Search rankings survive the move
A URL inventory and a redirect plan protect the pages that already earn traffic, which is the part a migration most often loses.
PrestaShop to Shopify migration
Move your PrestaShop store into Shopify with product combinations, languages, and module behavior mapped before the switch. Norml prepares the catalog and agreed customer records, rebuilds the storefront, and checks the ordering process against your current business rules. The plan separates transferable records from features that need a new implementation.
A few clients we’ve worked with
What we do
Migrate PrestaShop to Shopify with product-combination mapping, language and module review, customer records, redirects, and checkout checks.
What a migration actually moves.
Moving a site changes more than where the files live. It moves your URLs, your search history and every integration pointed at the old address.
Nothing is left behind
Content, media, forms and integrations are inventoried before anything moves, so the gaps are found before your customers find them.
There is a way back
A backup, verification checks and a rollback approach turn a bad launch into an inconvenience instead of an outage.
What the migration covers
The PrestaShop version, modules, and store configuration determine the transfer route. We inspect representative source records before committing to an importer or destination setup.

Products and combinations
We map product references, combinations, option values, images, price adjustments, and stock into Shopify’s catalog. A combination can carry details beyond a display label. Samples include products with different prices or weights by choice so the destination checkout uses the intended values.
Languages and store configuration
Translations, currencies, domains, and multistore assignments receive an explicit destination plan. We identify which catalog content varies by language or shop and how it should appear in Shopify. Redirects cover changed product, category, and translated content paths.
Customers and order history
We agree which customer and historical-order fields need to move and choose a supported extraction and import route. Source references are retained during reconciliation. Totals, dates, statuses, and customer associations are checked, with historical records kept separate from new fulfillment activity.
Modules and checkout behavior
Shipping modules, discount rules, product customizations, reviews, and accounting connections need individual replacement decisions. We configure the agreed Shopify behavior and test it with representative baskets. Tax settings are implemented using the rules supplied by your business and its advisers.
Client reviews
Read our reviews on Clutch ↗“Norml Studio's professionalism and responsiveness were impressive.”
“They were proactive in suggesting improvements we hadn't considered.”
“They delivered what they said they would, on time.”
“They focused on how to make our daily operations easier, not just on building features for the sake of it.”
“They understood that the app needed to be practical for someone sitting in a car, not just look good on a desktop.”
“Their level of dedication to the success of the project and GoPetZen's business as a whole is unique.”
What we need before the move
Version and operating inventory
We need PrestaShop access, module details, available exports or authorized data access, domain ownership, and the Shopify destination. Share examples of product combinations, discounts, language variants, and unusual delivery requirements.
Billing and account boundaries
Customer passwords, recurring payments, credit balances, and module-owned entitlements are assessed separately. Importing order history does not recreate transactions or authorize charges. We also agree who will handle returns and open orders after the storefront moves.
How we prepare the move
Map combinations and dependencies
Review product types, combination fields, store assignments, languages, and modules. Agree destination equivalents and identify records that should be retained as an archive rather than imported.
Trial the storefront
Import a representative catalog and build its product pages. Check price and weight differences, language content, customer records, and the purchase rules affected by replacement apps.
Reconcile and launch
Test the agreed checkout, shipping, and notification paths with approved methods. Apply final order and stock updates, connect the domain, and verify redirects and public product behavior.

Let's chat
“I've spent 10 years working across development and marketing. I started as a developer, but design, SEO and advertising were already part of the job. That taught me to treat a website as one system: the business, the content, the design and the code have to work together. At Norml, I lead the architecture behind our work and stay involved wherever strategy, design, development and search meet.”

Questions about the migration
How are product combinations handled?
We map the source option values and combination-specific references, prices, weight, and stock to the destination product model. A sample import confirms that each choice produces the intended purchase and fulfillment data.
Can languages and modules move?
Translated content can be included after its fields and URLs are inventoried. Modules require a separate behavior and data review. We agree the Shopify implementation rather than assuming a PrestaShop module has a direct equivalent.
Can every historic transaction be recreated?
We agree a supported order-history scope and reconcile imported records. Payment transactions, refunds, invoices, and accounting records may remain in their original systems or an archive. Their treatment is decided independently from the catalog transfer.
Share your current website, the features you rely on, and what needs to change. We will review the Shopify requirements and identify the content, rebuild work, and launch checks your move needs.
