The PrestaShop Development Company USA, UK & Australia Trust
PrestaShop is the eCommerce platform of choice for over 300,000 online stores worldwide — particularly in France, Spain, Latin America and increasingly in the UK, USA and Australia. Its strengths are genuine: multi-language and multi-currency natively (without the plugins WooCommerce requires), no transaction fees (unlike Shopify), a large module ecosystem and full self-hosted control over your store data and infrastructure.
CV Infotech has been building and maintaining PrestaShop stores since PrestaShop 1.5. Our PrestaShop developers in Gurugram, India have delivered over 60 PrestaShop projects — custom themes, custom modules, multi-store configurations and migrations from OpenCart, WooCommerce, Magento and legacy custom PHP eCommerce platforms. We write clean, hook-based PHP that follows PrestaShop's architecture rather than core overrides that break on every upgrade.
Whether you need a custom PrestaShop theme, a custom PrestaShop module, a migration to or from PrestaShop, or honest advice on whether PrestaShop is the right platform for your situation, we are the team to call.
Hook-Based Development — No Core Overrides
We build custom PrestaShop modules using PrestaShop's hook system and override mechanism correctly — not by modifying core files that break on every PrestaShop upgrade. Your customisations survive version upgrades because they follow the architecture.
PrestaShop 8 — PHP 8.2 As Standard
All new PrestaShop projects use PrestaShop 8 on PHP 8.2. The Symfony-based back-office, modern PHP features, improved performance and security improvements of PS8 — not PrestaShop 1.7 with a 1.7 codebase.
Migration Specialists — Zero Rankings Lost
We have migrated 60+ stores to and from PrestaShop. Full 301 redirect mapping, meta data preservation and Google Search Console re-submission are standard on every migration. No client has lost their Google rankings on a CV Infotech PrestaShop migration.
Fixed Price — No Surprises
Every PrestaShop project starts with a detailed fixed-price proposal. No hourly billing, no scope creep invoices. The price we quote is the price you pay.
PrestaShop Development Services We Offer
Custom themes, custom modules, migrations, performance optimisation and PrestaShop upgrades — the full PrestaShop service stack.

Most PrestaShop performance projects see 50–70% improvement in page load times.
PrestaShop Upgrade (1.6/1.7 to PS8)

PrestaShop Since v1.5
Deep PrestaShop experience across every major version. Hook system, override architecture, module development — the knowledge that comes from years of PrestaShop production work, not a recent tutorial.
Zero Ranking Loss on Migration
60+ migrations completed to and from PrestaShop. Full 301 redirect mapping, meta data preservation and GSC re-submission on every migration. No client has lost rankings.
Upgrade-Safe Customisation
Hook-based modules and proper overrides — not core file modifications that break on every PrestaShop update. Your customisations survive version upgrades.
Mollie & European Payments
PrestaShop's strength is European multi-currency and multi-language. We integrate Mollie (iDEAL, SEPA, Bancontact) and other European gateways that make PrestaShop the right choice for EU merchants.
Technologies We Use on Every PrestaShop Project
PrestaShop 8, PHP 8.2, Smarty, Symfony back-office, Redis cache and proper module architecture — not template-shop themes and copy-paste modules.
PrestaShop 8
PlatformPrestaShop 8 — the current major version. Symfony 4.4 framework under the back-office, improved performance, PHP 8.1/8.2 support and modern admin interface. We build on PS8 for all new PrestaShop projects.
PHP 8.2
LanguagePrestaShop 8 requires PHP 8.1+. We use PHP 8.2 with modern OOP patterns, strict types and PSR coding standards on all PrestaShop module and theme development.
Smarty
TemplatesPrestaShop's default templating engine. Smarty templates for front-end theme development — layouts, templates, translations and theme module overrides. Clean separation of logic and presentation.
Symfony
Back-officePrestaShop 8's back-office is built on Symfony. Custom back-office pages, controllers, forms and services follow Symfony patterns — dependency injection, forms and event subscribers.
Redis / Memcached
CachePrestaShop cache layer for high-traffic stores. Redis or Memcached for object cache and session storage. Dramatically reduces database load on PrestaShop catalogue queries.
MySQL
DatabasePrestaShop's database. Query optimisation, proper indexing for large product catalogues, database cleanup and performance profiling with PrestaShop's built-in profiler.
Stripe / Mollie
PaymentsStripe for global card payments and Mollie for European payment methods (iDEAL, Bancontact, SEPA, Klarna) — the two most common payment gateway integrations for PrestaShop stores.
PrestaShop CLI
Dev ToolsPrestaShop CLI and Composer for module management, dependency installation, cache clearing, database schema operations and automated deployment scripts.
When PrestaShop Is the Right Choice
PrestaShop makes the most sense when your eCommerce requirements include: multi-language and multi-currency natively without plugins (PrestaShop handles this better than WooCommerce), no transaction fees on sales (unlike Shopify), European payment method support (Mollie, iDEAL, Bancontact, SEPA) or self-hosted control over your store data for compliance reasons.
PrestaShop is probably not the right choice if you want a managed hosting solution without server management overhead (that is Shopify), if you are already on WordPress and want eCommerce (that is WooCommerce), or if you need enterprise-scale B2B catalogue management with ERP integration (that is typically Magento 2).
We build all four — PrestaShop, Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento. We have no platform preference and will give you an honest recommendation for your specific requirements during a free 15-minute consultation.

How We Build Your PrestaShop Store
Audit or architecture first. Hook-based modules. Staging from day one. Zero ranking loss on migrations.
PrestaShop Audit & Architecture
Week 1For new stores: full architecture design — multi-store structure, module selection strategy, payment gateway plan, B2B requirements and hosting specification. For existing stores: comprehensive audit using PrestaShop's profiler — slow queries, problematic modules, cache configuration, PHP version and hosting performance. For migrations: crawl the source platform and map every URL to its PrestaShop equivalent before writing a line of code.
Theme & Module Development
Weeks 2–8+ (scope-dependent)Custom Smarty theme development or custom module development on a staging PrestaShop installation. Weekly staging deployments — you test the real store each sprint. Modules developed following PrestaShop coding standards with hook-based integration rather than core file overrides wherever possible.
Payment, Shipping & Integration
Parallel from Week 2Payment gateway integration (Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, regional gateways), shipping carrier configuration (UPS, FedEx, DHL, Royal Mail, custom rules), tax configuration per country or region and ERP or warehouse management system synchronisation for larger deployments.
QA, Performance & SEO
Final 1–2 WeeksCross-browser and device QA. PrestaShop performance optimisation — cache configuration, module audit, image optimisation and Core Web Vitals measurement. SEO audit: PrestaShop friendly URLs, meta tags, canonical tags, structured data (Product, Offer, BreadcrumbList) and XML sitemap validation.
Launch & Post-Launch Support
30 days post-launch freeDNS migration, store publishing, payment gateway live-mode confirmation, Google Search Console submission and 30-day post-launch monitoring. 301 redirect verification for migrations. Full source code and documentation handover. Ongoing maintenance retainer options available.
