The person who owns the url starts by asking 5 x gross revenue for 18 months, then adds a lot like $70K for "a tax bill" in bullish style, with no reply to offers. Revenue is probably stuff like $1000 a month for Paypal and Cloudways Hosting referral, but he wants a non-disclosure agreement before detailing. He put details of virtual office and server costs on a google doc for a while. They just about balance the voluntary subscriptions that some supporters make.

I re-read my post & deleted, as it didn't say much. Anyone found any good courier modules ? Or data import for shipping?

Can you have a different product for "engraved object £110" and "plain object £100" ? They might sit next to each other on product lists if sorted by name. Or else pay someone to combine "plain object £100" and another product called "engraving £10" to sit next to each other on a product page and have the £10 upselling offer somewhere useful? I don't know how tricky that is. Doing it with default options defeats me, partly because I don't know how the back office catalog works and why things can not show on it. PS - just thought that "upselling" might have default options or good modules or something. I'm not sure what they are, but they might be more useful than linking products together as product kits or accessories (whatever those are). If there is a way to upsell the paid-customization product, there might be a module or obscure default options for that. Subcategories might be useful as well; "plain object £100" and "engraving £10" could be the only members of a subcategory so they show together. PPS - free default TB Cross-selling module is the one I was thinking of, but there may be others. --------------------------added after a couple of posts below https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/522296-adding-a-fixed-price-for-customization/](https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/522296-adding-a-fixed-price-for-customization/ has an idea: default allows a charge and message for gift wrapping on the cart; some kind of code change could extend that https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/273619-free-module-blockcartaccessories-display-product-accessories-on-the-cart/ - a free module no longer maintained by ckarone, called "block cart accessories", which is something to do with putting accessories (like a product that's just paid customization) in the cart without extra buttons I hope. This one has been updated by the look of it, to a paid but cheap one by Green Mouse Studio. I think it's £25. There's a module for up-selling insurance which is free to download and might have some relevant code in it. It doesn't work for free; you have to get a key from an insurance broker, but for hacking and copying it might be free. The bit I'd pay for is just a reliable way to get customisation without pressing "save", so I can add belt lengths to my belts. Apparently this is just a javascript job. A lot of merchants want to go further and upsell / charge for customization which might include the code that I want.

It's working on another test site. Even if change the templates around, there's still a need to press about three buttons at once. An accessory called "text" appears below a product; you click on it and it swaps-over with the product you haven't bought yet. Then the default customization requires "save" as well as "buy". I guess this needs a Javascript expert, from this post

🙂 -------------------------------- Missing products from the back office : warning and solution Don't do what I did, which lost most of the products from the back office while keeping them at the front. preferences>products|stock>enable stock management | disabled ..got them back till re-enabled. catalog>products>search search for something like product ID 1 . On the results page an orange button called "Reset" appears under the search button. I pressed it and the products came back for a bit; I don't know how permenantly. The problem iprobably starts with some unusual stock setting below --------------------------------- so don't follow these instructions on a real site, and use backups catalog>products>new products> information> name> "add text" >click ⚪ Virtual product (services, booking, downloadable products, etc.) prices> retail price (otherwise you could use the customization form for your existing product, but it wouldn't charge extra) quantities> 0, when out of stock allow orders, minimum 0, associations> accessories > type the first few letters of existing products like tin cups that you want to customize for extra money, and select if the software finds them. customization> type "1" for text fields, define the label, set to compulsory if it's the first one save etc Then go to your existing product: associations> accessories > type the first letters of this new paid customisation like "add text" and select when found The bits I didn't think of before are that "virtual product" turns-off stock control, and that "accessories" can make two products show as a couple. I don't know why my test install started loosing products in the back office soon after Could be good to disable "quantity wanted" unless it somehow makes sense to order 2 products x 2 customizations: #quantity_wanted_p {display: none !important;} does it for all products in the preferences>custom code>css box, but I tried editing a template, like the "product_wide.tpl" in /themes/niara/templates/product_wide.tpl", and then selecting it from catalog>products>add text>template manager Maybe this is where I slipped-up and broke something, but it seemed a good idea at the time.

http://archive.today/SS0TJ Additional product attributes / custom payment methods set-up from the back office with no module White tin cup has stock control turned-on and a price First line of customization text has an extra price and no stock control Second line of text has a different extra price and no stock contol Done from the back office with two virtual customizable products and one real product That's all; the links might work to demonstrate If it's possible to combine the products onto one template and add some hitml, this could be more like the examples below without slowing down the site so much and without the cost. https://addons.prestashop.com/demo/FO22950.html - iphone https://addons.prestashop.com/demo/FO22950.html - T shirt https://addons.prestashop.com/demo/FO22950.html - pizza

