To do this, use this procedure:

1. Find the .htaccess file in the root directory of your PrestaShop installation.
2. Open the file in a text editor.
3. Add the following code to the file:

*RewriteEngine On*

*RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80*

*RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R,L]*

1. Please save the file and close it.

Once you have done this, all HTTP requests will be redirected to HTTPS.

Here are some additional tips:

- Ensure your SSL certificate is installed and valid. You can check your SSL certificate by visiting your website and looking for a padlock icon in the address bar. If you don't see a padlock icon, your website is not using HTTPS.
- Test your website to make sure that the redirect is working properly. You can do this by visiting your website in [HTTP and HTTPS](https://truehost.com/support/knowledge-base/http-to-https-redirect-on-wordpress/) and ensuring you are redirected to the HTTPS version.
- Consider using a CDN to improve the performance of your website. A CDN is a network of servers that can deliver content to users more quickly.

Now your redirect is ready for your Prestashop.
