LadyLionheart Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hi guys, I'm new to prestashop and moving over from oscommerce. My webshop is terribly outdated and needs renewing and prestashop seems like a good fit. I've now installed 1.7 to play around with a bit and I really like all of the options and how versatile it is. However my payment provider (multisafepay) does not have a module out yet for 1.7, and this is a serious problem. However I also don't want to build a site in 1.6 if I can not easily convert it later, and be stuck with the same problem I have now, to have to build another webshop. Also it seems Prestashop theme maker is a handy tool, can anyone tell me if it is worth the money? I don't need a really 'busy' looking webshop. And themes seem to be kind of expensive, even though often they only seem to change the main page of the webshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnerberg Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Highly recommended PS 1.6.x PS 1.7 has no enought support and it isnt stable yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maokun55 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I installed 1.7.0.4 a few days ago and started to build the site. but just like you, my payment provider doesn't have a module for 1.7. Furthermore even paypal official module is not ready yet. That's why I decided to go for 1.6.1.1. and no regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't update with 1click update from 1.6 to 1.7. 1.6 is made with bootstrap, 1.7 is symphony. Are different. I know 1.6 will have updates till 2018. If you can't use payment for your website for 1.7, my oppinion is to set 1.6. Otherwise, to not have to rebuild it after 2 years, put 1.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellini13 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Definitely go with 1.6 for any new production site. Play with 1.7 as a demo or test site, but do not use it in a production mode. This is the same advice I have given any merchant since PS v1.4. PS has a long history of releasing 'stable' immature versions of software, and expect merchants to be their guinea pigs to test it As far as your payment module, feel free to contact me, as I may be able to upgrade your module to support PS v1.7. This way you can at least test 1.7 and be ready with your module when 1.7 is ready to be used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnerberg Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Query, is there any way to convert from PS1.3 to 1.7 ? I recomended you to build whole new site. Also it is much better to build it in 1.6.11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peranders Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 So the general advice is to wait some time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
