PrestaShop 8 migration
Why migrate to PrestaShop 8?
Available since March 2023, the latest version of the open-source PrestaShop CMS has since been extensively tested and stabilized. The developer community is working for this version, and some modules are only compatible with it. Please note that support for PrestaShop 1.6 ended in summer 2019, and support for PrestaShop 1.7 will end with the arrival of PrestaShop 9.
How do I migrate to PrestaShop 8?
The Soledis teams, with their extensive experience of migrations, guarantee the recovery of your data, the maintenance of your functionalities and your SEO elements.
Whether it's because you're using non-native modules, or because you've made specific developments to your store, or because the economic stakes are high, it's essential to seek support to avoid the loss of functionality, data and referencing, and ultimately a negative impact of the migration on the efficiency of your online store!
Migration to PrestaShop 8, with the business processes put in place by our teams, provides security as well as an opportunity to make your site more efficient, attract more consumers, make their experience - and yours - more fluid, and increase your sales!

New features & benefits of PrestaShop version 8
Technological transition
A major transition since 1.7: the Symfony architecture. The php framework is recognized by a large, international Open Source community for the quality of its code, its stability, its modularity, its ability to be tested and its enhanced security against vulnerabilities and attacks. In other words, the technological shift taken by Prestashop with version 1.7 is stabilized with version 8.
Speed & fluidity
Speed and fluidity are guaranteed in both Back Office and Front Office. The usual Back Office latencies of previous versions have disappeared. Navigation has also been completely redesigned for comfortable, more logical browsing, with grouped tabs for faster store management and product sheet creation.
Shopping tunnel & graphics
The Front Office, meanwhile, benefits from a "user-centric" orientation: the order tunnel has been entirely redesigned for rapid purchasing. The increase in conversion rates observed by our teams after the migration validate these evolutions: up to 30% growth! The child themes now available make theme customization easier to set up and maintain over time.
