Selling a bundle of products on Prestashop

There are several ways to offer a bundle of products to your customers.
The best way is to prepare a packed product.

***

There is already a built-in option for you when you create a new product or manage an existing one.

Change product type to Pack of existing products
Search and add 2 or more existing products into the pack
How many items should be included in the pack
Finish adding each item

Of course, you have to give it a name, set quantity of the pack, price etc… Now, your pack is available for purchase.

***

As a visitor / customer, she will see this pack as a normal product. But she also has a chance to know content of that pack, like how many items in the pack, quantity of each item, price of each separated item…

Especially, she is free to decide what to purchase:

– OR purchase the whole pack with all defined items in the pack with the good price

– OR purchase each of single item in the pack.

***

Packed product is a very awesome built-in feature of Prestashop. It’s really good when you want to give a special offer or a combo of several related products or accessories. But considering myself as a shopper, I have only 2 choices: or check out the combo, or check out some of items. Ah, maybe 1 more choice: NO PURCHASE

Module Accessories Pro is put in place to solve the problem, for both, buyer and seller. Module Accessories Pro is just like packed products, but more flexible.

As a seller, beyond the great features of packed product, I can decide how they’re displayed to my customers.

As a buyer, I can decide:

Which items to buy
How many quantities to buy
All in 1 click

Download and give it a try.

Here is a simple tip for you guys who want to customize the invoices generated by Prestashop.

As soon as payment is accepted, as an administrator or sale man, you now can view the invoice just with 1 click from the back office (Orders).

Some people asked me how to customize the invoices.

This is my answer:

Log in to your Prestashop back office
Locate to Orders, then view detail of an order

Oach, something’s wrong?

Give me 1 second.

…

Oh, I’m sorry, I should install module Custom Invoices at first. Okay, download here and set it up as a standard module.

Now, back to the steps.

Log in to your Prestashop back office
Locate to Orders, then view detail of an order
Click on “Upload custom invoices”
Select one or several custom invoices, then upload immediately.

That’s it! Enjoy uploading custom invoices directly in your Prestashop.

Australia Post – how it was made

by NGUYỄN THANH TÙNG ⋅ Leave a Comment

Well, it’s a long story.

Several years ago, my friend – Nitzan – started developing the first version of Australia Post which only supports the current Prestashop at that time. So he owns Australia Post 1.0 – works with Prestashop 1.3.x.

Nitzan, he was a busy man, always! The module got more sales, and of course, more tickets coming up and making a long queue. He was really stuck with that. Users had to wait for weeks to get answered, then next a few weeks to get another response. Everything went down pretty quickly.

At the end of 2012, we met each other, we talked about that a lot…

Phew, finally, Nitzan gave all accesses to me, and we became the co-owner of the module. Then, I would be responsible for everything. Development. Support. Marketing. The overall rating was super slow – 2.0 stars. My goal was to draw a new picture about Australia Post and a new picture about the people behind.

Let’s talk about “me”, yes, a quite lazy guy but felt in love with Prestashop. And that’s it. I did not know much enough about business around. I did know how a shipping module works. I did not have any experience about maintaining a simple product. I started from ZERO, literally as well as figuratively.

I tried to understand the work-flow of the module.

I tried to reply to all tickets as fast as I can. I did that at first in the morning and one more time when closing my laptop’s lid and turning off the light at middle night.

I got questions. I got new requests from existing users. Yeah, that’s really cool. I did not think about $$$, honestly, but closing my eyes and imagining about an upcoming version. Enjoy dreaming – working hard – getting in touch with users. Day by day, I grew up; Australia Post guy was “grown up” too; as if both of guys were born together

If you were me, how would you feel when receiving such comments?

Excellent module and excellent support. Needed customized code for certain categories and was fixed in no time.

Awesome Support from the developer, Great solution for getting accurate shipping costs in Australia.

Very well done and easy to use module. This makes it a lot easier for me to ship products without having to calculate and apply rates myself. Had a problem with installation and contacted support and they fixed it for me straight away (and installed a new version on top of that). If you need to use Australia post for your shipping I would strongly recommend this module!

And here is all our effort – 5 stars over 5!

You will have no choice than smiling all the days for sure. Wanna bet?

Wait! That’s not the end of the story. One day, we asked ourselves – Why don’t we give Australia Post for free? The answer is so simple: Yes, why’s not! Thanks for that, Australia Post basic is designed for you. If your shop is not a big one, Australia Post basic is a very good start.
