Prestashop Developer Outsourcing

Why Outsource Your Prestashop Development?

Outsourcing Prestashop development is more than a cost-cutting tactic — it’s a strategic growth decision. In a competitive e-commerce landscape, the ability to move fast, adapt, and build efficiently is essential. Hiring in-house developers is often slow, expensive, and risky, especially when your project requires specific Prestashop expertise. With outsourcing, offshore hiring, or outstaffing, you gain access to top-tier talent at a significantly lower cost, while maintaining full control over your development roadmap.

While local hiring can easily cost $6,000–$10,000/month per developer, outsourcing through Move Marketing gives you a dedicated Prestashop developer from just $2,000/month — someone who works exclusively for you. You manage their priorities and workflows, while we handle the recruitment, onboarding, HR, and ongoing support. You get the benefits of a full-time team member without the hassle of employer obligations.

Offshore vs. Local – Access Better Talent Without Borders

One of the core benefits of offshore outsourcing is the ability to hire highly experienced Prestashop developers who may not be available (or affordable) in your local market. Through our global network, we source skilled developers with deep Prestashop expertise — from theme customization and module development to complex integrations and performance optimization. No matter where they’re located, they work full-time for your business, aligned with your hours and goals.

Outstaffing Gives You Full Control

Unlike traditional outsourcing agencies that rotate developers between clients, our outstaffing model assigns a dedicated developer to your team — someone who reports directly to you and works only on your projects. It’s the perfect blend of flexibility and continuity. You avoid freelancer churn while maintaining direct communication, ownership, and accountability over your codebase.

Fixed Pricing. No Overhead. Total Flexibility.

Forget about taxes, paid leave, or office costs. With Move Marketing, you pay a flat monthly rate for your developer — no hidden fees, no administrative burden. This makes budgeting predictable and removes the distractions of traditional hiring. You can scale up or down anytime, depending on your business needs.

Long-Term Value Without Long-Term Risk

You don’t need to commit to full-time employment contracts to build long-term value. With our outsourcing model, you can start with one developer and expand later — all while keeping maximum flexibility and minimum risk. Your developer stays loyal to your business, learns your systems, and becomes an extension of your in-house team — just without the costs or complexity of hiring locally.

How Move Marketing Helps You Hire the Right Prestashop Developer

Finding the right developer is about more than just checking technical skills — it’s about fit, reliability, and long-term value. At Move Marketing, we take the guesswork out of offshore hiring by handling the entire process for you. Our model combines the speed and flexibility of outsourcing with the quality and control of in-house recruitment — giving you a trusted expert who works 100% for your business.

Step 1: Understanding Your Needs

We start by learning about your business, your current tech stack, and the specific tasks or goals you want your Prestashop developer to handle. Whether you need someone for frontend UX improvements, custom module development, or API integrations — we match the role to your exact requirements.

Step 2: Global Talent Search

Once we know what you need, we tap into our global talent network to identify the best offshore candidates. We screen for:

• Prestashop-specific experience (minimum 3+ years)
• Clean, maintainable coding practices
• Communication skills and remote work discipline
• Time zone compatibility and English fluency

You get to review shortlisted candidates and even interview them before moving forward — we only proceed when you’re 100% confident.

Step 3: Seamless Onboarding & Training

Once hired, we handle onboarding, contract setup, and infrastructure — including software licensing, communication tools, and time tracking. We also provide onboarding support to help the developer understand your business, workflows, and expectations. You can focus on building, while we manage the setup.

Step 4: Ongoing Support & Quality Assurance

Your developer may be offshore, but you’re never on your own. Our team provides:

• HR and performance management
• Weekly check-ins and availability monitoring
• Backup coverage and continuity planning if needed
• Conflict resolution and engagement support

With Move Marketing, you get a developer who acts like your own employee — but with zero hiring risk and full flexibility.

What Can a Dedicated Prestashop Developer Do?

When you bring in a dedicated Prestashop developer through Move Marketing, you’re not just filling a technical gap — you’re gaining a long-term e-commerce expert who understands Prestashop inside out. This full-time specialist becomes an extension of your team, helping you build, scale, and maintain a store that performs on every level.

Custom Themes and Frontend Enhancements

Your online store’s visual identity plays a critical role in conversion rates. A Prestashop developer ensures your storefront looks and functions exactly how you envision it — across all devices. With deep knowledge of the Prestashop templating system, your developer can:

• Implement responsive, mobile-friendly layouts
• Customize headers, product cards, and category pages
• Streamline navigation and UI elements for better UX
• Apply A/B tested changes to improve engagement

These changes aren’t just cosmetic — they’re designed to convert visitors into customers.

