The Problem
Over the years, orders pile up in your PrestaShop database: tens of thousands of rows across the orders, order_detail, order_payment tables and more.
The result: a sluggish back office, endless searches, exports that time out, and increasingly heavy backups. Deleting those orders? Not an option — you would lose invoices and accounting records.
The Solution
MedArchiveOrder moves your old orders into a dedicated archive table, preserving the PDF invoices and delivery slips generated before deletion.
Your database regains its speed, your back office becomes responsive again, and you retain full access to your archives with the ability to restore any order at any time.
How It Works
Configure
Set the minimum order age, which statuses to archive, retention period, and email notifications.
Archive
Run archiving manually or automatically via CRON. PDFs are generated, key data is saved, then orders are removed from PrestaShop.
Manage
Browse, download PDFs, restore an order, or permanently delete archives from a dedicated back office.
