5 Strengths of the Prestashop solution
1. Easy creation of e-commerce stores
PrestaShop claims more than 300 000 customers in many countries, including La Martinique. Online stores created with PrestaShop made more than 15 billion euros in 2018 ( source PrestaShop ).
The reason is simple: PrestaShop allows you to start with a very simple store to which you can add other modules as your online business grows. In other words: by choosing PrestaShop from the beginning, you don’t risk having to start all over again by changing software if your small store becomes a large international online sales platform!

3. Multilingual and multicurrency e-commerce solution
The first advantage of an online store is that it can attract visitors from all over the world. Your e-commerce software must be able to present your products in the languages of your customers, if you want to sell internationally. PrestaShop is a multilingual solution that is very easy to translate into the language of your choice.
Why are you limited to paying in euros if your customers prefer to pay you in dollars or other currencies? Here again, Prestashop knows perfectly well how to adapt and offer your customers different payment methods in the currencies you have authorized.
Altosor Communication will of course help you set up the multilingual and multicurrency mode so that you will have no difficulty adapting your PrestaShop store in Martinique to international markets.
For example, if you add a new language, the most searched keywords in this language will not necessarily be the same as for the French version. Each local Internet market has its own specificities.
No need to worry: Altosor Communication knows how to respond to all the services and can provide you with one of its web editors specialized in SEO. To learn more about this subject, please consult our SEO web writing services.

2. Centralized management of orders and invoices
E-commerce also requires the ability to issue invoices or track customer orders. “Pani pwoblem“as we say in Martinique: PrestaShop software has a well-designed back-office that lets you manage your orders and invoices simply and efficiently:
- Overview of your orders
- Order modification by the administrator (e.g. to help a customer in difficulty)
- Choice of different statuses (in progress, pending, partially paid…)
- E-mail alert for new orders
- PDF printing of a delivery note
- Customizable invoice header for your sign
- Follow-up and reminder of invoices
- Automation of invoicing with your other software (Web services)
- Client follow-up
The list goes on and on, because PrestaShop offers almost everything you can ask for in a software that has to manage the invoicing of an online store. If you want to know more, please contact us:
4. Management of product packs and declinable products
This module of PrestaShop is one of its big advantages: where other software could only propose a list of products classified in categories of a catalog, PrestaShop knows how to manage more complex products such as those that can be declined by size, by color or by type of material for example.
If your e-commerce site in Martinique is for example an online store selling typical Creole clothing, you can very easily decline each product in its different sizes and colors, without having to recreate a new entry in your catalog.
PrestaShop also knows how to combine products to create a new packaged product. The sale of bundles during special events or as a promotional offer is a common practice in the retail industry. PrestaShop’s packaged products feature perfectly replicates this sales method.
Altosor Communication can explain all the marketing possibilities offered by PrestaShop and guide you in the development of a commercial strategy adapted to Martinique, according to the seasons or your type of customers.

2. Creation of the graphic charter of your online store
As in a classic store, the sign, the colors, the layout of your products and the sales pitch that presents them must be carefully studied in order to arouse the most interest from the Internet users coming to visit your online store.
Adapted to e-commerce, these techniques are called “Web Design”. PrestaShop offers a large number of store templates that can be customized to match your web design. Altosor also offers custom-made solutions.
For each of our packages, Altosor Communication provides a Prestashop Web Designer who will work with you to find the best display solution for your store, and propose a graphic charter that highlights your brand and your products.
You don’t have a logo yet? You start directly your activity in the e-commerce? Don’t worry: our Web designers can also create your logo and offer you different layouts based on the PrestaShop templates that will appeal to you most.

3. Creation of the pages of your store
A classic mistake is to believe that all visitors arrive on your site via the home page. Often, the keywords they typed in their search will bring up pages targeted to a product or service. These are called satellite pages. The visitor arrives on the catalog, visits it, makes choices, adds his selections to the basket and finally goes to the ordering process.
This path through your website is calledthe “customer journey“. At Altosor Communication, our marketing experience enables us to build highly effective customer journeys based on your personas (the profiles of your typical customers).
Here again, our experience in this field means you can benefit from valuable marketing strategy advice to help you decide which pages to create for your PrestaShop store. Of course, the software includes all the functionalities to create the essential pages, such as :
- The home page of your site (showcase presenting your products and services).
- Satellite pages (e.g.: product tutorials, customer interviews, etc.).
- The catalog page and its search engine with powerful filters.
- Each product page and its tabs (description, photos, customer reviews…).
- Page to choose the shipping zone and calculate the shipping costs.
- Shopping cart page (listing the selected products).
- Order page.
- Payment page.
- Legal pages (terms of sale, RGPD, contact details of your company).
Depending on the package you subscribe to, our web agency can create all or part of the pages you need for your online store. You will also be provided with page templates and training on how to use them if you wish to create your own pages (e.g. to populate your catalog as you add new products for sale).
Need a little more information on this topic, for example to estimate the budget needed to create a large volume of pages?
4. Prestashop back-office setup
PrestaShop ‘s administration interface is modular in design. It is also possible to allow collaborators to access some of these modules only if you want to have help in the administration of your store. Here are the basic modules of PrestaShop :
- Catalog module: product category management, access to all product data for detailed configuration (brand, supplier, size, color, price, discount, stock…), detailed modification of each product sheet (photo, editorial, technical data…), highlighting of incomplete product sheets, product price management, stock management and alert thresholds…
- Orders module: management of orders with display by type (validated, in progress, abandoned), management of invoices and possible credit notes, delivery notes, shopping carts…
- Customer module: customer list, order history, customer notifications, discounts, authorized work in progress, after-sales service, product returns…
- Statistics module: key indicators (shopping baskets, sales volumes by product or period, sales achieved, monitoring of sales objectives)…
PrestaShop offers a wealth of statistical data that can be exported and combined with other data, for example to compare with data obtained via Google Analytics) or if you use Marketing Automation software, if you wish to automate certain marketing tasks such as sending out newsletters or for mass mailing campaigns.
