PrestaShop to Shopify Migration in Chester
Moving Chester merchants from PrestaShop to Shopify, where the languages your shop speaks shape the whole project. PrestaShop handles multiple languages natively as part of the product record, and Shopify approaches this differently — so a store selling across Europe is migrating a structure rather than simply a catalogue.
Why this comes up
The problem
Products carry three language versions inside PrestaShop, and the Shopify import treats each as a single record.
What you get
What we deliver
- Translation approach decided before import, since it changes the data structure
- Localised URLs planned, as each language needs its own addresses and redirects
- Currencies and regional pricing configured against how you actually sell
- Tax rules rebuilt per market, since these do not transfer between platforms
- Products, combinations and stock migrated with images at full resolution
- Customers and order history transferred, with resets communicated in advance

PrestaShop to Shopify Migration in Chester — common questions
- How does language handling differ?
- PrestaShop stores translations as part of the product itself; Shopify treats them as a layer over a primary record. That difference determines how the import is structured, and getting it wrong means either one language survives or three separate products appear.
- What happens to localised URLs?
- They need mapping individually. Each language version has its own addresses with their own accumulated search value, so redirects must cover every locale rather than the primary one — this is where multilingual migrations most often lose traffic.
- Do tax rules transfer?
- No. VAT treatment per country, rules for business customers and any exemptions are rebuilt in the new platform's own configuration, and this is worth testing against real orders per market before launch rather than trusting the setup screen.
- Is multi-currency straightforward?
- It is well supported, but the details matter. Whether prices are converted automatically or set per market, how rounding behaves and which currency a customer sees by default all affect how the shop reads to buyers, and the defaults are not always what a European merchant would choose.
- Do you work with businesses across Cheshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North West, including Chester and the surrounding Cheshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Chester businesses do you usually work with?
- Compliance-heavy systems for financial services firms, and cross-border trading setups for businesses working into Wales. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Tourism & Heritage, Retail, Professional Services and Agriculture.
- Do you cover the areas around Chester?
- Yes — we work throughout North West, including Liverpool, Manchester, Wrexham. Chester is an urban area of roughly 120,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cheshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
