Are you thinking about upgrading from Prestashop 1.6 to 1.7? It's never too late! But beyond the end of support, here are 77 REASONS why you should upgrade to this release!

REASON 1: It's cooked!

June 30, 2019: end of support of Prestashop's 1.6 release... So it's time - even urgent - to switch over! Beyond this formal point, it's the whole environment that's changing: themes and modules are no longer of interest to developers, and the focus is now exclusively on the 1.7 release.

REASON 2: It's faster

Prestashop release 1.7 brings speed gains in the software as a whole. As well as streamlining the front-end components, the back-end has been refined and reworked, and is now a pleasure to work with! Gone are the infamous latencies on listings and product sheets!

REASON 3: It sells

With release 1.7, the order tunnel becomes clearer. When switching from 1.6 to 1.7, the transformation rates observed by Soledis teams increased, from 10 to 30% on average. What's good for the buying tunnel is good for the P&L!

REASON 4: It's better

While Prestashop 1.7 suffered from the usual minor teething problems, it's now time for the next phase, stability is currently at the top of its game, especially since 1.7.5: the Prestashop teams have really worked hard to bring out a high-performance 1.7 release. Module integration, theme compatibility, everything is now faster and smoother. The team's choice is clear: no photo, release 1.7!

REASON 5: It's classier

We can't talk about the 1.7 release without mentioning Symfony. Symfony is more than just chic name-dropping for a night on the town. real code structuring. It becomes more robust, more modular and more testable. Proprietary architecture (yuck!) is abandoned in favor ofa stable, internationally recognized environment.

REASON 6: It's stronger

Symfony integrates systematic preventive security measures, which makes it less vulnerable to vulnerabilities and attacks. What's more, it boasts native PHP 7 compatibility, which is really powerful... and incidentally the only one now supported!

REASON 7: It's with SOLEDIS
