Most providers do one or the other — a hosting company that only manages the server, or an agency that builds the site but won’t touch hosting. Shopcreator does both: we host and support PrestaShop stores end to end, for clients including Anna Morgan, Gem Scientific, Lindum Turf, MagnaBeds, Futons247, Funky Futon and The Bed Factory.
We’ve hosted and supported hundreds of ecommerce stores across PrestaShop, Magento and WooCommerce — including PrestaShop stores from independent retailers to national suppliers — handling everything from custom B2B pricing to full version upgrades.
PrestaShop is open source, so there’s no per-store software licence eating into margin — budget goes into the store itself, not a platform fee.
Native support for customer groups and price rules, which we’ve used to connect PrestaShop stores directly to clients’ Sage/Finance systems for contract-specific pricing.
PrestaShop’s MultiShop feature runs several storefronts — different regions, languages or brands — from one back office.
Thousands of modules cover payment, shipping, marketing and ERP integrations, so most requirements don’t need custom development from scratch.
For Lindum Turf we built a custom order-entry and cutting-sheet system that automated manual, WhatsApp-based processes for staff in the field — PrestaShop’s flexibility extends well beyond a standard storefront.
Shopcreator, based in Leeds since 1998, provides both PrestaShop hosting and ongoing support as one service — so there’s one team to call, not a hosting company and an agency pointing at each other. Retainers start from £150/month.
We offer 1 hour response times for urgent issues, depending on your support contract.
Yes – slow PrestaShop stores are something we fix regularly, and it’s rarely one single cause. The usual culprits are outdated or badly-coded modules, oversized unoptimised images, and hosting that isn’t tuned for PrestaShop specifically. We audit the store, strip out or replace the modules causing the slowdown, optimise images and database queries, and configure server-level caching – all included as part of ongoing support.
Yes. We’ve integrated PrestaShop with clients’ Sage/Finance systems to show different prices to different customer groups, including for Anna Morgan, Gem Scientific, and a large national care home supplier.
Retainers start from £150/month, depending on store size and scope.
Yes — PrestaShop 1.6 no longer receives security patches, which leaves stores running it exposed to known vulnerabilities. We handle upgrades to PrestaShop 8/9 without breaking existing modules.
We take over hosting, support and development for existing PrestaShop stores, picking up where a previous developer left off.
With Shopcreator there’s no handoff to argue about — the same team hosts and maintains your PrestaShop store, so there’s nowhere for a problem to hide between two suppliers blaming each other.
Generic shared hosting isn’t configured for PrestaShop specifically, so performance, module compatibility and security patching are left to you. Managed hosting means the server is set up and maintained for PrestaShop, with support included.
Hosting, monitoring, security updates, module and core upgrades, and 1 hour response times for urgent issues — all from £150/month, scaled to your store’s size.
Shopcreator has been building and supporting ecommerce stores from Leeds since 1998.
