Prestashop 1.6 url virtual products - prestashop

Is it possible to have virtual products online see in prestasho ? I do not want that downloading is allowed, just want it to look online

Prestashop have Catalog option for disable buying options. Just for product presentation without Add To Cart functionality etc. Product will be available. You can also disable price if You want in Catalog mode.

It is very common, several shops want to be available online only for information and marketing purposes, but don't want to sell online.
Here you have some resources for learn how to activate "Catalog Mode" in PrestaShop 1.6.

Prestashop price edit on checkout

I'm not a Prestashop expert but a customer asked me if there is a way to change the price of individual products during checkout (he has a private ecommerce reserved only for his resellers so all the thing would be under control). I wanted to ask someone more experienced then me if this is at least feasible, if Prestashop (1.7) allows such a change; I tried to search for good among the modules on the store but I did not find any. Thank you.
There are specific prices on prestashop which allow you to define personalized prices for the product according to certain parameters.
Nothing to do with the webservice, but the doc is not very complete and they are not explained on the webservice doc, but you can find them from your back office.

How to display products from external API in prestashop

I want to integrate products from live external api into prestashop 1.6, so user can add them to cart and make orders also.
I found a solution to override the function that call products from Database but the website countaine modules that call products directely from database (it is not solution to override the modules also, because if there is a new ones it hard to do the same work).
I'm waiting for you solutions.
Thank you
In your case I see two solutions:
- You import the products in question in your Prestashop shop
- You change the product classes, Categories, etc ... to no longer query on the database, but on your API

The Payment methods would be like;
Online payment (via credit card, online banking, paypal, master card, visa card, etc)
Other Means (via bank, western union, within the country options, or can visit the head-office and pay it by hand, etc)

Could Prestashop be used to build a craigslist clone?

I'm not so much interested in actually doing this as knowing if Prestashop has the power to allow members to create their own products, classifieds, etc. I've read some articles on Prestashop and played around with it a bit and it looks like the shop owner has to do all the creating and the users consume.
To make client add there own products etc. using prestashop you need to promote all of them at least to managers and grant access to back-office.
But prestashop is just framework as all CMS are. If you have plenty amount of time it is possible to make everything using prestashop source code...
... question is: is it worth?
Especially with the addition of the Webservice in Prestashop 1.4 onwards there's no reason why you couldn't write your own simple "control panel" to give ordinary users some capabilities for creating and managing their own "products".
Obviously you would need to add your own permission scheme (including "ownership") for the products they created, as well as creating the actual product create/edit front end for them.
Definitely possible but non-trivial.

Applying a discount code to a specific product in Shopify

I've been working on setting up a Shopify store. One major feature they don't have built in is being able to provide a discount to a specific product, even though it looks like people have been requesting it since 2008!
Does anyone have any idea how this could be accomplished with their API?
Thanks!
Shopify allows you to offer product-specific discounts. On your Shopify Admin / Dashboard go to Discounts. Click on Add a discount:
On the Discount type section make sure to choose the Specific product from the dropdown:
Click on Save and you're all set. On your discounts list you'll see the generated discount with the conditions along with the product name:
Unfortunately, the Shopify API doesn’t offer product-specific discounts yet. It’s definitely in the pipe, but the feature is not available yet.
