I'm using Prestashop 1.5.6 and I'd need to set a different total price for an order depending on the chosen method, some modules work intermediating with credit cards (like Mercado Pago module) and I'd need to increase the price in that case, is this possible to do it with the functionality of the shop itself, is there a module , a workaround or something? The module of the payment method I need to increase the price doesn't allow to be configured in that sense.
This feature is not supported by PrestaShop up to 1.5.6. So far PrestaShop 1.6 will not support that either. You will need to search for a module for that.
This module claims to support that feature:
http://addons.prestashop.com/en/checkout-modules/3495-additional-payment-fees.html
but one client that uses it said it's not working properly and they had to tweak the core Moneybookers & PayPal modules to add fees feature. Also the developer did not respond very friendly when issues were reported, so it's up to you if you'll use it or will search for another.

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.

I'm new to Prestashop but perfectly able to modify the sources.
How could I limit access to a given product to only one given group 24 hours before the other groups ?
Thanks for answering this.
By default Prestashop does not offer this feature. You can enable or disable access for the whole group which apply for all products.
You will need to write a module your self or buy a module which does this for you.
Searching the WWW i have found this module which is free (http://store.nemops.com/free-modules/44-product-access.html) however not compatible with 1.7. With some basic PHP knowledge you can easily upgrade the module to 1.7.
You can also find multiple paid modules which does this for you (https://addons.prestashop.com/en/search?search_query=product%20access)
I am working on a client site and the majority of what they sell is fabric sold by the yard, with a minimum of .25 yards per purchase.
The client INSISTS that he wants the end user to enter a decimal into the quantity field to order the amount of fabric she wants and so far I haven't been able to talk him out of this requirement.
They currently use Miva because it supports this particular requirement (through a module). I'd prefer not to work with Miva if I can help it, so I'm turning to you guys!
So far, I've found two additional options for handling decimal quantities:
Magento
Zen Cart
Anyone know of any other options? I'm open to anything right now (hosted, open source, whatever), just want to see all the options for this one specific weird requirement.
Thanks!
You could go for TYPO3 Multishop. Also open source and with a tiny adjustment it supports decimals as quantity input. You can see it in action on the following web page:

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.

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.
