I use mailchimp for newsletters and they offer a code snippet you can place on your page to display a newsletter signup form. I cannot figure out how to add a block on the left side to display this signup form. I dont want to use the built in newsletter form and want to turn it off and replace it with the mailchimp code to display a form. I dont see how to make a block and have it show the snippet. any help is appreciated!

I would love to see an ebay module for the US!!!

My store has a section with hundreds of ebooks. How can I import these products? On the import where it lists available fields, I do not see anything that mentions if it is a download, or the download file location. Can someone explain how to accomplish this, or let me know if it is impossible and I need to do it manually?

I have the same issue. the core prestashop features lack many things... they need the ability to import a CVS and set which field triggers a match to update the record. For example, if the name matches, update the record... many times we cannot match IDs due to them being auto entered in presta. They also need the ability to delete only certain groups of products - by category, by mfg, by supplier... so we can reload a supplier or mfgs info if we want. and they need more up to date documentation on advanced use.

i tried to import a csv with the ID NAME and QTY, but it did not work - it didnt update the items, instead it created new items in a non-defined category I cannot figure out how to update items with an import. Is this even possible in Prestashop, or am I stuck with a manual update process or a delete all items and reload situation each time?

I have loaded my store with products via a csv import file. It contained a field for qty, and everything imported properly. However, as I am selling offline and my inventory changes, including what is available for drop ship from my supplier, I need to be able to refresh my product list with a new available qty How can I update my products qty and sometimes even the price? On the import function there is no "match this key" setting for telling it to update if it exists. Prestashop set the ID on import, so there isnt even an ID to match.

I have been struggling to get the shipping set up how I want. I want: within the US - a flat rate of 4.75 shipping (using carrier of my choice) outside the US - based rates on USPS parcel post I can provide the login to my store and pay your fee via paypal. Can someone help me? I can afford a small modest fee - for a prestashop [spam-filter] this should be something quick.

Have you found a way to do this? I am in a similar situation. im trying to figure out how to accomplish the following, but am not having much luck… I would like to set shipping to have two options: $4.75 flat rate to anywhere in the US To be quoted rate anywhere else in the world It would work like this: US customers would only get the $4.75 shipping option. Customers outside the US would get the To be quoted – and it would create an order, but not require them to pay for it – somewhat like an order that gets printed to mail a check. I would research the best rate based on the order and let them know. If they take it, I would process, otherwise Id delete the order.

have you found a way to do this? I need something similar - flat rate shipping to the US, and have the order created, but not paid for the rest of the world - where I contact them with a shipping quote.

is there a document or guide that covers these types of tweaks?

anyone else running into this?

any way to delete the order?

I think I know what the issue is. By default, new webtool accounts are set for test server. Prestashop is coded for production servers. Webtool users need to request to be switched to production access: Your Web Tools User ID, shown above, is required to test and integrate USPS Web Tools APIs. With this ID, you may begin sending calls to the test server. Depending on the API, the address to the test server is either http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll or https://secure.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll. Use this information in combination with your User ID and your XML string to send a request to the USPS servers. For more details, refer to the programming guides (located at http://www.usps.com/webtools) for the specific API you are integrating. A sample test request would look like: "http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll?API=[API_Name]&XML;=[xml_String_containing_User_ID]" When you have completed your testing, email the USPS Internet Customer Care Center (ICCC). They will switch your profile to allow you access to the production server and will provide you with the production URLs.

I too get the try again message. I know my account is active for web tools - as I was using with my other shop solution and it worked fine.

Im getting this too. USPS says nothing is wrong on thier end

How can I delete the order that is part of the sample data? I see how to delete all the products, categories, and the john doe customer - but the order seems to not be able to be deleted, only cancelled... which if I delete the products, customer ect, seems like it will be a problem record

I have been struggling with Prestashops import functionality for weeks. I have a csv file that is in the prestashop format. Ive attached a small sample here that the issue occurs. What is happening is that not all of the records import. The ones that do not import get thier IMAGE URLs listed with the next item. For example, on the attached CSV when I load it the 4th record does not import, and its image url gets listed with record 5. You can see this in action at http://www.magicvault.net/presta/product.php?id_product=4 I see nothing wrong with the data in the csv, so I do not know why this occurs. I can reproduce it every time if I wipe the database out and try again – it happens every time. Can someone try importing this into a test shop of thiers, or look over the csv to see if you see anything… or maybe you know of an issue with presta shop that needs a workaround? Im at a loss of how to fix this and really need help. shorttestcsv.csv

anyone have a test store they can load the csv and see if you can duplicate this? I am desperate for help.

Does anyone see any issues with the CSV? I dont know if its an issue with the data, or something in prestashop itself.

I will send anyone that can help me resolve this a free item from my store - something fun and unique! Im in desperate need to get this resolved.
