get a faster, safer and truly mobile-first e-shop, without losing products, customers, orders and organic traffic.

Many PrestaShop 1.7 installations still rely on PHP 7, old themes, heavy modules and custom interventions from many years ago.The store may continue to accept orders, but each new requirement becomes more difficult, more expensive, and more dangerous.
PHP 7 isn't just older and slower than modern versions. It's now obsolete and out of official support.This means it does not receive new security fixes and forces the e-shop to remain connected to old software.
Significantly faster loading
PrestaShop 9 runs on modern PHP 8.x versions and can be built on a cleaner and more efficient architecture.
With a new theme, proper caching, optimized images, and removal of old modules, the improvement in speed —especially on mobile— can be significant. immediate and measurable.
Mobile experience designed for sales
The responsive design of most old PrestaShop 1.7 themes is now outdated. It often displays huge product cards, difficult to use filters, and endless scrolling.
In the new e-shop we can display two products per row on mobile, clear prices and discounts, easy-to-use filters, quick add to cart and sticky purchase options.
The customer sees more products in less time and reaches the market more easily.
Fewer problems at checkout
In PrestaShop 1.7 we are often forced to use custom One Page Checkout modules from third-party vendors.
As banking modules, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay evolve, they are often created incompatibilities with custom checkout, consent fields or how payments are loaded.
PrestaShop 9.2 introduces native One Page Checkout, gradually reducing dependence on complex third-party solutions and creating a more solid foundation for modern payments.
Better SEO through better experience
A faster mobile e-shop offers a better user experience, lower latency, and a more correct technical basis for Google.
During the transition, we maintain or properly redirect existing URLs and check canonical tags, structured data, sitemaps, metadata and redirects.
So we don't just protect existing SEO. We create the conditions for better organic performance in the future.
Modern themes and better content
The new PrestaShop 9 generation themes offer a more modern structure, better mobile behavior, and a cleaner base for custom design.
At the same time, they work better with modern builders and content blocks, making it easier to create:
landing pages, shopping guides, banners, content-rich categories, promotional sections and more comprehensive product pages.
The e-shop ceases to be just a product catalog and becomes real marketing tool.
Ready for AI and automation via MCP
PrestaShop 9.2 brings the Ask AI in the back office, with MCP technology that connects the e-shop in a controlled manner with applications such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
The owner can request information about sales, products, inventory, and orders in natural language and, where permitted, approve the execution of actions.
At the same time, a modern base is being created for connection with ERP, marketplaces, n8n, marketing workflows and custom AI agents, without requiring a different closed solution for each platform.
“"`Why move forward now?;
The longer an e-shop remains on an old version, the more technical debt increases. Modules stop updating, new payments create conflicts, hosting providers remove old PHP versions, and each change requires more temporary interventions.
It is preferable for the transition to be made in an organized manner today, rather than forced when a payment module, server, or serious technical problem no longer allows for postponement.
You are not starting from scratch again.
The new e-shop is built in a separate environment, while the existing store continues to operate. We transfer and verify the data before the final go-live.
- Products and categories
- Images and features
- Prices and stocks
- Customers and addresses
- Orders and history
- SEO metadata and URLs
- Payments and shipping
- ERP, feeds and external links
