Prestashop Marketplace Directory Listing

Prestashop Marketplace Directory Listing will add the directory feature to the site.

That is the site will list the search results not based on the keywords but based on the categories and the sub-categories.

The searching is not done for the individual page but for all the pages for the category. The search category in this module is by products, shop, seller and location of the shop.

The sellers will register themselves and can add their products. But it’s up to the admin whether the admin wants the seller products price and add to cart button to display or not.

The list of the sellers on the site will also be available at a single place.

The package also contains the marketplace membership module. Configure the module to create membership plans for the sellers.

You can also choose to provide free membership plan to sellers.

Note:

Note: Sellers can buy the free membership plan only once. Let’s say, if the seller has purchased a free membership plan, then they can not see an option to buy free plan again in the future.

If Seller request for the Free Membership plan, then it will be automatically activated and will appear at the sellers end like the way shown in the picture below.

Admin-End

After installing membership module, two tabs ‘Membership Plans’ and ‘Seller’s Plan Detail’ will add under Marketplace.

Membership Plans

Under this tab, list of all the plans that admin has created for the sellers will display with an option to either edit or delete plan.

Admin can create a new membership plan by clicking on “Add new plan button” or by clicking on the symbol “+”

After clicking on the “add new plan” button, fill in all the details like Plan name, Plan price etc. and click on Save.

Go to Marketplace Management-> Seller’s Plan Detail
Seller requested plans will be shown at admin end.

Note: Pending request will set to zero if all the requested plans of a particular seller are activated by the admin.
