PrestaShop Development Agency · PrestaShop 8, Modules, Migration

PrestaShop engineering for European-shaped commerce where the platform's existing operational fit is good — custom modules, theme work, performance, and migration paths in either direction (in or out of PrestaShop).

Why HXRL

Our point of view

PrestaShop has a real installed base in European-shaped commerce. We engineer for those clients without treating PrestaShop as legacy — and we offer honest migration where another platform would fit better.

Outcome

A PrestaShop store that performs and scales — or a credible migration plan to a platform that fits the next phase better.

FAQ

Questions clients actually ask

Drawn from sales calls, not SEO filler. Want a question added? Drop it in the form on this page — we update from real enquiries.

PrestaShop or Shopify?+

PrestaShop when European-shaped commerce, multi-store, and self-hosting matter. Shopify for SaaS-shaped operational simplicity. Both ship at scale.

Migrating to PrestaShop 8?+

Yes — we run upgrade paths from PrestaShop 1.6 / 1.7 to 8 with careful module audit (most legacy modules need replacement).

Custom modules vs marketplace?+

Marketplace where coverage exists and is well-supported. Custom when the requirement is unique to your operations.

Performance — is PrestaShop slow?+

Out-of-the-box yes; properly tuned (caching, image CDN, DB indexes) — competitive. Performance is engineering work, not platform fate.
