PrestaShop is an excellent choice for a rich catalogue, precise pricing and shipping rules, multilingual or B2B sales, with no commission on sales. But it has to be set up properly: a purchased theme patched with overrides, twenty overlapping modules and poorly planned URLs, and the store becomes slow and fragile from the very first update. We build PrestaShop stores with the experience of nearly 300 published PrestaShop modules and our own stores, run for more than ten years.

## What the build includes

### Scoping and site structure

Category structure, combinations and features, filters, pricing and shipping rules, B2B needs. The structure is designed for your customers and for search engines. See our article [how many category levels on PrestaShop](https://www.datafirefly.com/en/2026/09/15/category-tree-levels-prestashop/).

### Theme and buying journey

Hummingbird or a marketplace theme customised through a child theme and display hooks, so it keeps up with updates. The product page, cart and checkout are tuned for mobile conversion.

### Carefully chosen modules

As few modules as possible, chosen for their code quality and ongoing support. When no module covers a need, we develop it rather than stacking three competing modules.

### Data migration and redirects

Products, images, customers and orders carried over from your old site, and every old URL redirected to the right page. See our article [301 redirects after a PrestaShop redesign](https://www.datafirefly.com/en/2026/09/10/301-redirects-after-prestashop-redesign/).

### Performance and SEO from the start

Cache, WebP images, scripts loaded only where they are needed, clean URLs, structured data, hreflang for multilingual stores. Speed is checked before go-live, not fixed afterwards.

## Price and timeline

A store build starts at €8,000 and takes six to twelve weeks. For a first ballpark figure, use our [PrestaShop website price estimator](https://www.datafirefly.com/en/prestashop-website-quote/). The fixed quote follows within 24h of the scoping call.

| Factor | Impact |
| --- | --- |
| Catalogue | A few hundred simple products or thousands of SKUs with combinations. |
| Data migration | An import from another platform requires mapping, testing and redirects. |
| Theme | Customising an existing theme costs less than a fully custom design. |
| Business features | B2B, an ERP connector, a configurator or multistore add dedicated development. |

## Proven building blocks

The modules in our catalogue provide a solid base for the stores we build:

- [AJAX faceted filters](https://www.datafirefly.com/en/product/ajax-faceted-filters-prestashop/), fast and SEO-friendly.
- [Instant search](https://www.datafirefly.com/en/product/live-search-prestashop-suggestions-analytics-conversions/) with search statistics.
- [Homepage slider](https://www.datafirefly.com/en/product/homepage-slider-banners-prestashop/), lightweight and in WebP.
- [Assigning images to combinations](https://www.datafirefly.com/en/product/assign-images-combinations-by-color-prestashop/), useful after a catalogue migration.
- [Shopify to PrestaShop migration](https://www.datafirefly.com/en/product/shopify-to-prestashop-migration/): products, customers and orders.
