Many eCommerce owners start on PrestaShop, and for years, everything runs smoothly. However, at some point, the system that was supposed to be a support starts to require more and more modules and technical team attention. Magento 2 is a framework designed with scaling and complex processes in mind, where architecture becomes a natural element of the system.
Why do companies decide to migrate from PrestaShop?
- The system stops handling operational complexity
- The store needs increasingly complex integrations with ERP or WMS
- PrestaShop becomes inefficient when managing multiple store versions
Stable architecture
Migration from PrestaShop is an architectural project. We focus on functionality analysis to identify the 20% that actually generates 80% of conversions. We use this process to organize data, standardize attributes, and improve the efficiency of administrative processes.
B2B Expert Knowledge
We implement advanced B2B logic on the foundation of Magento Open Source, supplementing the system with features missing from the standard version. We use our own proven modules, such as multi-level order approval, credit limits, or company structures.
Scaling Standards
All extensions are built based on Magento 2 standards, protecting clients from vendor-lock. We use a modern technology stack, including Redis and Varnish, ensuring smooth handling of high traffic.
Migration from PrestaShop to Magento - regain control over growth
A well-designed migration is both an engine change and a moment to fix architectural errors that have accumulated in your current system over the years. Instead of copying limitations, we build a foundation for real business scaling.
The biggest mistake is trying to transfer all PrestaShop functions 1:1. We analyze which 20% of functionalities generate 80% of your conversions, eliminating unnecessary "historical overhead" of modules.
We use migration as a moment for a thorough reorganization of product attributes, category structures, and integrations.
For us, migration is also a technical SEO project. Thanks to precise URL mapping and redirection control, we protect years of your work on Google visibility.
In PrestaShop, business logic often relies on many interdependent modules that are hard to control. In Magento, complex processes become a natural part of the system architecture, not a "patch" on the engine.
We design the system so that your team stops "fighting the system" and wasting time manually correcting errors in the admin panel.
If your business operates in a B2B model, migration allows for the implementation of advanced mechanisms (e.g., credit limits, multi-level approval) that PrestaShop is unable to handle stably.

Migration costs and schedule from PrestaShop to Magento 2
Transitioning from PrestaShop to Magento 2 is rarely just a decision about platform change; it is most often an answer to the question of whether current technology is keeping up with your business ambition. At Advox, we focus on transparency and a reliable technical assessment to prepare a migration plan according to business needs.
When does migration from PrestaShop to Magento 2 make business sense?
The decision to change becomes rational when the operational complexity of your eCommerce grows, not just the number of products. A signal for change is the need for individual price lists, support for multiple markets, specific discount policies, and advanced integrations with ERP or WMS systems. In such a scenario, PrestaShop often stops being flexible, becoming a set of interdependent modules that are difficult to control.
How much does migration from PrestaShop to Magento 2 cost?
The investment cost depends directly on the scale of your business, the number of necessary integrations, and the degree of process complexity. For medium-sized online store projects, the migration cost starts at 250,000 PLN. For extensive B2B platforms with many dedicated solutions, the price increases accordingly to the scope of design and development work.
How long does migration from PrestaShop to Magento 2 take?
Project completion time for medium stores is usually several months. For very complex systems, the schedule is determined individually to account for all specific architectural requirements.
And when you need simple answers to important questions…
The image of Magento as an expensive and slow behemoth is a myth from several years ago. Thanks to the modern Hyvä frontend, the presentation layer has been significantly simplified, which reduces the amount of code and speeds up development, thereby lowering maintenance costs. Additionally, a mature technology stack, including solutions such as Redis and Varnish, allows for handling very high traffic without a sharp increase in infrastructure costs.
The most serious mistake is trying to transfer all functionalities from the old store 1:1. A properly designed process should start with an analysis of which functions actually generate value and which are merely unnecessary overhead. It often turns out that 20% of functionalities are responsible for 80% of conversions, and migration is the perfect moment to organize data and simplify processes.
The fear of losing organic traffic is justified, as implementation errors can destroy years of SEO work. That is why we treat migration as a technical SEO project, which includes precise URL mapping, strict redirection control, and post-deployment monitoring. A reliably conducted process often results in increased visibility due to improved performance and site structure organization.
Duration and cost depend on the scale and complexity of processes; however, for medium-sized stores, projects usually last several months. The investment in migration starts at 250,000 PLN, and for extensive B2B systems with numerous integrations, the schedule and price increase accordingly to the scope of work. However, it is an investment in architecture that is meant to serve development for years to come.
We recommend verifying needs technically rather than just from a marketing perspective. Instead of a standard offer, we propose a diagnostic meeting with an architect, during which we analyze the bottlenecks of the current system, the scale of integrations, and the real profitability of migration.
