Can I use it on my live shop?

No. The module is meant for a test shop, a staging copy or a local environment. It asks for confirmation before every generation and shows a warning if the shop is open to visitors with debug mode off. The data is fictitious but appears as real orders and real customers.

Does the purge delete my real products or customers?

No. The module records the ID of every object it creates and the purge deletes only those. If test orders used your existing products, the stock they took is given back.

Are emails sent to the fictitious customers?

No. Orders are written directly, without calling a payment module or the order status emails. Every test customer uses an example.com address, a reserved domain that receives no mail.

How long does a generation take?

The module shows an estimated duration before you start, based on the speed measured during previous generations on your server. As a guide, the Medium preset (200 products, 300 customers, 800 orders) takes about one minute on a standard server. Large volumes are best run from the command line.

Can I regenerate exactly the same data?

Yes. Each generation uses a random seed shown in the history. The same seed with the same settings on the same shop produces the same data set, so you can replay a test exactly after a change.

Is the module compatible with PrestaShop 9?

Yes, from PrestaShop 8.0 to 9.x with the same ZIP. It is built on ModuleAdminController, uses no Composer dependency and follows the image formats configured in the shop.

PrestaShop Dummy Data Generator: Fake Products, Customers and Orders for Testing

A shop full of realistic fake data in minutes, emptied cleanly in one click.

Testing a theme on 12 demo products tells you nothing about how it behaves with 5,000 references. An invoicing, export or statistics module cannot be validated without refunded orders, vouchers and currencies. This module fills your test shop with a believable catalog, customers and order history in 8 languages, then removes exactly what it created. Generation runs in short batches: 150,000 orders go through without ever reaching the PHP time limit.

A detailed look at how PrestaShop Dummy Data Generator: Fake Products, Customers and Orders for Testing works, why we built it the way we did, and the thinking behind the features above.

§ 01

Why an empty shop tests nothing

PrestaShop demo data holds a dozen products and a few orders. A theme that looks fast on that base can collapse on a category of 800 products, a statistics module can show empty charts, an accounting export may never have met a credit slip or an order in pounds sterling. This module creates the volume and variety a real shop builds up over several years.

§ 02

A believable catalog in all your languages

Products are spread across 8 universes, with names built from a vocabulary translated into French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese. Prices follow a realistic distribution with .90 or .99 endings, some products are on sale, others out of stock. Combinations, native packs, virtual products, brands and features give you enough to test filters, product pages and listings in conditions close to production.

§ 03

Orders that add up to the last cent

Orders are written without a payment module and without sending email, but into the same tables the core uses: order lines, taxes, carrier, dated status history, payment, invoice. Totals are checked: products, discounts and shipping match the amount paid. Refunded orders get a credit slip, business customers pay their group price, and the spread over time follows a gradual growth with evening peaks.

§ 04

Test your server, not only your shop

Each generation produces a report: average time per product, per order or per customer, records per minute, peak PHP memory. Run the same preset before and after a hosting move, a PHP upgrade or a MySQL setting change, and you compare figures instead of impressions. The Stress test preset goes up to 20,000 products and 150,000 orders, and the command line lets you go further without a browser open.

§ 05

Remove everything without breaking anything

The module keeps track of every object it creates. The purge deletes them in the right order, orders and credit slips first, catalog last, and leaves your real products, customers and orders untouched. If test orders were placed on your real products, their stock is given back. The purge runs in batches with a progress bar and can target one generation or all the generations of the shop.