Hunch Pizza shops could turn off >preferences>products>enable stock management They could do stock control in other ways and get stock in emergencies: make it up as they go along. Their different products could have different prices. Maybe few enough combinations that it's OK to have them all spelt-out on the product page and only shown by the browser when relevant. But there was a Pizza person called kakkupaperi on a long Prestashop thread about this so facts vary. Belt shops need stock managment for buckles but not for straps. They can use a hacked work-around to make customizations work from one button, and to add a select menu to a product template where it usually has a customization text area. I'd donate £30 towards a module because it's a bit risky to rely on a hacked work-around. Engravers need stock management for silver cups, but not for engraving. Same with embroiderers. Engravers want different prices for different adaptations - one line, two lines, etc. So that's a whole different thing. I don't know if T shirt screen printers are the same WildToddMan is on the forum at the moment and might now. Anyway these are the people who need to sponsor a module but I'll add £30

Why? I have an answer but it might be completely wrong for your needs and I don't want to stop other answers! If you want to count inventory for some goods, maybe physical goods, and not for others, maybe virtual goods, then it's possible to make a customization look like an attribute. You make it work with one button, and you alter the template code to allow a select menu in place of a text field. Search "customization with one button" to find it on the forum. I hope I have not stopped better answers, just because I guessed what you wanted. John

@toplakd is it possible to add plenty of specific css labels, so they're easy to modify from >preferences>custom code>add css? I tried an existing hack on your one page checkout and it worked quite well with some additions: #opc_account_form > div:nth-child(24) > label {display: none;} /*phone number label*/ #opc_account_form > div.required.form-group.gender-line {display: none;} #opc_account_form > div.required.password.is_customer_param.form-group.form-ok {display: none;} #opc_account_form > div.select.form-group.date-select {display: none;} You can see that the top line is unstable; one typo, or any change to to the form could make {display:none;} apply to something else. I don't think there is anything more specific in the css code to refer to; it probably has to have the nth child thing that I found from right-clicking and saving the selector link. I havent worked through your mobile one page checkout; I still have a password box on my version but I will find a way to remove. Thanks for the code, and thanks for doing a mobile version.

I was on another thread just now that links to this. My version has the bits of code layed-out in a list because I don't know how it should work and have to read closely. I also changed the Alt and Title links to show the Meta_description, so that it shows on mousover. I didn't work out how to show the logo on the same line as the manufacturer name, but it works well enough to use. {if $product->id_manufacturer > 0} <p itemprop="brand" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Brand"> <b>{l s='Manufacturer:'}</b> <a itemprop="url" href="{$link->getManufacturerLink($product->id_manufacturer)}" title="{$product_manufacturer->meta_description}"> <span itemprop="name">{$product->manufacturer_name}</span> <img width="40" height="30" {*or it could be set from css for this class*} src="{$img_manu_dir}{$product_manufacturer->id}.jpg" class="logo_manufacturer img-responsive" title="{$product_manufacturer->meta_description}" alt="{$product_manufacturer->meta_description}" /> </a> </p> {/if}

I was wrong: Manufacturer logos don't show on default templates, so you have to change a template file anyway. Still useful if you have several logos, rather then the one suggested. I found instructions over here. forum.thirtybees.com/topic/3411-manufacturer-logo-on-product-page/ I'll put my version at the end of that thread.

backoffice>preferences>customers set "newsletter registration", "opt in (to special offers)" and "phone number is mandatory" to "no" (unless maybe you need a phone number for a courier) backoffice>preferences>custom code>add css adds css to each page of your site, and your css stays in place if a file is updated. The link above shows a hack for removing date of birth; I got rid of account creation as well, but the technique is probably similar if you keep it. Three days is quick to get to know a shopping cart. I worked through several a few years back, and found them all infuriating. When I look at what my rival shopkeepers have done, they have usually given-up and paid so-much-a-month for a hosted locked-down service paid someone to set-up a shopping cart Either way, there's not much control over the detail, or not if it's cheap. A problem with the free shopping carts is that nobody makes money selling them! There's sometimes pressure to buy add-on modules for essentials, or unfinished code and un-fixed bugs, and the forum posts are answered by other merchants or maybe coders who sell the odd bit of paid help as well. Ubercart and Jigoshop closed their forums down completely. Maybe that's why merchants go for the safe expensive options at first. Good luck John

I used catalog>manufactureres>new manufacturer and made my manufacturers "UK", "France", etc, as I have products from more than one country This manufacturer page has space for "logo" or flag and allows customers to find all stock from that manufacturer. There's room for some text. I have Amnesty International & Human Rights Watch link for each country link to Democracy Index on Wikipidia with mention of their score, like "hybrid regime" or "flawed democracy", or "democracy" I hope to find somewhere to link for social security / national insurance / whatever you call it in each country as well. I think US Federal government has an online list but am not sure. I haven't done any layout or graphics, but that could be good too. Translating "Manufacturer" to " " allows me to write "Made in UK", "Made in France" etc as a single phrase, which I hope makes more sense.

Just noticed a thread about in on Thirtybees forums. The author is called Musicmaster and answers questions https://forum.thirtybees.com/topic/925-prestools-the-free-mass-edit-toolset

prestools.com/Prestools-Suite-for-Prestashop-manual.pdf is worth installing. 13 - Images - needs the €42.35 Prestools Images Plugin if I remember right, but has helped me regenerate images that would otherwise timeout. I forget exactly how it can do more than the built-in thirtybees software; I just remember that it worked.

