Can I migrate my Magento order history to PrestaShop?

**Only through a migration tool** - PrestaShop's own native import tool has no order-import path at all, so order data for this pair depends entirely on a tool like LitExtension, whose pair page lists orders (with IDs, dates, statuses, line items, and pricing) as a migrated entity, including an option to preserve original order IDs.

Do Magento gift cards transfer to PrestaShop?

**Only Adobe Commerce** (the paid Magento edition) has gift cards at all - Magento Open Source doesn't, so there's nothing to migrate on that edition. Either way, PrestaShop has no built-in gift-card feature; it relies on third-party marketplace modules, and LitExtension's pair page doesn't list gift cards as migrated.

Does credit card information transfer from Magento to PrestaShop?

**No** - LitExtension's own pair page states directly that credit-card information cannot transfer, citing privacy regulations. Customers will need to re-enter payment details after the move.

Will I lose my Google rankings when I switch from Magento to PrestaShop?

Not if you use LitExtension's "**301 Redirects to Your PrestaShop Store**" feature, which the vendor states automatically maps every Magento URL to its matching page on PrestaShop - PrestaShop core itself doesn't include a bulk redirect-mapping tool of its own.

Migrate from Magento to PrestaShop: Practical Guide

Q: Will my Magento customer passwords work on PrestaShop after migrating?

**It depends.** LitExtension's own pair page states passwords migrate "only when Magento's hashing method is compatible with PrestaShop's format" - a conditional, not a guarantee - so plan a password-reset email for customers as the fallback.

Overview

Moving from Magento Open Source to PrestaShop means leaving one self-hosted commerce platform for another, and this is one of the more limited migrations on this list: PrestaShop's own native import tool covers more entity types than WooCommerce's does, but it has no native order-import path at all, so order history depends entirely on a third-party migration tool. A realistic plan treats this as a catalog-and-customer move via PrestaShop's own importer or a migration tool, plus a tool-dependent order migration and manual rebuild of taxes, discounts, and gift-card functionality.

What transfers cleanly from Magento to PrestaShop

Products and variants - Magento's System > Data Transfer > Export tool includes Products (with configurable-product/variant data included in the export), and PrestaShop's native import tool (Advanced Parameters > Import) can load products and combinations directly via column mapping; LitExtension's Magento-to-PrestaShop tool also lists products (names, SKUs, descriptions, pricing, images, attributes, variants) as a migrated entity.
Customers and addresses - Magento exports customers via its Customers Main File and Customer Addresses tools, and PrestaShop's native import tool accepts customers, addresses, and store contacts directly; LitExtension's pair page lists customers (addresses, emails, groups) as a migrated entity.
Orders, but only through the migration tool. PrestaShop's native import tool doesn't support order import at all - it's absent from PrestaShop's own documented entity list - so order data for this pair depends on LitExtension, whose pair page lists orders (retaining IDs, dates, statuses, line items, pricing) as a migrated entity, plus a "Preserve Order IDs" option.
Product reviews - Magento's native admin-managed reviews and PrestaShop's native Product Comments module (bundled in every default install) are functionally equivalent, and LitExtension's pair page separately lists reviews as a migrated entity for this pair.
Taxes, categories, CMS pages, and multiple languages - LitExtension's pair page lists "Taxes" among migrated entities for this pair, alongside categories, CMS pages (titles, content, SEO data), and multiple-language support.

