Hi Great post, thanks !
I’m looking for elementor. Do you know if there is a free version or an alternative ?
I very much appreciate it. Thank you for this excellent article. Keep posting!
There is a re-branded version of Prestashop 1.6 with loads of free modules compared to PS1.7 – including Facebook Pixel Module mentioned above. Readers might have heard of it already because it is on a couple of the software installers – Softaculous and Installatron or maybe it’s Softaculous and Fantastico, but anyway your host might allow you to install a test site with one or two clicks. It is called Thirtybees.
Another favourite module that works with both Prestashop and Thirtybees is Prestoolsuite on Prestools.com . It’s a freemium program that installs in the same folder as your back office and lets you read your stock data and look at your photos in a different way than the back office. You can see a lot of photos side by side for example.
Stripe payments is a great alternative to Paypal. The only known catch is that you cannot refund more than you first charged, so if (like me) you sometimes mess-up and want to pay the customer return postage, then you have to find another way.
