PrestaPro LTD Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hello everyone, I have bad news ... You are 95% likely to lose sales right now. Situation: I have at least 5 computer themes and what do you think? In similar products, none of them! You can see this in person: https://addons.prestashop.com/en/electronics-computers-themes/21652-supermarket-store.html https://addons.prestashop.com/en/electronics-computers-themes/17975-claster-smart-watches-shop.html https://addons.prestashop.com/en/electronics-computers-themes/22650-duos-electronics-shop.html https://addons.prestashop.com/en/electronics-computers-themes/18935-gameguru-play-games-store.html https://addons.prestashop.com/en/electronics-computers-themes/17690-technoshop-high-tech.html https://addons.prestashop.com/en/electronics-computers-themes/19964-atomic-high-tech-shop.html You can check similar product: http://prntscr.com/frp3ow More example: https://addons.prestashop.com/en/sports-activities-travel-themes/17643-travely-travel-shop.html Surprisingly, similar products have the same themes, other developers. That is, some specific developers get a strong advantage. Perhaps this is a bug or flaw that needs to be fixed urgently! You can check this and yourself, more likely you advertise other people's products, partner products and you do not have a single opportunity to influence it! Thus, compared to last year, my sales fell more than 2 times, but the time for support began to be spent on the contrary more. But what happens when you try to send a message. Screen #1 http://prntscr.com/frp6c0 Screen #2 http://prntscr.com/frp6io This can not be explained. To be objective. PrestaShop Addons is a good platform, at least it was hers. But lately a lot of new things against the bulk of developers and stimulate unfair competition and lobbying of the interests of partners, I am against it. I have noticed before, irrelevant results, the products of some developers, especially partners, give much more attention, give more profitable positions, advertise more actively and more often. Including make personal promotions for partners, make an extended description on the product page, this possibility is denied to ordinary developers. I have a question, why such unequal conditions? The market should be more transparent and transparent, for all without exception. I tried to apply as an agency, partner, but it was never considered. I sent about 10 times and never received a response from a person. Although we sell templates and modules from 2011 and have the status of superhero. I demand justice! P.S. I'll keep this topic on my blog, in case it's deleted, you need to know the truth! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaPro LTD Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Hello, Dh42 About what you wrote, it's true. And besides the market is overcrowded, there are more and more sellers. But it is not all that bad. Concerning the contribution: My contribution is greater. Our team does not always show it in public places (in the forum for example). For example, we regularly send bug reports and bug fixes. We make the documentation and record the video. We help clients solve their problems. Earlier I had other messages on the forum PrestaShop Addons, in particular, I answered questions in the Russian community and made a couple of recommendations for the Paypal module in the English branch. Also, I have a group in social networks where I answer questions. Therefore, everything is not always the same as it seems at first glance. Nevertheless, returning to the question, I think that something needs to be done with this problem. On average, I, as a developer, advertise at least 5 products of other developers. Others do the same. If there was an interface for adding similar products or at least understandable and transparent rules, by which by observing the conditions it was possible to get into the block of similar goods and add their modules to the themes, I think it would be justice. I guess that not all of this can be important, but I think there are a lot of people who do care.

I keep you posted as soon as I get any news. But what happens when you try to send a message. Screen #1 http://prntscr.com/frp6c0 Screen #2 http://prntscr.com/frp6io This can not be explained. I can explain this issue, we had a bug yesterday evening related to the contact form. I confirm you that it has been fixed this morning. I tried to apply as an agency, partner, but it was never considered. I sent about 10 times and never received a response from a person.

Antoine F Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hello,I got more information concerning the partnership on the Addons Marketplace. I have noticed before, irrelevant results, the products of some developers, especially partners, give much more attention, give more profitable positions, advertise more actively and more often. Including make personal promotions for partners, make an extended description on the product page, this possibility is denied to ordinary developers. Yes, it's true that partners get promotions. You usually see a popup in this case with a special discount, it's included in the Partnership contract.Concerning the description, I confirm you that everyone is equal. There aren't any advantages on this point.Best,Antoine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Antoine Regarding description, some modules have images (https://addons.prestashop.com/en/payment-card-wallet/21225-virtual-pos-redsys.html) which is not possible to do it from module sheet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