What does not transfer

Order data has no native import path on the PrestaShop side at all - PrestaShop's own native import tool's documented entity list doesn't include orders, so this entity depends entirely on LitExtension's migration tool rather than any built-in PrestaShop feature.
Credit card information does not transfer. LitExtension's own pair page states this directly, noting it's "due to privacy regulations" - consistent with the general pattern that stored payment tokens are tied to the originating gateway, so customers re-enter card details after the move.
Customer passwords aren't guaranteed to carry over. LitExtension's pair page states passwords migrate "only when Magento's hashing method is compatible with PrestaShop's format" - an explicit conditional, not a guarantee - so plan a password-reset/account-activation email as the fallback.
Gift cards need separate handling on both sides: gift cards only exist on Adobe Commerce (the paid Magento edition), not on Magento Open Source, so a free-edition store has none to migrate; PrestaShop has no native gift-card feature either, relying on third-party marketplace modules, and LitExtension's pair page doesn't list gift cards as migrated.
Discount rules (Magento's cart price rules / coupons) have no native export path on the Magento side - Magento's Data Transfer > Export entity-type list doesn't include coupons or cart price rules - and PrestaShop's Cart Rules feature is likewise not among the entities PrestaShop's own native import tool loads, so this data depends on LitExtension's migration for coverage.
Tax field-level fidelity should be verified, not assumed complete. Even though LitExtension lists "Taxes" as migrated for this pair, Magento's rule-based Tax Rate + Product Tax Class + Customer Tax Class model and PrestaShop's Tax Rules Group model are structurally different, and no source documents an exact field-level mapping between them.

Effort drivers

How many entities you're moving. Migration-tool pricing for this pair scales with product, order, customer, and blog-post counts (LitExtension's own pricing estimator works this way), so catalog and order-history size directly drive migration cost and time.
Whether you rely on PrestaShop's native importer or a migration tool for orders specifically - since PrestaShop's own import tool has no order-import path, order history migration is entirely dependent on LitExtension's coverage, which is a planning decision to make early.
Whether you're on Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source. Gift cards only exist on Adobe Commerce, so stores on that edition have an extra migration decision (and an extra third-party PrestaShop module to evaluate) that Open Source stores don't.
Tax rule complexity. Because Magento's rule-based tax-class-combination model and PrestaShop's Tax-Rules-Group model don't have a documented field-level mapping, more tax rules and jurisdictions mean more manual verification work even though the tool lists taxes as migrated.
How many integrations need replacing. Magento's built-in PayPal, Braintree, and Authorize.net gateways and its UPS/USPS/DHL/FedEx carrier integrations have to be replaced with PrestaShop's PrestaShop Checkout (built with PayPal), its default modules, and its native zone/weight-based carrier system.

Recommended approach

Start by deciding how much of this migration you want to run yourself versus through a tool. PrestaShop's own native import tool (Advanced Parameters > Import) accepts a CSV and, via column mapping, loads products, combinations, customers, addresses, categories, brands, suppliers, and store contacts directly - a real DIY path for the bulk of your catalog and customer data, no purchased tool required. What that native importer can't do is orders: they're not among the entity types it supports, so order history depends entirely on a migration tool.

If you want a single tool to also handle orders (with IDs preserved), taxes, coupons, reviews, CMS pages, and multiple-language content in one pass, price LitExtension's Magento-to-PrestaShop tool - the self-service Automated Migration starts at $59, and the expert-managed All-in-One service starts at $169 and includes all additional options free. Because password migration only works "when Magento's hashing method is compatible with PrestaShop's format" per LitExtension's own conditional wording, plan a password-reset email flow as the fallback rather than the first resort.

Decide how to handle gift cards if you're on Adobe Commerce, since neither PrestaShop nor the WooCommerce-adjacent tooling referenced here has a native gift-card feature - PrestaShop needs a third-party module either way. Verify your tax rules after migration even though LitExtension lists taxes as migrated, since Magento's rule-based model and PrestaShop's Tax Rules Group model don't have a documented field mapping.

Reconfigure payments and shipping as their own workstream - set up PrestaShop Checkout or a compatible module and PrestaShop's native carrier system rather than expecting Magento's Braintree/carrier setup to transfer. Before cutover, use LitExtension's "301 Redirects to Your PrestaShop Store" feature, which the vendor states maps every Magento URL to its matching PrestaShop page, and run the full migration during a low-traffic window so you can verify products, orders, and customer records before pointing the domain at PrestaShop.
