Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I move from PrestaShop to OpenCart?
Common reasons include wanting a simpler admin panel, reducing hosting costs, needing built-in multi-store support, or accessing OpenCart broader extension marketplace. OpenCart is generally lighter and easier to manage for straightforward e-commerce needs.
How are PrestaShop combinations handled in OpenCart?
PrestaShop combinations (attribute groups with specific SKUs and pricing) are converted to OpenCart product options. The pricing, stock levels, and images for each combination are mapped to the equivalent OpenCart option values.
Will my store be down during migration?
The actual downtime during the DNS switch is typically 1-4 hours. We perform all migration work on a staging server first, so the production switch is quick. We schedule it during your lowest traffic period.
Can you replicate my PrestaShop theme design in OpenCart?
We can set up an OpenCart theme that closely matches your PrestaShop design. While an exact replica requires custom theme development, we can achieve a very similar look and feel using available OpenCart themes with customization.
What about my PrestaShop modules?
We map each PrestaShop module to an OpenCart equivalent. Most common features have OpenCart counterparts. If a specific feature is not available, we can develop a custom OpenCart extension to fill the gap.
