Everything you'd want to know before you install.
A detailed look at how Store Staging & Cloning for PrestaShop 8 & 9 works, why we built it the way we did, and the thinking behind the features above.
A staging that never puts your shop at risk
The staging is created on the same disk as your shop. A full disk can block the live shop. Staging Pro therefore calculates the space needed before copying anything: files (without caches, logs, sessions and backups), database, safety margin and space always kept free for the shop. If space is missing, the copy is refused with three clear figures (needed, available, missing) and concrete solutions. During the copy, the space is monitored continuously and every write is checked: if there is a problem, the copy stops and the partial copy is removed automatically.
A wizard designed to avoid bad surprises
Choose the location (subfolder, subdomain, same or separate database), the data to copy and the protections, then run the pre-checks. The report shows the estimated size, the estimated duration based on your last copy, the write and MySQL permissions, the PHP limits, the web server, and the largest folders you can exclude in one click.
A copy you can watch progress
The environment card shows the steps, the files and tables copied, the elapsed and remaining time, and the latest log lines. The copy advances in batches of a few seconds, with no timeout. If the page is closed, it resumes when reopened. A button lets you stop it cleanly at any time.
A staging invisible to Google and safe for your customers
Noindex is sent by PHP on all pages, even under nginx. E-mails are always blocked, even if someone re-enables SMTP. Online payments and sensitive modules (cron, synchronizations, tracking, recurring billing) are disabled, and offline methods remain available for test orders. Protect access with an HTTP password or a private link that works on all servers.
Push to production without interrupting the shop
Choose the tables to push, grouped by category, with the number of rows in the staging and in the shop. They are prepared aside, then swapped in a single atomic operation: the shop never sees an empty table. The replaced tables are kept and undo takes one click from the Backups tab.
