copy of Prestashop Migration Service 1.6 to 1.7.x

Prestashop store migration service from version 1.6.x to the latest version 1.7.x. Remember that the Prestashop 1.6 version will not be supported and updated soon. This increases the danger of breaking into the store.

Prestashop version 1.6 has been in existence since 2013. During the first three years it underwent significant changes and rapid development. At the end of 2016, PrestaShop 1.7 gave way. Changes that the PrestaShop team made in them were mainly related to the repair of minor bugs, not the development of new functions and increasing security. Updates of version 1.6 will be available until October 2018, after which the Prestashop team will focus solely on the development of the latest version 1.7.

You need to know that the upgrade of Prestashop from version 1.6 to the newest 1.7 is to put the store completely over, because version 1.7 is based on the new technological solution that is the Symfony Framework. For this reason, you can not update the store easily and quickly. The graphic template from version 1.6 is not compatible with version 1.7 and you have to adapt or buy a new one. In addition, you need to check whether previously used modules are also compatible with version 1.7. Typically, the developers of modules do free module updates and there should be no problems with them.
