PrestaShop Using your PrestaShop store effectively
PrestaShop With PrestaShop, you can configure scenes. In concrete terms, in one picture your customers can access a variety of products by clicking on the desired item; for example, the jumper, jeans and shoes worn by the model (see picture).

To configure them, go to "Catalogue" and open the "scenes" tab. Click "new" to create a new scene and start to configure it. Give it a name and upload a picture by clicking "Browse". To define a product, click the location (ex: the jumper) and type the product name (ex: wool jumper) in the search bar which appears under the picture.

Repeat the operation with all products in the picture (ex: jeans and shoes) and once you have finished, choose the category where you want the scene to appear.

Now your scene is operational, and by mousing over the picture in your shop, your customers will be able to see a preview of the product, its price and its description.
PrestaShop Decorate your shop with the ideal theme
PrestaShop Discover the "Mobilier" theme with a very sober, on-trend design. This fashionable theme stands out in its sobriety and simplicity, and will therefore be perfect for your shop. Decoration, technology, fashion, music, or books, use it to decorate your shop in your own style.

Boutique Shop of the week
Hypermeubles Hypermeubles offers contemporary furniture directly from factories in Europe and Asia. By ordering products as soon as they leave the factory, this shop benefits from discounts of 20% to 40% and passes them on to customers, enabling them to enjoy low prices all year round.

His advice: «Reassure your customers a little more each day by advising them, pointing them towards items, informing them about your terms for exchanging products and so on. A hotline open from 9 am to 10 pm all week is essential to achieve this goal. I recommend having a minimum amount of products in stock. This will prevent problems with the after-sales service or exchanges. Also take time to list your site properly, by filling in PrestaShop's SEO fields in particular. Finally, remember to take care over the content and photos in your shop, as this has a considerable effect in terms of sales and conversion rates.»

His opinion of PrestaShop: «The solution's many features and the wealth of modules available on the Addons site make PrestaShop a very practical e-commerce solution.»
