PrestaServicePro Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hi, The options are either to do a manual migration (a long, tedious process that requires a good understanding of the internal structure of Prestashop), to try one of the third-party migration tools that exist, or to use the services of someone who dedicate yourself to this and do it to you. My advice, if you decide to do it yourself, is to create a completely clean installation of 1.7 and then migrate the data of installation 1.6 (customers, categories, orders, products, etc.). And put a theme, reinstall all modules and configure everything in the new installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD13 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Thank you for the reply. Once we do the new installation then we need to migrate the data. Data migration process is the manual migration process ? or there is another option for so that our existing data will migrate to new installation. Please let us know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaServicePro Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Once the new installation is done then you need to use third-party migration tools or automated migration service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD13 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Thanks for the response. Are the third party migration tools or automated migration services are free or they are paid? Also please list out the migration tools and migration services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaServicePro Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 All third-party modules and automated service are paid : https://addons.prestashop.com/en/431-data-migration-backup if you have dev skills or dedicated developer then purchase one of the third-party migration tools and carry all your data to the latest version of PS. For automated migration service, you can check our signature or can find an agency which will take care of your migration process from scratch.

RD13 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 So you are telling that there is no way in prestashop to upgrade it into latest vesrion without using the migration tools or automation services.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBW Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Technically you can use (free) 1-click-upgrade module but you will face challenges as architecture changed and most modules and your theme won't be compatible anymore. But at least your data will be there. Never do this on a live shop - first try and document all steps on a test-clon of your shop and ensure you always have recent backups before you do any change in live enviroment.

RD13 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Thank you for the reply. If you use the migration tools we have to add the tool and start the processing from our end or it will automatically start the up gradation process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicmaster Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 There is one simple migration tool: Copy_shopdata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
