PrestaShop Full-Day Store Setup Service

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 we size the day

A Setup Day is a time-box, not an unlimited backlog promise. Before the day, we sort the list into work that probably fits, work that might fit if access and decisions are ready, and work that clearly needs a separate project. Small configuration tasks often take 20-60 minutes each. A careful module install with credentials, hooks and smoke tests can take several hours. Anything that needs discovery, design decisions, code changes, vendor support or data migration is sized differently because it can consume the whole day before a useful result exists. We protect the day for tasks that can be completed, verified and handed over.

Examples that usually fit

• Module setup: install and configure an existing module, place supported hooks, enter credentials and run a smoke test.
• Theme adjustments: tune existing theme settings, menu/header/footer blocks, child-theme-safe CSS and obvious mobile layout issues.
• Store configuration: clean shipping, tax, email, SEO URL, cache, cron, feed or back-office settings that need experienced hands.
• Tracking and feeds: place a supported tag, check a feed URL, verify a cron trigger, or confirm that events fire once in the expected path.
• Launch checks: test product, cart, checkout, contact, account and email paths after several setup changes have landed.

Examples that do not fit

A 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. A complex payment/feed module with sandbox testing, external approval and webhook diagnosis may be better as Module Setup from €590. If the request depends on code the module does not have, data the shop does not expose, or a third party who has not enabled the account, we draw that line early.

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 a time log 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, or if no extra spend is the correct answer, we tell you before billing deeper work.

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.

End-of-day handover

You receive a day report in a practical format: completed tasks, time spent by task, configuration changes made, modules or settings touched, checks performed, skipped items, blockers, risks and recommended next steps. Where something failed, we include the cause as far as the day allowed and the clean next action: vendor question, separate quote, module replacement, or no further work. 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.
