In our online store we have a question like "Would you allow delivery of the product by hand to children with cancer?" If the customer clicks option, the products in his basket are delivered to a children with cancer ilness later and the shipment price is decreased from the total ( recalculated) on the screen. Then customer pays the cost and the process ends.
Nowadays I am renewing my ebusiness-store. How can I do this in prestashop? I asked a friend he thinks that maybe we can do this bithday present module but we are really not sure how can we do this ? I even do not know which module is it?
I will be very happy if I can solve this problem.
I'm not sure this is really a programming question, but I think it will not be too hard to do this. We have in our Prestashop website a shipping option of "Pick up item in store", with a shipping cost of $0. If you have an option like this, then simply call it "Would you allow delivery of the product by hand to children with cancer?" instead.
Basically, under "Shipping" in the Prestashop back office, click on "Carriers", and add a new 'carrier' called "Would you allow delivery of the product by hand to children with cancer?" Then under "Shipping"->"Shipping" you go to the section "Fees by carrier, geographical zone and ranges", and enter in $0 for everything.
The exact menu names seem to change with every Prestashop version, but this is the basic idea. The buyer will see this option along with all the other carriers, so it's not quite as highlighted and split out as you might wish during the order process, but it won't require any modification of the PHP, and should do the job.

I have a retail website built in Shopify Plus that is fed by an ERP. A couple times a month at least, I have sale events where some (not all) items get varying levels of discounts (I'll call this my store-wide sale), but my ERP doesn't have the ability to schedule temporary price changes.
I also have unrelated discounts that happen at the item level outside the store-wide sale cycle, so the solution needs to be able these to the store-wide sale price for that item and choose the lower of the two.
I can manually change all my prices with immediate effect in the ERP to start the sale and then manually do it again to put them back to the way it was, but that's time consuming, and normally needs to happen outside business hours. If I change the price in Shopify, the ERP just over-writes them.
Is this possible? Is there a solution short of implementing a PIM that will allow me to schedule my price changes in this way?
I was thinking of potentially keeping my store-wide discounts in a metafield and/or a tag on each item and using a script to do the math, pick the best price, and change the price at the line level in cart and maybe Javascript to over-write price displayed on the PDP and PLP to show that same price.
I realised a lot of merchants needed this, so I built an app for this. I'm sure it will do exactly as you need.

Hello Shopify Developers.
I'm a newbie on Shopify. How can we add a tab in product pages as Dimensions? Through this tab, we should be able to edit and change the dimensions for each specific product.
Would you give me a suggestion to do that? please teach me.
Best regards, Siva.
Shopify is not designed to allow customers to enter custom dimensions and have that affect the final price of the item.
However, this can be accomplished in principle through some roundabout steps, which involve a hidden priced product and a fair bit of javascript and the use of line-item properties to link everything together.
If you're feeling ambitious and want to make such a system yourself, the basic flow would be:
Create a product that either has a $0.01 value (or whatever the lowest denomination is in your currency) or a value of whatever the cost-per-smallest-unit that you want to sell by
Update your store templates so that any products that are marked as a component product (via tags, metafields, product type, or whatever you choose to go with) do not get displayed on collection pages, search results, etc.
For your product pages that need custom dimensions, you will need to create any relevant input fields and add whatever formulas you need to convert user inputs into units of your component product
When the item is added to cart, you will need custom javascript to add the correct quantity of the component item at the same time that the main/visible item is added to the cart. At this step, I would recommend adding line-item properties to both items that would identify that they belong together.
You will need to update your cart to hide the component product and add its price to the main/visible item for display purposes, and the quantity-update and item-remove features in your cart to make sure that when the main/visible product is updated or removed the component product is updated appropriately as well.
This can be quite the undertaking to try to take on yourself, so if any of the above steps seem daunting I would strongly recommend looking for an app in Shopify's app store that can do these steps for you. There are a lot of product option/customization apps available, and many of them have free trials that you can take advantage of to see if they meet your needs.
Of course, if you have the skills and ambition to take this project on, great! The above flow should hopefully get you started, and if you need further advice on any specific step feel free to ask another question.
In my Sylius shop, I would like to make some products available only for my website premium users.
I managed to set up a promotion rule for premium users, according to the documentation : How to add a custom promotion rule?
My problem is that I can't figure out how to create a promotion action, making selected products available only to premium users. And these products need also to be seen by standard customers.
Is a promotion action a good way to achieve this purpose ?
I don't know if promotions are the best you can use in this feature. There is no discount/profit for the customer, it's just a limitation of product for specific customer group. I would solve this with two simple steps:
Add $premium flag on Product entity.
Implement a listener (or even better - a validator) that would check the currently logged in customer groups and if there is no premium, then break adding product to cart and display proper message.
Of course, you could create a promotion action that would remove products from cart that customer can't buy, but let's be honest, it'd be ridiculous ;)
Let me know if it's clear or you need any more help with that!
By default my store does not allow for backorders. I want some products to be allowed. So I go at the product and change it to allow it. So far so good.
My issue is when someone backorder that product. I want the system to automatically change its status to "ON BACKORDER" (which it's not doing) and, when I have the product on stock it change it again to payment accepted.
Is that a way of doing so? If so, how?
Thanks a lot guys
EDIT
What I would like to do is this:
I want to star selling a product which will only be available 10 days from now, for instnace.
So I add it with zero stock and choose "Allow backorder"
When a client order this product and pay for it, I want their order's status to be set to BACKORDER and for then to receive an e-mail informing this
So do you want that a customer has no ability to buy products that are on backorder? Because now it works how it should be: if product is out of stock=you can't buy it, if it's on backorder=you can buy it with so called negative store level. What you're trying to achieve is probably called Waiting list and is not a default Prestashop behaviour. There are few paid extension on addons.prestashop.com for this
on my website I sell unique items. I have programmed it so that on the selling page, users can select any amount of these items, and it calculates the cost. The key is that I only have 1 of each of these items. So I need the shopping cart system to not allow the payment to go through unless it is available.
I've been searching for a good quick/easy/cheap solution and can't find one. I don't expect this site to make a lot of money (the transactions are a few bucks), so I didn't want to need a ssl certificate.
The only way I know of not needing an ssl certificate would be to use paypal or google checkout. However, I do not think there is a way of using these services and making paypal's server run a script to check how many are available on the site. Any solution?
Thanks
I was thinking about it more, and I think the problem is that once the user gets to the paypal payment screen, I have no control. I guess I could do something like they click the buy it now link, a php script updates it to sold, then they go to the paypal screen, but then they might not continue the purchase...
If you use PayPal Website Payments Standard (using a cart rather than 'Buy Now' Buttons) then you could use IPN or PDT (see the paypal docs here) to get PayPal to call back to you with the status of the payment.
The work flow would then be to set status to reserved when the item is added to the cart, and then wait for the IPN/PDT call to come back with the payment status, and mark the item as sold.
You would still need to check and reset to available any item that had been reserved for longer than say 2 Hours. (You could do this before serving a page to a user so that they have the latest availability and you don't need a cron job or long running process)
If you could provide a little more information about how you have implemented ur shopping card, it would have been more easier for other to assist! If you are using any ecommerce solution then it should be there already in the track inventory section. But Provided that you have implemented d shopping cart manually, why don't you add little bit of codes that checks the inventory status first before letting your customers check out?
