PrestaShop Development Services
We build on PrestaShop for merchants who want ownership and European commerce depth: custom modules, themed stores, and performance engineering, with full source-code ownership.
insight
What building on prestaShop requires
PrestaShop gives merchants open-source ownership with strong European commerce defaults: VAT handling, multi-language, and payment ecosystems that match continental buying habits. Its discipline requirement is the same as any open platform: curated modules, versioned deployments, and upgrade-safe customisation.
We build custom modules on its documented architecture, engineer performance against real catalogue scale, and keep upgrade paths walkable. For platform selection context, see our eCommerce app development page.

What every engagement includes
Every PrestaShop project ships with the following, agreed in writing before the first sprint begins.
Discovery workshop
A structured workshop maps your goals, users, and constraints into a scoped PrestaShop roadmap with a fixed written quote before any sprint starts.
Named senior team
You get named, senior engineers with CVs you can review, not a rotating bench. The people in the kickoff are the people who ship.
Sprint demos every two weeks
Working builds are demoed live each cycle with CI running on every merge, so progress is visible in software, not slideware.
100% source-code ownership
All PrestaShop source, configurations, designs, and documentation transfer to you on delivery with no licensing strings or vendor lock-in.
60 days of post-launch support
Engineering time is on standby for two months after go-live to triage defects, tune performance, and stabilise the release at no extra cost.
12 months of free updates
Compatibility updates, security patches, and platform upgrades ship free for a full year after handover.

How a PrestaShop Project Runs
Six stages, each with a sign-off gate before the next begins.
- 01
Discovery
We map your store goals, users, and constraints in a structured workshop, ending in a fixed written quote and an architecture risk list.
✓ step 01 complete - 02
Solution design
The PrestaShop architecture, integrations, and delivery plan are designed and reviewed before build work starts, so scaling later is not a rewrite.
✓ step 02 complete - 03
Foundation sprint
Repositories, CI, environments, and a walking skeleton are set up first. Something real runs on a staging URL before feature sprints begin.
✓ step 03 complete - 04
Sprint delivery
Two-week sprints with live demos every cycle. PrestaShop work is reviewed, tested, and merged continuously, so scope surprises surface early.
✓ step 04 complete - 05
Hardening and launch
Performance, security, and accessibility checks run against agreed budgets, followed by a staged store launch with monitoring from hour one.
✓ step 05 complete - 06
Support and handover
60 days of included support, 12 months of free updates, and documentation that lets your internal team own the system with confidence.
✓ step 06 complete
The stack behind our prestaShop builds
Default choices, stated with reasons.
Platform
Current PrestaShop releases with curated module stacks, because every module is a maintenance contract we audit.
Extensibility
Custom modules on documented hooks and the object model, keeping version upgrades walkable rather than destructive.
Performance
Cache configuration, database tuning, and template optimisation measured against real catalogue size, load-tested before peak.
Operations
Staged deployments, tested upgrades, and rehearsed backups, treating the store as production software.
How intelligence flows through the store
What each layer reads, and what it changes.
Product discovery
Personalises search and recommendations from behaviour.
Catalogue, queries, orders
Ranking and recommendation slots
Inventory intelligence
Watches stock and sync health.
Inventory levels, sales velocity
Alerts and sync corrections
Support assistant
Handles order and product questions from store data.
Orders, help content
Support replies and tickets
What's included, standard
The baseline on every PrestaShop engagement. Not an upsell tier, just the floor.
Fixed written quote
The price agreed at discovery is the price you pay, with change handled through explicit scope changes rather than silent drift.
Solution architecture document
System design, data flows, and technology decisions written down so your team can audit and own the result.
Dedicated project manager
One accountable point of contact with real authority over the delivery, not a message relay between time zones.
QA on every build
Automated and manual testing on each PrestaShop release candidate, with defects triaged before anything reaches production.
Security review
A checklist-based security pass covering authentication, data handling, and dependency vulnerabilities before launch.
CI/CD and environments
Pipelines, staging, and preview environments configured from week one, so releases are routine rather than dramatic.
Analytics and monitoring
Instrumentation wired before launch so you can see real user behaviour and system health from day one.
Documentation and handover
Code comments, runbooks, and architecture notes written for your next developer rather than for our convenience.
Upgrade safety net
Staged, tested upgrade procedures with rollback plans, so version updates stop being gambles.
Case studies that speak volume
