Drive Sales after osCommerce to PrestaShop Migration [Showcase]

Small business has filled the world wide web quite long ago and much water has flown under the bridges since first shopping cart was created. Due to this fact, some of the pioneer e-Commerce solutions still power a lot of online stores. But how can they compete with the brand new software that provides more reach functionality? In this article, we’ll discuss why merchants migrate from osCommerce to PrestaShop and show a strong example using the live store of our satisfied customer.

First, lets dive in a history of osCommerce. It is one of the most experienced vendors on today’s e-Commerce market with more than 14 years under the belt. This platform was founded in Germany in March 2000 as an open source software. What does it mean? Every person, who has downloaded a PHP file pack, was able to change the source code due to the business requirements. But nowadays, the structure of this shopping cart is too complicated and buggy, making store owners look for alternatives.

From the other side, let’s take a closer look at PrestaShop. This platform was created in 2008, and has become very popular thanks to the open source core code and more than rich set of features. In a row with robust functionality, it also offers unlimited design opportunities, pre-built templates and dozens of extensions.

So, merchants, who currently use osCommerce, usually decide to migrate to PrestaShop. That is exactly the same as one of our customers did. Josué Sánchez has made a decision to bring new look and features to his online retailer. Therefore, here is osCommerce store before migration:
