Car parts for seven countries from one back office
A car parts retailer ran separate country shops on an old PrestaShop 1.6. We moved them to a single PrestaShop 8 installation on a dedicated server – each country has its own domain, language, currency, VAT and carriers, while stock and back office are shared.
- 7 countries
- 6 languages
- 4 currencies
- Migration of customers, orders and invoices country by country, including tens of thousands of historical orders
- Customers log in with their original passwords after the move
- A custom tool that kept products and stock in sync between the old and new systems during the transition
- One unified checkout for all countries and local carriers
- 371 old URLs redirected so the shops keep their search rankings
- Mailboxes moved to the dedicated server
- The home page loads 0.6 MB of images instead of the original 6.3 MB
