Sometimes, in the course of e-commerce operations, a decision is made to migrate to a simpler and less complicated shop solution. The reasons for such a decision may be different – it happens that Prestashop is chosen excessively compared to the customer’s needs and creates landing-page shops or shops with a database of 20 products. Prestashop was absolutely not designed to meet the needs of customers with a small number of products on offer, the ideal solution for such businesses is the WooCommerce plugin available with the WordPress CMS system. What is significant here is the lack of advice at the stage of choosing the shop script, resulting from the lack of experience or sometimes deliberate actions of companies or people who create online shops – the customer finally receives a product that is expensive to maintain compared to the size and scale of his business. For this group of customers where, colloquially speaking, they were shot with the Prestashop selection, we offer a quick migration to WooCommerce.
Be calm, we transfer all possible data.
After migration, we conduct a series of functional tests and we also review the database in terms of data integrity.
