Everything you'd want to know before you install.
A detailed look at how DataFirefly Staging Pro works, why we built it the way we did, and the thinking behind the features above.
A real staging environment, without touching your hosting
Staging Pro clones your shop into a subfolder of your current hosting, with a dedicated table prefix in the same database. No second server, no new MySQL access, no DNS configuration: you click, the module does everything.
Zero timeout, even for large shops
The copy engine works in batches of a few seconds and resumes exactly where it stopped: file copy with a persistent queue, database cloning in row chunks. A multi-gigabyte shop clones without errors, even with a low max_execution_time.
A staging site invisible to Google and your customers
From the moment it is created, the staging site is protected: X-Robots-Tag noindex header, noindex meta tag, robots.txt, optional htpasswd authentication, outgoing e-mails disabled, payment modules disabled and an orange STAGING banner on both the front office and the back office. Test freely, with no risk of e-mailing a real customer or polluting your SEO.
The push that changes everything: send your changes back to production
Once your tests are validated, select exactly which tables to transfer to production. Before each replacement, the module backs up the production table with an instant timestamped rename. If anything goes wrong, the Rollback button restores the last backup in one click. Critical tables (URLs, configuration, sessions) are protected and can never be pushed.
Built for the daily life of merchants and agencies
Unlimited environments, one-click Refresh to rebuild a staging site from the current production state, fast-copy options (skip statistics, image symlinks), detailed per-environment log. The module relies on ModuleAdminController with no Composer dependency, for full compatibility from PrestaShop 8 to 9.
