  3. 4 PrestaShop vs Shopify: Introduction PrestaShop and Shopify are two popular eCommerce solutions that assist thousands of merchants all over the world in running their business. They both provide the possibility to build and modify e- shops, add and sell products, accept payments, manage and finalize orders, and make the online shopping accessible to everyone. Due to the great variety of built-in robust features PrestaShop and Shopify appear to be very similar. However, if we look closer - there’s one significant difference. PrestShop is an open-source platform. It can be downloaded for free, but requires a separate web hosting. Merchants have to cope with its maintenance and constant updates themselves. Shopify, on the other hand, is a fully hosted platform and is available on a paid subscription basis. Therefore, the company hosts a store and deals with security issues, upgrades, and maintenance. Currently, PrestaShop is home to 322,338 live websites, whereas Shopify - 3,298,025. If we compare the statistical data from the Google Trends, the prevalence of Shopify is pretty evident:

  4. 5 Why Migrate From PrestaShop to Shopify? PrestaShop, like any other platform, has its pros and cons. Due to its high level of scalability, it is an ideal solution for those who are familiar with programming languages or are ready to spend a fortune on a professional developer.

  5. 6 How to Migrate from PrestaShop to Shopify? As you probably know, there are several ways to migrate your store from one platform to another. But an automated one is considered to be the safest and fastest option. Services like Cart2Cart provide you with the following benefits: Possibility to move all the necessary data just within a few clicks and a little time, No tech skills needed, even the newbies can cope with the store transfer, Costs less than hiring a pro, No need to worry about the store’s integrity, Minimal human involvement, 24/7 customer support, No business interruption, Wide range of additional options to ease the platform’s switch, etc.

  6. 7 Automated PrestaShop to Shopify Migration Now, as promised, let’s explore the peculiarities of automated migration with our extensive stepwise guide. Follow these simple steps and transfer your store’s data from PrestaShop to Shopify: Go through your PrestaShop Store Check your current PrestaShop store data, delete all the outdated or irrelevant information, duplicates, inconsistencies. Keep in mind that Cart2Cart doesn’t delete any data during the migration process. But you may backup the store to any of the external devices, just like a precaution. Establish a Shopify Store To proceed, you’ll have to register a Shopify account and consider choosing a suitable pricing plan. We advise you not to alter an existing Shopify theme, since it may negatively impact the switching process. Once the transfer is over, you may freely modify it the way you like.

  7. 8 Set up Source and Target Carts Once finished, choose PrestaShop as your Source Cart, provide the store’s URL, and Install the Connection bridge. To do so, please download the .zip bridge file and extract its contents to the PrestaShop root folder using an FTP panel. Next, pick Shopify as your Target cart from the popup list, click Install Plugin to download the Cart2Cart app from the official Shopify marketplace. After the connection with the Shopify store is established, you may proceed to the next step of the Migration Wizard by clicking the Choose Entities button.

  8. 9 Indicate Data Entities At this point, you’ll have to decide which data types need to be moved from PrestaShop to Shopify store during the migration. The list of the transferable data includes: Products, Reviews, Categories, Manufacturers, Customers, Orders, Blogs, Posts, Coupons. It is possible to pick all the data types by checking the box "Select all" or migrate only specific entities.

  9. 10 Select Additional Migration Options To broaden migration possibilities and make the switching process even more, we recommend you to consider choosing some of the additional options: create 301 redirects, preserve order ID’s, migrate customer groups into customer tags, and migrate source store categories into automated collections.

  10. 11 Please pay attention to the following Shopify peculiarities: Due to the specific way of the URL creation, Categories are called collections on Shopify, and subcategories - product tags. Additionally, Shopify has two collection types - custom and automated ones. The only difference is that the latter automatically obtains the matching products while the custom type lets merchants adapt collections to their liking and preferences. Shopify turns categories into collections (myshopify.com/collections/), changes the URLs of the product page (myshopify.com/products/glasses), and substitutes dots with dashes at the end of links (/products/glasses-html). If your PrestaShop store contains incorrect customer emails, our service will automatically generate new default "unknown" email address during the switch. Also, the same will happen in case your current store Orders are not associated with a particular customer.

  11. 12 Carry out Data Mapping Please, map PrestaShop Order Statuses to match them to the corresponding ones on the Shopify store. If your target cart doesn’t support some specific order statuses by default, don’t forget to change the target cart settings and add the lacking order status types.

  12. 13 Perform Demo Migration This step of the Migration Wizard is not obligatory, but we recommend our clients not to skip it. The Demo Migration option is free and doesn’t take much time - only up to 30 minutes. Therefore, you’ll be able to transfer 10-30 data entities from PrestaShop to Shopify and see the service in action. Important note! Please, do not close the browser window when the migration is in progress.
