I’m ready to move my existing Prestashop store to the latest stable version and need an expert who can handle the full upgrade end-to-end without disrupting sales. The site currently runs on an older release which is old 1.7.8.7 and includes several pieces of custom code, so preserving those tweaks is critical. We want to know first-hand if it's possible to update to the latest version without losing information or to a better version since we are having problems with velocity and performance of our website Your mission: • Take a full backup, then upgrade the Prestashop core to the newest official release or one of the latest versions • Re-apply or refactor all existing customizations so the storefront, admin, and any bespoke modules keep working exactly as before. • Test every key flow—product browsing, cart, checkout, emails—on both desktop and mobile, fixing any version-related issues you encounter. • Verify that installed modules remain compatible; suggest replacements or updates where needed. • Provide a concise post-upgrade report outlining what was changed, known limitations (if any), and rollback instructions. Zero downtime or a clearly communicated maintenance window is preferred. If you’ve completed similar version jumps and troubleshooting for customized Prestashop stores, I’d like to see your approach and timeline. Our website is [login to view URL]

Hi, I've handled several PrestaShop 1.7.x to 8.x upgrades for stores with heavy customizations, so I understand exactly what's at stake—preserving your custom code, maintaining data integrity, and solving those performance issues you're experiencing on yohzoo.com. My approach starts with a full backup and staging clone, where I'll audit every custom module, theme override, and code tweak before touching the live site. I'll upgrade the core, refactor incompatible customizations, test all critical flows (catalog, cart, checkout, emails) across devices, and verify module compatibility—replacing or updating anything that breaks. You'll get a detailed post-upgrade report with rollback instructions, and I can coordinate a minimal maintenance window to ensure zero sales disruption. I'm available to start immediately.

Hello, I see you need a careful Prestashop core upgrade that preserves customizations and maintains sales continuity. The main engineering risk here is orchestrating the upgrade and refactoring custom modules without disrupting live operations or losing data. I usually structure such upgrades by first conducting a thorough codebase audit and backup, followed by iterative refactoring in isolated branches. I’ve built several production systems involving custom feature integration and e-commerce checkout logic that required careful handling of legacy code and seamless user experience. The Custom Feature Development & Integration project is particularly relevant, where I audited and enhanced bespoke code while maintaining stability. I recommend separating the upgrade into phases: core upgrade, module compatibility checks, and UI/UX flow validation to isolate issues and minimize risk. While this project does not involve LLMs, my approach to system reliability includes rigorous testing and rollback strategies to ensure confidence in production deployments. Systems like these must be designed for long-term maintainability and smooth operation under real user load. I can start by outlining a detailed upgrade and testing plan, mapping out critical customizations, and reviewing compatibility of key modules. Thanks, Hercules

Hi, As per my understanding: You want to upgrade your customized Prestashop store from version 1.7.8.7 to the latest stable and performance-optimized release while preserving all products, orders, customer data, SEO structure, and custom-developed functionality. The main concern is ensuring compatibility, maintaining storefront/admin behavior, and improving site speed and stability without disrupting live sales. Implementation approach: I will first create a full staging clone with complete database and file backups before analyzing custom modules, theme overrides, hooks, and third-party integrations. Based on compatibility checks, I will determine whether upgrading directly to the newest Prestashop release or to a more stable intermediate version offers the safest and fastest long-term solution for yohzoo.com. All customizations will be re-applied or refactored where necessary, followed by full regression testing across catalog browsing, checkout, emails, mobile responsiveness, and admin operations. I will also review module compatibility, performance bottlenecks, caching strategy, and database optimization to improve loading speed and overall stability before scheduling production deployment with minimal downtime. A few quick questions: 1. Do you currently have a staging server available for upgrade testing? 2. Approximately how many custom modules or overridden core files exist in the store? 3. Which payment gateways and shipping integrations are currently active?
