Maybe not everyone will get all lovey-dovey and starry-eyed in February, but because of the increased sales opportunity, marketplace sellers and online store owners will love this time.

The pandemic hit the lives hard but Valentine’s week is the chance to show your love, care, and affection to the person closest to your heart. People will surprise one another with gifts and for that online shopping will be their first choice.

Is your eCommerce store ready to sell love for Valentine’s love week?

I am sharing a list of 7 PrestaShop modules that will add love vibes to your eCommerce store

1. Build your Storefront with a Romantic Look

This is probably one of the most all-time things shop owners can think of during Valentine’s Week preparation: decorating the store to make this romantic day look and feel like it.

Showing people Valentine’s Day spirit in your store will boost the customer shopping experience. It also inspires them to purchase more, particularly when your design layout is eye-catching.

Different header elements, footer elements, and other random elements are available and a special holiday discount coupon strip can be displayed at the footer.

2. Sell Love themed Products

It can be a real challenge to buy presents for loved ones, whether it’s a best friend, better half, or other, especially if you want to stray from the conventional equation of candy-flowers-teddy bear.

Loved-themed custom gifts from the customer are a perfect way to shower love on their special one. It is a perfect opportunity to showcase items that may not necessarily have been thought about by your audience.

Custom design products like a coffee mug, books, love quotes printed t-shirts, and other such products can be designed and personalized.

3. Let them Buy Valentine Special Gift Card

Valentine’s Day is a high-yielding time for gift-giving, unlike other holiday times, such as Christmas or Black Friday, which is more likely to inspire personal purchases.

To find the ideal gift for their loved ones, friends, and family, shoppers usually browse through different websites. Why not let your shoppers give photo-printed personalized e-Gift cards to their loved ones?

On your PrestaShop website, the Gift Card module adds a gift card section and provides you with pre-existing gift card templates for various occasions, including Valentine’s Day.

For last-minute campaigns, a perfect idea for a flash sale is to create a separate page that includes all the products with discounts. Chocolates, mugs, and heart-shaped pieces make perfect flash sales items for Valentine’s Day.

Promote your sales and define the deal rules in advance with PrestaShop Advanced Promotion Manager. It has several templates and customized options available for the store owner.

The owner of the store will boost both customer loyalty and website sales. This Valentine’s Day, don’t let the visitor go away without making the purchase.

Exit popups also ensure that, unlike other popups that can appear at any point in time, the user experience is preserved until the very last moment. In addition, you can use PrestaShop Exit Popup as an entry pop-up too.

7. Offer Seamless Home Delivery of the Products

Everybody wants to surprise their loved ones on Valentine’s Day. Thus, giving an anonymous gift delivery to your customers reveals how thoughtfully you handle your customers.

How to create Prestashop Module Webservice API for Prestashop 1.7?

We will show you how to create a module to fetch customers. For this, we will register a hook addWebserviceResources of ServiceRequest for the resources instead of overriding getResources() function of ServiceRequest Class in Prestashop 1.7.

Creating custom web service APIs in Prestashop 1.7 involves using the WebserviceSpecificManagement class. This allows you to define specific functionalities and manage data processing. For instance, implementing the WebserviceSpecificManagementKbCustomer class lets you handle customer data efficiently. Therefore, this approach provides a flexible and robust solution for extending Prestashop’s capabilities, enabling tailored interactions with your store’s data. By leveraging these advanced customization options, you can create more dynamic and responsive eCommerce solutions that meet unique business needs.

1. Register addWebserviceResources hook in the module.

public function install() {

parent::install();

$this->registerHook('addWebserviceResources');

return true;

}

2. Add a hook listener to define the class and description. Set specific_management to true if you want to use WebserviceSpecificManagement instead of ObjectModel file.

public function hookAddWebserviceResources()

{

return array(

'kbcustomer' => array(

'description' => 'Knowband Custom Customer',

'specific_management' => true,

),

'kbaddress' => array(

'description' => 'Knowband Custom Address',

'class' => 'kbaddress'

)

);

}

3. Create WebserviceSpecificManagement class file as WebserviceSpecificManagementCLASSNAME which implements WebserviceSpecificManagementInterface

For Example – WebserviceSpecificManagementKbCustomer which is similar to /classes/webservice/WebserviceSpecificManagementImages.php.

You must have to include the functions which are defined in WebserviceSpecificManagementImages.php class. These are:

setObjectOutput
setWsObject
getWsObject
getObjectOutput
setUrlSegment
getUrlSegment
getContent
manage (where data is processed)

1. Now add the key having resource kbcustomer in the web service in the back-office.

2. Now, visit the https://{youstore.com}/api/kbcustomer to see the response in XML. In the below example, we display the listing of all customer available in the store.

Add include_once(_PS_MODULE_DIR_.’YOURMODULENAME/classes/WebserviceSpecificManagementKbCustomer.php’);

in your module file.

class WebserviceSpecificManagementKbcustomer implements WebserviceSpecificManagementInterface

{

/** @var WebserviceOutputBuilder */

protected $objOutput;

protected $output;



/** @var WebserviceRequest */

protected $wsObject;



public function setUrlSegment($segments)

{

$this->urlSegment = $segments;

return $this;

}



public function getUrlSegment()

{

return $this->urlSegment;

}

public function getWsObject()

{

return $this->wsObject;

}



public function getObjectOutput()

{

return $this->objOutput;

}



/**

* This must be return a string with specific values as WebserviceRequest expects.

*

* @return string

*/

public function getContent()

{

return $this->objOutput->getObjectRender()->overrideContent($this->output);

}



public function setWsObject(WebserviceRequestCore $obj)

{

$this->wsObject = $obj;

return $this;

}



/**

* @param WebserviceOutputBuilderCore $obj

* @return WebserviceSpecificManagementInterface

*/

public function setObjectOutput(WebserviceOutputBuilderCore $obj)

{

$this->objOutput = $obj;

return $this;

}



public function manage()

{

$objects_products = array();

$objects_products['empty'] = new Customer();

$customer_list = Customer::getCustomers();

foreach ($customer_list as $list) {

$objects_products[] = new Customer($list['id_customer']);

}

$this->_resourceConfiguration = $objects_products['empty']->getWebserviceParameters();

$this->output .= $this->objOutput->getContent($objects_products, null, $this->wsObject->fieldsToDisplay, $this->wsObject->depth, WebserviceOutputBuilder::VIEW_LIST, false);

}

}

The below screenshot provide you the visual of the output:

If you want the output in JSON format then append &output_format=JSON at the end of the URL. For example: https://{yourstore.com}/api/kbcustomer&output_format=JSON

Output: {“customers”:[{“id”:1},{“id”:2},{“id”:3},{“id”:4},{“id”:5},{“id”:6},{“id”:7},{“id”:8},{“id”:9},{“id”:10},{“id”:11},{“id”:12},{“id”:13},{“id”:14},{“id”:15},{“id”:16},{“id”:17},{“id”:18},{“id”:19},{“id”:20},{“id”:21}]}
