PrestaShop maintenance

PrestaShop maintenance by someone who uses it every day.

In short

WebIntacta's PrestaShop maintenance, done remotely for stores worldwide, costs €69/month, excluding VAT, with no long-term contract. It includes module updates with a backup first, a daily file integrity check with the connector, a test purchase every month, one hour of technical work and the cleanup if the store gets infected (from your third month on the plan). I do it myself, Jose Soriano: I work with PrestaShop every day and have passed the official PrestaShop course and exam.

I work with PrestaShop every day and I've passed the official course and exam. I know which modules cause trouble when you update them, where to look when the cart stops working and which overrides are best left alone.

How I work

Step by step.

  1. STEP 01

    Initial review

    I install the connector, take an inventory of modules and overrides and tell you what's pending.

  2. STEP 02

    Catching up

    I update the urgent things first, with a backup, outside your busiest sales hours.

  3. STEP 03

    Ongoing monitoring

    Integrity, scans and downtime, every day. Plus the monthly test purchase.

PrestaShop support: what the monthly hour covers

The Online store plan includes one hour of technical work a month, on top of the updates and the monitoring. It's for the small things that always stay pending in a store:

  • Setting up or adjusting a module (carriers, payments, invoicing, SEO)
  • Fixing an error that appears after updating a module or the theme
  • Small changes to .tpl templates, fixed texts or translations
  • Reviewing a troublesome override or a conflict between two modules
  • Back-office questions: specific prices, cart rules, order statuses

It doesn't cover new development, design changes, catalog imports or major version migrations: I quote those separately, at a fixed price. If a task won't fit in the hour, I tell you before I start. You send it as a ticket from support, and everything stays in writing.

Maintaining PrestaShop 1.6, 1.7, 8 and 9: what changes with each version

VersionSupported PHPWhat it means for maintenance
1.6Doesn't run on PHP 8No patches from the project. I maintain what can be maintained (modules, integrity, monitoring) and suggest how to migrate.
1.7.87.1 to 7.4 (7.4 recommended)A branch tied to PHP versions that are no longer supported. Modules kept up to date, and plan the move.
8.0, 8.1 and 8.27.2 to 8.1 (8.1 recommended)Minor updates included. PHP 8.1 no longer gets security patches: that's the main reason to think about 9.
9.0 and 9.18.1 to 8.4 (9.0) or to 8.5 (9.1)The current branch. More modules and themes to adapt if you're coming from 1.7; the monthly maintenance is the same.

PHP versions according to PrestaShop's official technical documentation (devdocs.prestashop-project.org), checked on October 13, 2026.

Upgrading from PrestaShop 1.7 to 8 or 9

Within the same version (for example, from 8.1.x to the latest 8.1), security updates are part of the maintenance: I apply them with a backup first and test the cart. Jumping from 1.7 to 8, or from 8 to 9, is something else: PHP requirements, modules and themes change, and overrides usually need adapting. That's a separate project, with a fixed quote once I've seen the store.

What to check before the jump and in what order, in the guide to upgrading PrestaShop. If you want to know which of your modules have published vulnerabilities, see vulnerable PrestaShop modules.

Questions

What people usually ask me.

How much does PrestaShop store maintenance cost?

€69/month ($59/month outside the EU), excluding VAT, with no long-term contract. With the Priority add-on, +€25/month on top.

Do you migrate PrestaShop 1.6 or 1.7 to 8 or 9?

A migration isn't part of the maintenance: it's a separate project I quote once I've seen the store. In the meantime, the maintenance keeps your current version as safe as it can be.

What about paid modules or modules bought on PrestaShop Addons?

I update them with your license. If a module is no longer supported by its author and has published vulnerabilities, I suggest how to replace it.
