Updating an Existing PrestaShop Store

If you already run a store on PrestaShop and want to upgrade to a newer version, don't install a new version from scratch. Instead:

• Make a full backup of your store (files + database)
• Use the dedicated update module available in the administration panel
• Or use a data migration process when moving between major versions
• Always test the update first on a test copy of the store

Post-Installation Safeguards

Regardless of which version you download, once the installation is complete, perform these critical safety steps:

5. Update regularly - install security patches as soon as possible after their release
