If you have followed the above steps, the migration can finally begin!
Step 1: put your online shop in maintenance mode
Check the PrestaShop version in which the online store is located and put it in maintenance mode
You may need to update the version your website is currently running on.
If you don't know where to check which version of PrestaShop your shop is in, simply refer to the top bar in your shop's back office.
In addition, although it is not mandatory, we recommend that you put the shop in maintenance mode, so that if someone enters your site whilst you are performing this operation, you will not lose data when migrating your Prestashop store.
If you have a local website, this step is not necessary, since your PrestaShop site is not publicly available on the Internet.
Step 2: create a backup on the old server
To do so, access the control panel of the current (old) server as an administrator, and simply look for the backup module that will allow you to quickly generate a backup of your PrestaShop store.
You will find several backup modules on the official marketplace; these will make your work easier and much faster.
