What is different from Prestashop Backoffice ?
- The backoffice is a web application, therefore much slower than a Windows application. For example, with the backoffice, each single change on a combination, requires the entire page to be uploaded again. It is ok if you have lot of time to loose. Not us.
- With PrestaPricing, each change is applied instantly, with no wait at all! You can easily navigate from one product to another, swap to another combination, all this on a single click. You can even use the copy-paste between articles.
- The backoffice does not propose any tool to modify prices and quantities of many products at once while PrestaPricing permits mass edit on entire columns and includes many bulk modification tools, on numbers, texts, attributes, features,...
- Some of its advanced tools, like the import tool or the combinations generator and modifier, have no possible comparison with the native tools of Prestashop. Everything here is defined to make you save time.
I use Excell so far. What are the pro-cons of PrestaPricing ?
- PrestaPricing main interface works in real time, connected to the database. Your edits in the tables are immediately taken into account. No need to export/import or even to click on a save button. This is optimum for daily maintenance.
- The native import feature of PrestaShop is very limited. It rapidly crashes above 500 products, while PrestaPricing import can cope with any number of lines (current record is 340 000 products created in one import session, from the same file).
- Prestashop import is also much slower and risky. With PrestaPricing, you have full control and visibility on what to import and how.
Works on all servers?
Yes!
- No need to have a direct (also called "external") access to the MySQL database.
- No need to open the server's port 3306.
- No need to use the SSH protocol (rarely proposed as server option).
- No need to install any pluggin on the server.
