PrestaShop migration to a modern headless stack

PrestaShop is fine up to a point — at large catalogs and high traffic it starts to struggle. We move you to Sylius/Symfony + Next.js, keeping everything that matters: URLs, SEO, orders and customers.

Why PrestaShop becomes a limit

On large catalogs, filtering and search slow down, the admin becomes sluggish and server costs rise. Optimizations hit the limits of the monolithic architecture.

What’s specific about migrating off PrestaShop

PrestaShop has a few specifics we handle explicitly: product combinations and attributes, theme overrides and custom modules, the URL structure (rewrite + id_product) and multi-shop setups. We map them correctly into the new model and rebuild module functionality natively or via integrations.

  • Product combinations and attributes mapped correctly
  • Custom modules rebuilt natively or via integrations
  • PrestaShop URLs mapped 1:1 for 301 redirects

Our reference: electronic-mag.ro

We migrated electronic-mag.ro, a B2B store with over 351,000 products, off PrestaShop to a headless stack, with real performance results, 1:1 URL mapping and 301 redirects; stated goal: zero traffic loss.

Migration steps

  1. 1

    Audit & inventory

    We analyze your PrestaShop store: catalog, categories, URLs, integrations (couriers, invoicing, marketplace feeds), traffic and pain points. We set measurable goals.

  2. 2

    Migration plan & architecture

    We propose the headless architecture (Sylius/Symfony + Next.js), the data migration plan and the SEO strategy to keep your rankings. You get a clear estimate and timeline.

  3. 3

    Data export & mapping

    We export products, categories, customers and orders from PrestaShop and map them into the new data model, with integrity checks.

  4. 4

    Backend + frontend development

    We build the Sylius/Symfony backend and the Next.js frontend, with incremental deliveries and a staging environment you can test.

  5. 5

    SEO: URL mapping + 301 redirects

    We map all old URLs 1:1 and set up 301 redirects. The stated goal: zero organic-traffic loss, tracked in Search Console after launch.

  6. 6

    Launch & optimization

    A controlled cutover with real-time monitoring (goal: zero downtime), then continuous optimization and subscription maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

No, if done correctly. We map all PrestaShop URLs 1:1 and set up 301 redirects, preserving on-page structure. That’s how we migrated electronic-mag.ro (351,000+ products), with Search Console monitoring after launch.

We rebuild the functionality you need natively in Sylius/Symfony or via dedicated integrations (couriers, invoicing, feeds). You’re no longer dependent on modules of variable quality.

Yes. We migrate products, categories, attributes, customers and order history, with automated integrity checks at every step.

It depends on catalog size and integrations. We start with an audit that sets a clear timeline. See the factors that affect duration in our migration-cost guide.
