Automatic update

Those already using PrestaShop to fuel your e-commerce dreams will be delighted to know how easy it is to upgrade your current store. PrestaShop's core developers have spent countless hours designing a "1-click upgrade" module that, when installed in your back office, will allow any current PrestaShop merchant to update their store to v1.5 with effective ease and efficiency.

Improved back-office

With an improved, ergonomic back office and an updated graphical layout and design, it is even more pleasant and convenient to manage your shop daily. The new back-office also respects the MVC pattern to allow developers to quickly make customizations.

Advanced stock management with supply orders

For greater efficiency, PrestaShop 1.5 includes a stock management tool allowing merchants to separate your physical stock from your available quantities. You can manage your physical stock in various warehouses, generate supply orders and have an overview of your inventory through clear and detailed interfaces. This inventory management tool is natively compatible with the new multistore feature. Finally, for flexibility in managing customer orders, partial deliveries are now available.
