What' s for ?
PrestaCategories allows to easily and quickly manage your Prestashop e-commerce catalog, by providing amazing tools to move, edit, clone, and activate categories and their content.
It permits for example:
-To move all or a subset of products from one family to another (default category)
-To clone a tree or selection of categories under any others target categories, with or without their products, scenes, discounts,...
-To move a selection or a tree (or a selection of trees) of families to a different location in the tree (in one click !)
-To make visible or not, a selection or all products of a category or a selection of categories
-To activate /deactivate a set of products and / or categories
-To create new, edit (HTML form included), delete categories, in all languages.
-To quickly visualize the list of products of one or more categories (selection possible between "visible" products and products having this category as default category).
-Taxes prices calculated for any country / state (from Prestashop V1.4)
-To identify orphin categories and to repair broken parent-child liaisons
Connection to ALL servers
Like PrestaPricing, PrestaCategories is a Windows application which connects to the database by https in a totally secure manner (password is not transmitted, 16bits coding key).
It uses a special connection module for Prestashop (MPRApplicationConnect), provided with the application. The connection works even on shared servers, without requiring opening the 3306 port. It does NOT need to activate the SSH protocol either.
The latest version of this MPRApplicationConnect, V1.4, is compatible with Prestashop V1.4.
PrestaPricing V2 is now multi-sites (multi sites licence available as option).
Known limitations:
It is not possible to creation new images and scenes of categories.
Does not allow Excell importation.
When cloning a category and its content, there is no creation of new products. The products of the cloned category are simply declared visible in the new categories.
Future evolutions:
Management and creation of images.
Excell import.
Purchase of the current version is giving free access to all future versions during six months.
Languages:
Available in French and English.
Support 14 alphabets.
Compatibility:
Fully tested with Prestashop versions 1.2, 1.3 et 1.4
Not working on 1.1.x and earlier versions of Prestashop
License rights and limitations:
Please read the included license for more details.
The mon-site license is valid for one PC and one site only.
If you plan to use the application on multiple sites, you have to purchase a multi sites license (still one for each PC used). Cheaper than buying multiple licenses, even if our price is highly digressive.
When purchased with a multi sites license, the application will allows you to save and retrieve the connection parameters for all you site. A must have feature.
If you are a developer of sites for customers, you must purchase one license for each of their PC, in case you plan to distribute this application with your product or service.
For high volumes of users or PCs, please contact us for a quotation.
