Questions about switching
How do we bring our PrestaShop data over?
Export your products and customers as CSV files from the back office and bring them in with Import in Shop’s Products list and the client import. Calisto has no direct PrestaShop connector.
Do we need to host anything?
No. Shop runs on Calisto, and your website is built in Sites. There is nothing to install or update.
Can we also sell in a store?
Yes. The register sells from the same products and stock as the website, and returns from both are one list.
