Clients interview each developer before they join.
Why hire our PrestaShop developers

Template, CSS and JavaScript changes stay out of the files that updates replace.
Languages, currencies and per-country tax rules set up so every market sees correct prices.
Modules audited, the upgrade run on a staging copy, then checkout, payments and translations tested.

Build a teamWhen to hire PrestaShop developers
PrestaShop upgrades

// override/classes/Cart.php: breaks on upgrade
class Cart extends CartCore
{
public function add($autoDate = true, $nullValues = false)
{
// custom logic
return parent::add($autoDate, $nullValues);
}
}// In a module: survives upgrades
public function hookActionCartSave(array $params): void
{
// custom logic
}There is no single rate for PrestaShop developers. Cost depends on the seniority you need, the engagement model you choose (adding developers to your team, a dedicated team, or a fixed-price project), how long the engagement runs and the scope of the work. For PrestaShop work, the biggest drivers are the number of third-party modules and overrides in place, whether a version upgrade is needed first, how many languages, currencies and countries the store serves, and whether multistore or ERP and marketplace integrations are involved. Share your requirements and we will come back with a quote for your situation.
You tell us the technology, seniority, role and team structure you need. We recommend PrestaShop developer profiles that match those requirements, and you review the profiles and speak with the engineers yourself before anyone joins your team. When you interview, the areas worth testing are registering display and action hooks in a custom module; why class overrides should be avoided and what to use instead; extending Symfony-based back-office pages with grid and form hooks; planning a 1.7 to 8 upgrade and checking module compatibility; configuring multi-language URLs, currencies and country tax rules; and building child themes with Smarty templates.
It depends on which engineers with the right skills are available when you get in touch, so we do not publish a fixed start date. Availability is part of the conversation when we recommend profiles, and the start date is agreed with you before the engagement begins.
Because you interview the engineers before anyone joins, fit is tested before work starts. If concerns come up once the engagement is running, raise them with us directly. How changes to the team are handled is set out in the terms you agree with us at the start.
A freelancer suits small, well-defined tasks you can manage yourself. A dedicated developer joins your team under your direction. A dedicated team adds several roles around your product, and a project-based team delivers a defined outcome end to end.
They work in your time zone or with a meaningful overlap agreed up front, and inside your own tools and process: Slack or Teams, Jira, GitHub or GitLab, your standups, sprint planning and code review.
Yes. Older versions usually need modules and themes rebuilt for the new architecture, so we audit what you have and plan the upgrade to keep your catalog, customers and orders intact.
Each language gets its own translated content, URLs and email templates, and translations can be managed in the back office or through exported files. Currencies can use automatic exchange rates or fixed prices, and tax rules are set per country, so one store can sell correctly priced products across several markets.
Multistore suits businesses running several shops, such as separate brands or countries, that share a catalog and want one admin. It adds complexity to configuration and module settings, since many values can differ per shop, so separate installations can be simpler when the stores share little.
Yes. PrestaShop's webservice API exposes products, stock, customers and orders, and custom modules can push changes out through hooks such as order status updates. For marketplaces like Amazon or regional platforms, an existing connector module is often the starting point, extended where SKU mapping or order flows need custom handling.
Yes. We build a child theme on top of the parent theme, so template, CSS and JavaScript changes stay separate from files replaced during updates. New content blocks are added through module hooks rather than hard-coded into templates, which keeps the theme easier to maintain and upgrade.
