Why can't I set a cheaper price for my module?

[ANTONIOPS]

I developed a module for Prestashop Marketplace (already published), and it currently has a minimum price of 49.99 EUR assigned to it from a list of enforced prices.

I was hoping to offer a more flexible pricing option, considering the module's simple functionality and the fact that it took me less than 2 hours to develop, I believe a price of 50 EUR is not suitable, as it may discourage potential buyers.

I would prefer to make smaller sales at a lower price point, such as 5 or 10 EUR, on a more regular basis (e.g., 5 to 10 times every 2 months). This approach seems more realistic than expecting a sale at 50 EUR once every 2 years, assuming it even sells at that price.

Hi @ANTONIOPS

 

Well, that is how Addons work and you have agreed to follow their rules. Would you prefer is usually not the same as what PrestaShop prefers.

You know that Prestashop takes a cut from every sale, so if you priced them 10 EUR what would be left for them

In terms and conditions, it is all explained how much is their cut and what minimal they can take. But also take into consideration of bank and PayPal fees, then pre-sale support, then preparing documentation, screenshots, marketing, validations...and how much actually is left for you after single sale. 

 

You can try your approach on your own website where you control everything, I did see several developers do something like that. But it is hard to compete with Addons.

Why don't you market it on your own page. If you don't own a page make one and market your plugins. Or look for others who do.
