How to upgrade from 1.6 to 1.7

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I'm working on upgrading a PrestaShop site from version 1.6 to 1.7. I'm a bit unsure about the best approach. I've researched upgrade methods, but I'm looking for advice from those who have experience with this. Is a direct upgrade feasible and reliable? Or would it be safer to start with a clean 1.7 installation and use a data migration module? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to upgrade. I can suggest to make a clean installation. Migrate the data. Instead of 1.7, do the 8.2 version.

Direct Upgrade using 1-Click Upgrade module
This is faster but can be risky, especially if you have custom themes or third-party modules that might not be compatible.
It's worth testing on a staging environment first, and you might still need to manually fix some broken elements afterward.

Clean 1.7 Install + Data Migration Module:
Safer, especially for heavily customized stores.
You install PrestaShop 1.7 fresh, then use a migration module (like "MigrationPro"  etc) to transfer products, customers, orders, etc.
This avoids theme/module compatibility issues but requires reconfiguring modules and the theme.
