Where self hosted PrestaShop keeps orders and images on Linux servers. Exact folders are covered below.
Last updated
PrestaShop is shop software with server storage. The database holds products, orders, and customers. Images sit in the img directory. The release version matters for themes.
Same database plus img means same shop. Exact paths vary by host with public_html or www roots. Keep backups of both together. One without the other restores products without pictures. For moves, enable maintenance first to freeze orders during dumps. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later.
Where PrestaShop stores this, by platform
/var/www/html/img (images beside database, paths vary)
Products and orders live in the database with pictures beside it in img. Back up both together with maintenance on. Match releases before restore.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate PrestaShop to a new server?
Back up the PrestaShop database plus img directory with maintenance on, then install the same release on the new server before restore. Products and orders follow the database. Mixed releases can break themes, so match versions first.
Where are PrestaShop product images stored?
In the MySQL database on your server with pictures beside it in img storage. The browser holds login plus admin cache only. Export products as CSVs from admin settings for records, since devices never hold the master catalog alone.