Just a cross-reference to here: force customer to choose from a drop-down https://forum.thirtybees.com/topic/2455-free-theme-niara-thirty-bees-theme/?do=findComment&comment=32114 It would be a pity if people couldn't find this post; I guess a lot search here under tips and tricks On second thoughts there is a second option. The back office lets you choose radio buttons or tickboxes or colours or textures, I think, instead of a drop-down menu. Radio buttons are not pre-selected; you have to choose one. The trouble is DIY editing of the radio buttons to make them look more clickable - black rectangles with clear bold white sizes on them for example. I am sure there's a guide somewhere on the web...

Someone mentioned this thread about a DIY hack headed "Veganline created a topic in Tips and Tricks" It is free but price & delivery stay the same you probably want to re-arrange where things show on the product template file for this product, which is worth learning to do anyway. you have to replace three other files with ones you can download from the thread. You can pay someone to do it but... you have to do it again if you update thirtybees and one is over-written. There's a thread about modules that charge for customization. Andy C on the forum chose one for his Pewterworld site. The thread is

I got burned by registering my domain with a host, who tried to prevent exit and raise the price. Penguin-uk.com are great for domain registration. They helped extract my domain and they're cheap. Hosting.co.uk were recommended somewhere and have been fine for low traffic on their cheapest shared host deal. That deal provides space for some test sites as well. It's a bottom-end price that doesn't increase after the first year (I hope). Cloudflare do my free secure server, but were fiddly to set-up. Careful scouring of the fastest sites on Webperf.org didn't help me find a good host. I just googled recommendations from site-writing companies this time around.

I don't use recurring payments but hope this helps someone. https://gocardless.com/ have a Prestashop 1.6 module and pages for developers or "partners". They use direct debits rather than card payments, and I don't know what countries they're good for, but they have a page and contact for international payments. They mainly do recurring payments and the direct debit system is cheap here in the UK. -------------------------------- added 2020.7.6 They're going to have to charge tax - VAT - from next year apparently. I suppose this is a 20% price rise in the UK for people who can either claim most of it back if they trade over the VAT threshold which is £85,000 this year, or maybe there will be a special discount for sole traders who choose not to register. Details on the GoCardless website and Gov.uk

Elavon had or has a system like Security Metrics. I had to keep trying answers until they passed the test, then work out how to do what I had said in the answers, mainly about storing of card numbers in case I needed to give a refund. Putting old phone notebooks full of card details in the paper recycling bin outside where I live was the wrong answer. Nowadays I don't bother with Elavon but am still careful about card numbers. Taking the odd payment over the phone and typing it into Stripe via https://dashboard.stripe.com/payments | NEW has not got me arrested and Stripe don't require a PCI test. Online-only payments via Paypal have never led me to need a PCI test.

Your screen shot shows Featured Products hooked to the home page, rather than New Products. There is a known fault in Niara theme that new products show-up in the left column on the home page, with default camera icons instead of images, so it's worth a look there. I am no expert on solutions though.

The only host I've had trouble with is just for testing anyway - the free Byethost & variations like Infinityfree. The ones that call CPanel "Vistapanel". Byethost's Softulicious says The following errors were found : Could not make the query numbered : 365 MySQL Error No : 1071 MySQL Error : Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes I have no trouble on Hosting.co.uk and other paid shared hosts that I've used. I put new test sites in a different directory to recent previous test sites, which might prevent traces of one being used by the next.

This is the best I've found, with no gotchas like the need to pay for a postage module or a shopping cart module. For postage, countries are zoned, just as any post office zones countries, and you can probably fill-in sufficient prices and weights each year for your product. For example most post offices have a cheap 2kg deal which suits a lot of products. Apply the price for "world" then add a zone for your own country which will be cheap and edit prices for the furthest zones. If you need another option than a 2kg parcel, you can add it as another courier option and enable it for the products where it applies. For the shopping cart, the default option is rather subtle and allows you to have different payment options for different parts of the world where customers live, like the Mastercard Simplify Payment system for the USA. Subtlety looks OK on the 5-page checkout but when you tick the box for a 1-page checkout, as any shopkeeper would, it looks a bit complicated. There is a button that says "please sign in to see payment methods", even if you disable sign-ins as any shopkeeper would. These glitches are well-discussed in the forums and there are suggestions for a three page version or a one page version. A lot of complexity can be made invisible with the "custom code" css box. It may be possible to make the payment option like Stripe or Paypal show before customers press the "please sign in to see payment methods" button. By default you can translate a lot of the phrases on the cart for your own country or maybe others and there are forum post about how to translate that button. There are free modules for Paypal and Stripe. By the time you have got those two right, you will have the skills to tweak the css files for the rest of your site. Good luck PS This is a crude hack for a one page checkout A subtler 3 page checkout is emerging on the forum now

These modules seem to conk out and do damage as they get more out of date, but they are free to the brave now. There is a thread about them including this post on the sticker module
