Hey, I will migrate your store to PrestaShop 8 — categories, products, prices, customers, and PayPal — on a staging environment with a full security audit before going live. PrestaExpert. Since you had a recent incident, I will scan the 1.7.6.4 database and file tree for residual backdoors or injected code before any data touches the new install. This prevents carrying compromised files into the fresh PS8 environment. Questions: 1) Is your current theme custom or a marketplace theme — do you have the original source files? 2) Which specific modules beyond PayPal are active and essential? Ready to start whenever you are. Kamran

Hello, PrestaExpert I have handled multiple PrestaShop migrations (1.6/1.7 → 8) where security, module compatibility, and checkout stability were critical, so your project fits well with my experience. My approach: I will start by cloning your site into a staging environment and performing a full audit (files, database, modules) to ensure no leftover malicious code or backdoors remain. Then I’ll proceed with a controlled migration to PrestaShop 8, avoiding auto-upgrade shortcuts and instead validating each layer—core, theme, and modules. I will: Migrate products, categories, prices, and customers safely Audit and clean codebase for security integrity Evaluate theme compatibility (rebuild or replace if needed) Reinstall/replace incompatible modules with PS8-safe alternatives Ensure PayPal checkout works flawlessly Test navigation, cart, and checkout end-to-end Optimize for PHP 8.1+ compatibility and stability Timeline: ~5–6 days depending on theme/module complexity. A few questions: Are you using a custom theme or marketplace theme? Which modules are critical to your workflow? Do you have full server/SSH access for deep inspection? Any specific issues observed post-security incident? I focus on clean, stable migrations not just upgrades so your store runs securely and reliably on PrestaShop 8. Best regards, Rekha!!!
