Update Assistant

Update Assistant is the official PrestaShop module dedicated to upgrading your store to a newer version of PrestaShop. It handles the complete update process and can be run either through a guided web-based assistant or via the command line, giving both non-technical merchants and developers a reliable way to keep their store current.

• Updates a PrestaShop store to a more recent version through either a web assistant interface or a CLI tool
• Supports command-line parameters and configuration files for automated or scripted update workflows
• Includes backup functionality so a store snapshot is created before the update begins, and a restore capability to roll back if needed
• Update, backup, and restore processes are broken into discrete steps, providing transparency and control throughout the operation

Update Assistant is an essential tool for any PrestaShop store owner or developer responsible for keeping a store on a supported version. It is especially valuable for merchants who want a structured, reversible upgrade path rather than manually replacing files. The CLI support makes it practical for agencies and developers managing multiple stores or integrating updates into automated deployment pipelines.
