How to update your PrestaShop with Prestadesign

Below is a step-by-step guide to updating your PrestaShop store with Prestadesign.

1. Planning and preparation

Before updating your PrestaShop store, it’s important to plan and prepare the process thoroughly. Prestadesign helps you create a clear plan to ensure a smooth and hassle-free update.

Complete backup: Before starting the update, it is crucial to create a full backup of your webshop, including the database and all files. This ensures that you can restore your webshop if anything goes wrong during the update.
Module and theme review: Ensure that all existing modules and themes are compatible with the latest PrestaShop version and update them where required to prevent conflicts.
Test environment: Set up a test environment where you can perform the update and test functionality before updating your webshop. This helps identify and resolve any issues in advance.

2. Update implementation

Once the preparations are complete, it’s time to carry out the update itself. Prestadesign ensures that the process is performed safely and efficiently.

Maintenance mode: To prevent customers from placing orders during the update, your webshop should be temporarily closed. This can be done by enabling maintenance mode.
Core system update: Follow the official PrestaShop update guidelines to update the core system. Prestadesign can handle this process for you to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Module and theme updates: After updating the core system, update all modules and themes to their latest versions. This ensures compatibility with the new version of PrestaShop.

3. Testing and quality assurance

Once the update is complete, thorough testing is crucial to ensure flawless functionality. Prestadesign performs extensive tests to ensure your webshop is fully ready for launch.

Functionality testing: Ensure that all core functions — such as product pages, cart flow, payments, and shipping — are working flawlessly.
Usability testing: Ensure that your webshop is easy to navigate and user-friendly for your customers. Test across different devices and browsers to guarantee compatibility.
Security testing: Carry out security testing to ensure that your store is protected against potential threats.

4. Launch and monitoring

Once testing is complete and you are satisfied with the update, your webshop can go live again. Prestadesign monitors your webshop to ensure everything works correctly after the update.

Reopening the webshop: Disable maintenance mode and reopen your webshop for customers.
Monitoring: Closely monitor your webshop’s performance and security during the first few days after the update to quickly identify and resolve any issues.
Support: Prestadesign offers ongoing support to help you handle any challenges that may arise after the update.
