Migration from osCommerce to Prestashop

osCommerce has been a popular e-commerce platform for many years, but today, PrestaShop has become one of the most widely used and advanced e-commerce platforms. PrestaShop has many advanced features that are beneficial to any online shop.

Although osCommerce has maintained a large number of shops over the years, it has gradually lost its dominant position to applications such as PrestaShop. PrestaShop has evolved much better, offering many more useful features as standard in its installation package.

In addition, it has a huge community of developers, which allows you to extend the functionalities very easily and without the need to modify code, one of the big problems that osCommerce had.

If you are thinking of migrating your shop from osCommerce to PrestaShop, you are making the right decision. Migrating to PrestaShop will allow you to have a more modern and improved platform to manage your business, as well as being much more SEO friendly.

Why migrate from osCommerce to PrestaShop?

There are many reasons why you should migrate from osCommerce to PrestaShop. Here are some of the main reasons:

Improved administration: PrestaShop has a more modern and user-friendly user interface for shop administration than osCommerce.

Improved design and usability: In addition, the front office also offers a better shopping experience to users, who will be able to navigate through your website more easily and quickly. The thousands of themes available are much better designed for usability and sales conversions.

Advanced features: PrestaShop has a lot of advanced features, such as stock management system, multi-store, and many other features that will help you to improve the management of your business.

Additional functionalities: Thousands of modules available in the PrestaShop marketplace, to install with just a few clicks, without the need to hire programmers.

How will we migrate from osCommerce to PrestaShop?

We will create your new shop with PrestaShop

The first thing to do is to install and configure the new PrestaShop shop. We will customise the payment options, shipping, taxes, performance, etc, according to your needs. We will also make sure that the shop is customised to your needs, with a quality and well optimised design template.

We will pass on the necessary information

We will transfer your catalogue (products, categories, attributes, etc.) customers and orders from your osCommerce shop to PrestaShop. We will do a test migration to check that everything migrates well, you will be able to review the migration and if problems arise, we will fix them to ensure a successful migration without data loss.

Redirect Your Magento Urls To Prestashop

We will redirect all URLs so as not to lose indexing.

Finally, we will redirect all the URLs from osCommerce to PrestaShop to avoid losing the indexation of your content in the search engines of each of them when switching from one shop to the other. This will avoid generating 404 errors that Google could penalise and cause you to lose your SEO positioning.

Why does migrating from osCommerce to PrestaShop help you improve your shop’s SEO?

Migrating from one e-commerce platform to another can have an impact on the SEO positioning of an online shop. However, if carried out properly, the negative effects can be non-existent or even the opposite, as is the case here.

Google and the other search engines do not like big changes in websites and you could end up with a drop in positions after the migration. But if the application to which you have decided to migrate is more optimised and friendlier for organic positioning, in a very short time you will have recovered those positions and they will have increased notably.

In some cases, you never even lose rankings, on the contrary, they increase from the very beginning. PrestaShop is much better designed for SEO compared to osCommerce and this will improve your organic rankings.

In our agency, we can help you so that after the migration the SEO of your project is not damaged. During the migration we will make 301 redirects of all URLs, so that you do not lose the indexed content, but that is only the first step. We can help you to increase your rankings, following the best practices to maximise your SEO results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to migrate from osCommerce to PrestaShop?

The migration time may vary depending on the amount of data you have in your osCommerce online shop. And on the amount of work we have at the time we start working on your business.

It will depend on the functionality you have in your current shop. If you can have these functionalities in PrestaShop using existing modules that can be purchased, it will take less time. But if you have functionalities or integrations with external software that are very specific to your business and you have to make custom developments, the time will be longer.

Each project is different, no two shops are the same, with the same configurations and functionalities. Contact us, tell us about your project so that we can prepare a proposal and give you an approximate timeframe.

How can our agency help you with the migration of your shop?

At our agency, we offer osCommerce to PrestaShop migration services that will allow you to make the transition quickly and efficiently. We have a team of industry experts with years of experience who will help you through the entire process, from preparing your data to setting up your new PrestaShop shop.

In addition, our agency can also help you customise and adapt your PrestaShop shop to your specific needs, adding additional functionalities and features to improve the user experience and increase sales.

The process that we follow and that we can offer you is as follows:

High availability Cloud Hosting for your shop: we take care of setting up a server in the cloud and configuring it with everything necessary for a PrestaShop shop to function properly. In addition, we will take care of the administration, forgetting completely about the technology, we do it for you. We take care of updating the operating system and applying all the necessary security patches. You will have a hosting panel to be able to create your email accounts, databases, ftp access, etc. We also take care of making backups for your peace of mind.
PrestaShop installation and configuration: We install the latest stable version of PrestaShop and configure all the essential functionalities for your business. For example, we configure all carrier options and shipping costs, tax rules for invoicing, payment methods, performance options to make the shop run fast and all general PrestaShop options.
Shop design: We install a design template, the one you have selected from the catalogues we work with. We configure it and customise the design so that it is to your liking and meets your needs. But also, if you need a completely customised design, we can do it. We create a design with Adobe XD or Figma of the main screens of the shop (home, category, product page, etc.) and once you approve them, we create a custom layout for the design template of your shop.
Data migration: Once the shop is ready, we take care of the data migration from osCommerce to PrestaShop. We do a first data migration to check if everything is migrated correctly. If there are errors in the migration, we look for the reason for them and fix them. We delete the migrated data and make a new migration to check if everything is migrated correctly. We will do this process as many times as necessary until all the data is migrated properly.
301 Redirects: Once all the data has been transferred from osCommerce to PrestaShop, it is time to create all the URL redirects so that the content indexing you have in the search engines is not lost. We create 301 redirects from URL to URL so that the visitor always goes to the right place in the new shop.
Improve your shop’s SEO: Additionally, although it is not part of the osCommerce to PrestaShop Migration service, we can do a complete audit of your new shop to see what things should be improved to increase your Google rankings. In this audit, we analyse the content of your main categories and your blog to see if it is optimised for SEO. We will analyse your external linking to check the quality level of your link building strategy. We will check if your project has been penalised by search engines and propose solutions. We will analyse the strategy of your immediate competitors, to propose a strategy to follow with the monthly SEO consultancies that we will offer you, among other things. The aim is to increase your organic positioning in the medium term.
Continuous support for your peace of mind: Finally, we would like to tell you that we are by your side, that we are here to help you in everything you need. You can always count on our team, which has been helping all types of businesses created with PrestaShop for more than 15 years. We have solved all kinds of issues and made all kinds of improvements.