Module Development & Smart Integrations

Prestashop’s flexibility lies in its module ecosystem, but out-of-the-box solutions don’t always fit your business model. A dedicated developer can:

• Build tailor-made Prestashop modules
• Modify and optimize third-party modules
• Integrate external tools like CRMs, ERPs, and analytics platforms
• Connect your store to marketing systems like Klaviyo, HubSpot, or custom APIs

Custom development ensures your store works exactly the way you need it to — not the other way around.

Speed, Technical SEO & Performance Optimization

Prestashop can be lightning fast — if optimized correctly. Your developer will proactively monitor and enhance your site’s performance, including:

• Caching and database tuning
• Lazy loading images and scripts
• Fixing Core Web Vitals issues
• Ensuring SEO-friendly URLs, metadata, and site structure

Faster pages mean better user experience, higher rankings, and more sales.

Payment Systems, Checkout Flow & Marketplace Connections

From accepting payments to setting up shipping and syncing with global marketplaces, your Prestashop developer takes care of the technical configuration:

• Set up Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, or region-specific gateways
• Configure shipping zones, rules, and taxes
• Customize checkout steps for fewer cart abandonments
• Connect your store with Google Shopping, eBay, or Amazon

With the right setup, you’ll provide a seamless buying experience across all channels.

Ongoing Maintenance & Feature Rollouts

Prestashop evolves constantly — and so should your store. Unlike short-term freelancers, your dedicated developer will:

• Regularly update Prestashop core and modules
• Monitor site health and security
• Fix bugs proactively
• Roll out new features and improvements as your business grows

This continuity gives you the reliability of an in-house developer without the HR or payroll complexity.

Cost Comparison – Prestashop Outsourcing vs In-House Hiring

One of the biggest advantages of outsourcing or outstaffing your Prestashop development is the significant cost reduction — without compromising on quality. Hiring a full-time in-house developer, especially in markets like the US, UK, or Western Europe, comes with a long list of hidden expenses: taxes, health insurance, pension contributions, equipment, office space, paid leave, and more.

By comparison, when you work with Move Marketing, you pay a simple monthly invoice — no overhead, no obligations. Your developer works full-time for you, but we handle all administrative and legal complexity behind the scenes.

Below is a simplified example comparing monthly costs for a mid-level Prestashop developer in an in-house setup vs our offshore outstaffing model:

Cost Breakdown	In-House Developer (US)	Offshore Developer via Move Marketing
Base Salary	$6,500	$2,200
Employer Taxes & Social Security	$1,200	Included
Health Insurance & Benefits	$800	Included
Office Space & Equipment	$400	Included
Paid Vacation & Sick Days	$500	Included
Recruitment & HR Costs	$300	Included
Total Monthly Cost	$9,700	$2,200

With this model, you’re saving up to 75% monthly — while gaining a fully dedicated Prestashop developer working exclusively on your goals. That’s capital you can reinvest into marketing, product development, or customer acquisition — instead of overhead.

Offshore vs. Outstaffing – What’s the Difference?

When it comes to hiring remote Prestashop talent, the terms “offshore”, “outsourcing”, and “outstaffing” are often used interchangeably — but they represent different models of collaboration. Understanding these distinctions is key to choosing the right approach for your business.

Offshore Development: Cost-Efficient Global Talent

Offshore development refers to hiring talent from countries with lower labor costs than your own — often in regions like Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, or Latin America. This model is ideal when you’re looking for affordable, long-term technical expertise without compromising quality.

With Move Marketing, your Prestashop developer may be located offshore, but we ensure they are fluent in English, overlap with your working hours, and deliver results to Western standards. You get the benefits of global pricing with the discipline of structured workflows.

Outsourcing: Project-Based and Agency-Led

In traditional outsourcing, you hand off a project to an external agency or team who manages the process from start to finish. While this model works for short-term builds, it often lacks transparency, flexibility, and continuity — especially when updates or ongoing support are needed.

With full outsourcing, you rarely speak directly with the developer. You’re paying for results, not relationships — and that makes it harder to build internal knowledge or long-term value.

Outstaffing: Your Developer, Your Direction

Outstaffing is a hybrid model — and the one we use at Move Marketing. In this setup, we recruit, vet, and employ a full-time Prestashop developer, but they work exclusively for you. You manage their daily tasks, set priorities, and integrate them into your workflows — just like an in-house team member.

The difference? We handle everything else:

• Contracts and legal compliance
• Monthly payroll and international transfers
• Vacation tracking and time reporting
• HR support and performance management

With outstaffing, you get the flexibility of remote hiring and the control of a direct employee — without the administrative burden.
