Prestabox Installed, What To Do Next?

[ezb]

Hello,

 

I have opened a shop with a2hosting (version 1.5.3.1) and I have used their automatic installation. I want to ask a couple of question for newbies hoping these questions will help more people on my situation.

 

 

Just few comments before asking few questions:

 

I really like the Prestashop design and interface, but information seem to lack (manuals and wiki). I'm still intrigued and liking the experience. However having a shopping cart ready to sell is less easier than I thought.

I also found difficult to find free modules (or even paid one) I have been looking for. Per example, I cant find a Canada post module in the free Prestashop module directory. Same for the ebay one.

 

Few questions:

 

1- Should I subscribe to the "VentureOne" small business (Canada Post) program to use their shipping quote scripts? Or for that matter any other benefits joining the program?

2- If no free Canada Post module available, what are the paying alternatives ??

 

3- I would like to know if there is any free and working eBay good module for ebay.com or ebay.ca ? (yes I would like to list items in CAD since Pay Pal dont want people outside US to cash in USD, so they can make even more money.)

4- What are the eBay paying modules ? I know of the Involic (prestabay) one that seem to be very good. Any other alternatives ?

 

5- I would like to know where I can find text examples of privacy, and terms of conditions of use ?

6- Currencies: I will be selling in CAD, should I keep other currencies ? Only one currency should be enabled or the others are for reference only??

 

7-Can I easily enable other languages (translations), or it would cause me problems that would might need more config job??

8-"Import Localisatiion pack"... arent already this default or I should play with this before being able to sell worldwide?

 

 

 

 

How much would a developer ask me to do the following tasks?

- remove all the Prestashop messages, like "powered by ps"

- do an overall check

- polish some options"steups/configs

 

 

Thanks a lot.

Also, I realize I cannot afford the developers referred by Prestashop in their homepage. They seem to be the cream of cream, the top, but very expensive for me. So I wonder if you guys could recommend other good developers and programmers that are not listed in the reference partner page but are also very good ?

ezb, you should try the fedex shipping module, it's free and working good as long as you do what's needed:

 

1. create a fedex account

2. follow instructions on this page:

http://ihostticket.com/KB/a318/how-to-get-a-fedex-meter-number.aspx

 

3. Save your meter number and authentication key

 

4. you will receive an email with more infos:

- Production Password

- FedEx Account Number

- Production Meter Number

 

5. configure the fedex shipping module with the informations you received:

- fedex account

- Meter Number(Production meter number)

- Fedex Password(Production password)

- Fedex Authentication Key

 

And complete the module config with your preferences.

MP, thanks, merci for your tips. But I cant use fedex or UPS internationally because it is too expensive. Salut, David.
