Prestashow modules any good?

[30knees]

Has anybody tried the https://prestashow.com/en/ modules and can comment on their quality and the support?

[nickz]

I think there are around 50 to 60 000 modules out there.
Not as stark as the WP plugin galery but equally non attended.

So?

Didn't even know this existed. Looks like it's kept up to date though.

Don't recomended PrestaShow. Good contact at the beginning, after purchasing simple module SMSAPI - no reaction to ticket. Impossible to fix errors (IonCube coding). Old version of guzzlehttp library - unable to work with thirtybees Core Updater. Finnaly orderer SMS Notifications PRO, clean code, well-written module. I added support for SMSAPI.COM gate, it works great. 🙂

Super Notifications PRO: https://addons.prestashop.com/en/mobile/23238-sms-notifications-pro-all-in-one-sms-tools.html

Thanks, Adik.

By the way, do a lot of customers sign up for SMS notifications? Might be a nice thing to offer. I've noticed that customers don't always check their emails.

Yes, most customers choose notification by SMS. At work, you don't always have access to e-mail, mobile phone is in your pocket. Customer receives notification about  shipped order (waybill number, carrier). SMS about a abandoned cart is great feature. Administrator receives notification about a new order and new account.

So far, I have been using the PrestaSMS plug-in (TOPunek s.r.o.), but there are problems with gateway, SMS messages arrive next day or not at all. Module slows down backoffice, a lot of unnecessary JS effects.
