Update PrestaShop

PrestaShop update

Older PrestaShop versions, including 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7, are reaching end of support
PrestaShop 1.6 was developed in 2013 and has since received updates to maintain compatibility.
Maintenance for PrestaShop 1.6 has ended, and support for version 1.7 will end soon.

PrestaShop 8 is the latest version currently supported by PrestaShop and will be updated to remain compatible with the latest PHP versions.

What are the consequences?

– Your current 1.6 or 1.7 online store is no longer secure enough.
– The online store and its admin interface may no longer work fully in your browser.
– A module or feature may stop working, with no update available.
– Performance may be slow.

Benefits of the update

PrestaShop 8 includes the following improvements and new features:

• Improved SEO for category, brand, supplier and content (CMS) pages, helping search engines find them more easily.
• A dynamic preview of product meta tags helps you enter and place them correctly.
• Editing specific prices: there is no longer any need to edit and then delete specific prices for each offer.
• Much shorter load times, with products and orders loading faster.
• A new process makes adding and updating products easier and faster.
• The underlying technology has been rewritten, allowing version 8 to last for years to come.
• The default email templates for customer communications have been updated and refreshed.
• The update can be an opportunity to refresh an outdated online store to increase sales.
