PrestaShop Setup Day

A focused day to clear your PrestaShop setup backlog

Most store setup backlogs are not one big project. They are ten small jobs nobody wants to scope separately: install this module, move that block, configure those email settings, check a feed, place a tracking tag, tune a theme option, fix a small layout issue, verify cron, clean up a back-office setting. Buying those as separate micro-tasks is slow and expensive. A Setup Day gives you one focused block where we batch the work, prioritise the list and get as much useful setup done as the day realistically allows.

What fits a Setup Day

The best tasks are practical, bounded and based on existing capabilities: configuring native PrestaShop options, installing or configuring existing modules, applying theme settings, moving hooks where the theme/module supports it, checking cron/feed/tracking basics, cleaning small back-office mistakes, and making minor front-office tweaks that do not require a redesign. It is ideal after an audit, after buying several modules, before launch, or when a store has accumulated a page of small fixes that are individually too small for a project.

How the day is controlled

Before the day starts, you send the task list, priorities, access and any packages or credentials. We triage the list into likely in-scope, risky/needs more detail, and out-of-scope. On the day, we work from the top down, keep notes as we go, and stop before turning a small setup item into unapproved development. That control matters: the value of a day block is focus, not pretending every request can fit into one day. Same honesty rule: if the module/theme is the wrong fit for your store, we tell you before billing deeper work.

Typical work we can batch

• Module setup: install and configure one or more existing modules, place supported hooks and run smoke tests.
• Theme setup: adjust existing theme settings, child-theme-safe CSS, menu/header/footer blocks and obvious mobile layout issues.
• Configuration: shipping, tax, email, SEO URL, cache, cron, feed, tracking and back-office settings that need experienced hands.
• Verification: check the affected storefront/admin paths and document what passed, what failed and what needs deeper scope.

What does not fit

Setup Day is not a way to squeeze a custom build, full redesign, content migration, ERP integration, checkout rebuild or performance remediation into one day. New behaviour belongs in Custom Module Development or a scoped project. A full theme migration belongs in Theme Setup or a quoted migration. Complex single-module installs may be better as Module Setup from €590. We draw that line early so the day is used for work that can actually be completed and verified.

Why this is cleaner than tiny tasks

Small jobs still have overhead: access, backups, context, cache, verification and handover. When you buy them one by one, you pay that overhead repeatedly. A Setup Day absorbs the context once and lets us move through related tasks in order, checking interactions between them as we go. If a module change affects a theme block, or a feed setting depends on cron, we can handle the chain instead of opening three separate tickets.

Handover and next step

You receive a day report listing completed tasks, configuration changes, checks performed, skipped items, risks and recommended next steps. If the list reveals recurring maintenance work, Care Core is usually a better long-term fit. If it reveals one large missing feature, we scope it honestly as a project instead of letting it consume setup time.
