prestoh Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hello, I'm starting a new store which hopefully will be in production by the end of February 2017.. The store is really small, it will start with only 2 products and raise to max 10. I'd like to start with prestashop version 1.7. The only problem I've seen is the lack of paypal, but I have already found a paid module. I also have a 1.7 compatible theme. Is 1.7 ready for production for such a small shop? Thank you!

shokinro Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I think the latest version of PrestaShop 1.7.0.4 is a stable version, you can start from this version, it should not be problem. We also provide paid commercial Paypal module - ready for 1.7x, which could be used in any country as long as the country has Paypal service. The module has many other features like express checkout, recurring checkout and many more, you can see details here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I think that it is not worth to use 1.7.x currently. in my opinion 1.7 is a crap and its not only mine opinion, read dev forums, almost all of developers here think the same as I. a sad story, unfortunately.

Please keep in mind that my store will start with only 2 products and will grow to max 10 Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseantgv Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 1.6. A mature project with lot of free (and paid) resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadie Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Personally I do not recommend until the middle of the year (August / September 2017) to work with Prestashop 1.7, if it is to take a project right now. Sorry for my English, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hi, I would not recommend to use 1.7 if you need support from the cummunity. I'm still stick to 1.6 and I don't read 1.7 topics. 1.7 is not stable yet in my opinion, so I don't want to loose time fixing bugs. i think exactly the same +1 to you my friend :-) its great to see that community has also mixed feelings about ps 1.7 maybe this will point PS team the right direction in development process of future releases 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shokinro Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I agree with most developers that 1.7 is not as mature as latest version of 1.6x. But I am not against to use it for a small shop like prestoh's one. 1.7 is really big pain to developers from prio-version compatibility, extensibility and other aspects. We should use it and report issues and problem to help prestashop team to go right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave L Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hi I have been using Prestashop for quite a few years now mainly building stores for friends and colleagues for pocket money as a hobby. I have very recently built a store for myself (over christmas period). V1.7 was available but I opted to go with the V1.6.1.10 and a 'known' stable release' with lots of support available on these forums. With such a few products there would be more reason to go with a 1.6+ version which continues to get support for another two years. When 1.7 is no longer in it's infancy and a proven version it would be very quick and easy to make a fresh install and re-load your products. For now V1.1.6.10 is the way to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prestoh Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Your comments + This post + Lack of official paypal module for 1.7 + No significant improvement for the user = starting on 1.6.1.11 Thank you everybody PS. Since it will be a single-product shop, I've started a discussion here about the template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetway Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hi, I also would not recommend 1.7. If you want to run into a lot of issues then feel free to do so. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadie Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hi, I would not work with version 1.7 today. Many improvements are included, but I still see it green the 1.7 Prestashop (1.7.1 also)Better to have a little patience and wait.(It's just a personal opinion)Sorry for my English, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c64girl Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Use 1.6 because 1.7 is crap and there is allot of bugs there. In 1.6 if You will face some problems You can search forum for answers and fix fast. 1.7 is new so new bugs are not reported yet or fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag_0110 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi, I have used new version of prestashop 1.7.2.2 for my client project. I have to use 5 step standard checkout process. How can i enable it in 1.7.2.2. We have option named "Order Process" in previous version 1.6 to enable it. Is this option removed from latest version? If yes, How can i change one page checkout to 5 step checkout.?

bellini13 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 1.7 is recommended. Prestashop 1.7.1 was released and it's stable Thats is probably the worst recommendation I've seen. PS v1.6 is the only stable production ready version. PS v1.7 are for guinea pigs that would like to test the software for Prestashop for free.
