Prestools was started in 2012 by putting together a small selection of tools for Prestashop. It has since grown steadily to become a comprehensive set of tools for maintaining Prestashop and Thirty Bees. It is one of the most popular downloads on the Prestashop forum.
Prestools operates outside the backoffice what allows it to be very fast. It supports multiple user accounts and logging.
The main parts are:
product-edit: great options for mass editing more than 50 product fields. Add categories, change prices, update descriptions - for hundreds of products at once.
product csv: a flexible tool to generate csv files.
product-sort: an easy way to sort products inside a category. From position 500 to 1 in a blink. With the visual sort option you can see immediately how things will look.
prodcombi: edit and oversee properties of combinations of a number of products at once.
order-edit: adding and deleting products and changing prices without problems.
order-search: make a selection on carrier, payment type, status, etc. or just search. With csv export option.
category-edit: useful for editing metadata and descriptions for SEO
combi-edit: assign pictures to your combinations quickly
combi-copy and combi-delete: copy, modify and delete attribute combinations using one product as a template
attribute-list and feature-list: see how many products use each feature and attribute and get a product list.

cleanup images: save on disk space by cleaning up images of deleted products
shop rescue: turn off overrides and non-Prestashop modules when due to some bug you can no longer login in the backoffce.

Installation: Unzip the downloaded file and copy the resulting files to a subdirectory below your admin directory (do not install as a PS module!).You can access the program in the browser like "www.myshop.com/myadmin/mydir/login1.php". You will be welcomed by a login screen: the default username is "[email protected]" and the default password is "opensecret". Please adapt your security settings in the "settings1.php" file. There is a mini-module included for integration into the backoffice.
There is a demo-installation available. Username and password are the default. Below you find a view of the product-edit page where the description field has been made editable:
Prestools is compatible with Prestashop 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 8 and Thirty Bees.
There are a few parts in product-edit that you need to buy at the Prestools website. However, over 95% of the script is free.
Among the files you will find a file prestoolssuite-module.zip. You can install this file as a module. It adds a link to your Prestools installation in the Catalog menu of the backoffice.
If you find a problem, please update Prestools to its latest version before you report it here. When reporting, please mention your Thirty Bees version.
Follow the installation instructions! This is not a module!
