PrestaShop development
Custom development for stores where an off-the-shelf module is not enough, or solves the problem the wrong way.
Types of work
Projects start from a problem, not from a choice of technology.
Custom modules
A module built for your own process, for cases where an off-the-shelf extension does not solve the problem or solves it the wrong way.
Further development of a live store
Changes and fixes to a store already in production, made so that the ability to upgrade PrestaShop is preserved.
Theme and interface changes
Adjustments to the checkout flow and product pages. The emphasis is on how well it works and how fast it loads, not on a visual redesign.
Technical investigation
Finding the cause when something does not behave as expected: performance, errors, or how a third-party module interacts with the rest of the store.
When the way you operate is specific to your business
Some work is not a new feature but fitting an existing process to how the company actually works.
Store-specific processes
Changes to order handling, pricing or product data maintenance when the way your business operates differs from the default.
Tools for the people running the store
Views and actions in the back office when the standard screens do not show what daily work actually needs.
Scheduled background processes
Recurring jobs for file handling, checks and summaries, so the same task is not repeated manually every week.
Company-specific internal tools
We also build internal tools and automation for specific companies where the requirement sits outside the store itself.
If the requirement concerns moving data between the store and another system, it belongs under integrations.
How the work is done
Upgrades stay possible
Core files are not modified. Changes are made as modules, overrides and hooks so that PrestaShop can still be updated.
The work is documented
What was done, why, and what it requires going forward. Without that, a change is a risk for whoever touches the code next.
Scope before build
The problem and its boundaries are established first. Loosely scoped work costs more than the investigation would have.
What this service is not
These limits are stated up front so that neither side spends time on the wrong conversation.
- Not a marketing, content production or search engine optimisation service.
- Not graphic design or brand work.
- Not development for other e-commerce platforms at this stage.
- Not a continuous on-call maintenance service.
How a project starts
- You outline the current situation and what should happen instead.
- We review the environment and scope the problem together.
- Scope and an estimate follow once the problem is defined.
