This is my first use of Cart2Cart migration process and this company is awesome! My company managed lots of migration manually before trying C2C and actually we love them. Support is the best ever (thank all!) and service is A +++.
Review source
Amazing level of patience and professionalism from Cart2Cart working with our team to perform a very difficult import for a client that has been start and stop for over 2 years!! Their team gets back to questions with technical fixes within 24 hours in most cases and we are finally wrapping it up! Thank you for all you’ve done to help get this project to completion.

I can't praise the Cart2Cart team enough. They really took care to make sure our very large migration was a success. I would highly recommend them!
Review source
Absolute BEST! Very inexpensive (was quoted $1500 from another design company, compared to only $140), lightning fast speed with their responses, knowledgeable, and of course saved me a ton of quality time I don’t have. Will be using them again for an additional website.

Used Cart2Cart to migrate https://www.tesland.com. Ideal saves you a ton of time. Even have the option to do it multiple times so you can set up the new site with the correct data in it. And then before you go live with the new site, you can import the latest data again.

PrestaShop Monthly Pulse: Reversing the Tide Through Architectural Modernization
This month’s analysis of PrestaShop reveals a platform successfully navigating a pivotal transition from legacy stability to modern performance. After a period of consolidation, the ecosystem is showing renewed vitality, driven by the strategic rollout of version 9.1. By prioritizing a headless-ready architecture and deep PHP 8.5 compatibility, PrestaShop is positioning itself as the premier open-source refuge for European merchants seeking to escape the rising costs of proprietary SaaS solutions. This is not just a maintenance cycle; it is a fundamental re-engineering of the platform’s value proposition for a more technical, performance-conscious commerce era.
Industry Footprint and Market Stabilization
PrestaShop has reached a significant turning point in its market trajectory. After nearly four years of gradual decline, the platform recorded a 3.1 percent quarter-over-quarter growth in live stores during early 2026, bringing the global total to approximately 165,485 active installations. While its global market share sits at roughly 0.75 percent, this figure belies its dominance in specific sectors; PrestaShop remains a titan in the Home and Garden (13.9%) and Apparel (13.4%) categories. This stabilization suggests that the platform's core audience of mid-market European retailers has found renewed confidence in the project’s roadmap under the Fortidia umbrella.
Infrastructure Resilience and Performance Velocity
The release of PrestaShop 9.1 has set a new benchmark for open-source performance. By integrating Symfony 6.4 LTS and supporting PHP 8.5, the platform has achieved a more streamlined execution environment that directly impacts Core Web Vitals. For merchants, this technical debt reduction translates into faster back-office operations and reduced server overhead. This structural modernization is critical for conversion optimization, as it allows complex multi-variant stores to maintain high-speed interactions without the expensive infrastructure traditionally required by enterprise-grade commerce engines.
Developer Empowerment and API Maturity
The developer ecosystem has seen a substantial upgrade with the finalized release of the PrestaShop MCP Server. This move toward standardized Model Context Protocol support allows for more sophisticated AI-driven workflow automation and native n8n compatibility. By offering more robust Token and No-Auth authentication modes, PrestaShop is making it significantly easier for third-party developers to build reliable integrations. This focus on "developer experience" is a strategic move to ensure the platform remains the go-to choice for bespoke commerce builds that require more flexibility than a standard app store can provide.
Front-End Innovation: The Hummingbird 2.0 Shift
The introduction of the Hummingbird 2.0 default theme represents a flagship shift in how PrestaShop approaches the end-user experience. Designed as a mobile-first, accessible-by-default framework, it allows merchants to meet stringent European Accessibility Act (EAA) requirements out of the box. This solves a major compliance headache for retailers while providing a clean, modern architectural starting point that reduces front-end development time by up to 40 percent. It moves the platform away from its "utility" roots toward a more design-centric commerce solution.
Trust Protocols and Proactive Security
Security remains a cornerstone of the PrestaShop narrative this month, highlighted by the rapid deployment of security patches for the 8.2 and 9.1 branches. The platform has introduced a more granular security options page, allowing administrators to enforce strict password complexity and expiration policies. Furthermore, the promotion of the PrestaShop Security Suite, which facilitates native two-factor authentication (2FA) via TOTP apps, signals a commitment to enterprise-grade protection. For high-volume merchants, these features are not just optional extras but essential infrastructure for maintaining consumer trust in an increasingly hostile digital landscape.
Global Reach and Regional Dominance
PrestaShop continues to leverage its status as the "localized champion" of e-commerce, with over 50 percent of its stores concentrated in France, Spain, the United States, and Italy. The platform’s maturity in handling complex European tax modules and multi-currency configurations remains its primary competitive advantage against US-centric SaaS competitors. The recent appointment of strategic growth leadership focused on market expansion underscores a renewed push to export this European success model into emerging markets that value data sovereignty and open-source flexibility.
Strategic Adoption: The Case of ALI Bebé
The ongoing success of major retailers like ALI Bebé, which manages over 12,000 active products on the platform, serves as a powerful case study for PrestaShop’s scalability. By achieving annual traffic growth of up to 41 percent on the platform, such brands demonstrate that PrestaShop is no longer just for small boutiques but is a viable enterprise-ready engine. Brands are choosing PrestaShop because it offers the "Goldilocks" zone of e-commerce: the power of an enterprise solution with the cost-efficiency and data ownership of an open-source project, effectively shielding them from the "SaaS tax" seen elsewhere in the industry.
