The Customisable Labels and Stickers module allows you to create and configure rules displaying personalised labels on the products of your choice during different types of commercial operations (Promotions, New products, Best sellers, Staff picks). Below you will find all the necessary information to understand and use this module.
Create and configure your label rules
In the Configuration tab, click on "Create a label rule". A 3-step configuration pop-up appears:
Step 1 - Global rule configuration
In this first step, you can fill in and choose the name of the rule, as well as the choice of the type of commercial operation: Promotions / New products / Best sellers / Favorites.
- If you choose Promotions, the selection of products is done automatically by identifying products with a specific price or a catalog price rule when it applies to a quantity of 1 product. Products associated with a basket rule or a catalog price rule for a quantity greater than 1 are not considered.Therefore, you have nothing else to do and you can directly access step 2.
- If you choose New products, you have the option to choose your products:
- Manually: type the first letters of the desired Product(s) or Category(ies) in the search bar and select the products on which you want to display a label. You also have the option to define a display period (start date / end date) for this label. If no period is selected, the label will be displayed until you deactivate or delete the label rule.
- Automatically: enter the number of days during which you wish to consider your products as "New" and therefore display a label on them. The module takes into account the dates of publication of your products, whether they are active or inactive. Only products that meet this condition of novelty will display a Novelty label.
Note: By default, the PrestaShop solution offers the possibility of displaying a non-configurable "New" banner. To remove it and display only your personalized labels, simply configure the "New Products Block" (accessible from the Modules tab), by entering 0 in the "Number of days during which a product is considered "new"" field.
- If you choose Best Sellers, you have the option to choose your products:
- Manually: the process is the same as for the New Arrivals label.
- Automatically: choose the number of best-selling products to display. These best-sellers can be chosen from the entire catalog or from each category by default. Only the X best-selling products from the catalog or within each category will display a Best Sellers label.
- If you choose "Coup de cœur", you have the option to choose your products manually. The process is the same as for the "New products" label.
Step 2 - Configuration of the label display
The label display configuration is the same for new products, bestsellers and "Coup de cœur" products, but it is different for promotions.
If you are in "Promotions", configure the following elements:
- The text of the label to be inserted in the languages of your choice. In the event that you do not add text for all your languages, the text of the label will appear in the default language of your store for the missing languages.
- The font of the text
- The color of the text
- The size of the text (choose from S, M, L, XL)
- The background color of the label (or check the box if you do not wish to add a background to the label)
- The position of the label on the image
If you are in one of the three other commercial operations, configure the following elements:
- The type of icons to display: choose one of the four transparent icons offered by PrestaShop or upload your own labels. The accepted image formats are as follows: JPG, GIF, PNG. The maximum accepted size is 50 px x 50 px and its weight (according to the server) is 8 MB. Beyond this format, your image will be resized. You have the option to import a label per language. If you wish to display the same label for all the languages of your shop, you simply need to import this label only in the default language of your shop.
- Activation of the text associated with the label or not. If enabled, you can add text in the languages of your choice.
- The font of the text
- The color of the text
- The size of the text (choose from S, M, L, XL)
- The color of the background of the label (or check the box if you do not wish to add a background to the label)
- The label position on the image
In both cases, a preview of a demo image allows you to dynamically visualize your configured label on an image.
Step 3 - Configuration of the associated product banner
In this step, you can associate a banner with a label. It will be present on the product sheet below the price and above the add to cart button. The banner is ideal for providing more information about a commercial operation and for making the product more attractive. The configurable elements of the banner are as follows:
- Activation of the banner or not
- Choice of text, in the languages of your choice (maximum 40 characters)
- Text colour
- The background colour of the banner. In the same way as for labels, a dynamic preview is displayed on the right, allowing you to see in real time the configuration made on your banners.
Modify your rules directly from the table
All your label rules are available in the table of the configuration tab. It presents all the information relating to these rules: Priority, Label name, Type of commercial operation, Start date, End date, Rule status, Rule translations, Actions. Several types of actions are available from this table:
- Modifying the label rule: when you click on this button, you access the rule creation pop-up, with the current information pre-recorded. However, you cannot change the type of commercial operation, as this would be equivalent to creating a new rule, nor switch from manual to automatic configuration.
- Label preview: when you click on preview, a demo image pop-up appears, allowing you to see the label you have configured for this rule.
- Deleting the label rule: you have the option to delete previously created rules.
- The status change (Active / Inactive) of the label rule: by clicking on the icon of a rule in the Status column, you can change it to Active or Inactive, directly from the table. By default, when you create a new rule, it will be active.
- Changing the priority of label rules: A product can only display more than one label simultaneously, even if it meets the conditions of several label rules. The product will therefore display the label (and the banner if there is one) associated with the rule having the strongest priority. By default, the last label rule created will have the weakest priority. To modify these priorities, simply drag and drop the line associated with the rule to the desired level. If a rule has a higher priority but is deactivated or its display period has expired/has not started, it will not be taken into account.
Frequently asked questions
How does the module work and in what situations is it best suited?
The Labels and Stickers module allows you to create and configure personalized label display rules for the products of your choice. The module is ideal for four types of commercial operations: Promotions, New products, Best sellers, and Favorites.
On which products will the labels be displayed?
The labels are displayed on the products that you select manually or on those that meet your criteria if you have chosen the "automatic" option. These labels are visible on the products on the home page, on category pages, on product sheets (with the banner), but they are not displayed when a customer zooms in on the image.
In what order of priority are the label rules classified?
A product cannot display more than one label at the same time, even if it meets the conditions of several labeling rules. Thus, the product will display the label (and the banner if there is one) associated with the rule having the highest priority. By default, the last label rule created will have the lowest priority. To modify the priorities, simply drag and drop a rule line to the desired position. If a rule has a higher priority but has been deactivated or its display period has not yet begun / has expired, it will not be taken into account.
What is a banner?
A banner is a framed text that provides customers with more information about a commercial transaction. It is visible on the product page, below the price and above the "Add to cart" button. A banner is always associated with a label and configured during the third step of creating a label. In this step, you can choose the text of your banner (in the different languages of your store), the text and the background color.
How does the product selection work?
You can select products manually or automatically on which the labels will be displayed.
Manually: you select the products or categories of your choice and define (if necessary) a display period. If no period is chosen, the labels will be displayed until you deactivate or delete the label rules.
Automatically: according to specific criteria associated with the different commercial operations, the module will automatically select the products displayed with the label.
How does the selection of products for the New Arrivals label work?
For new arrivals, you can select your products and categories manually or automatically by choosing the number of days during which a product will be considered "new" after its launch. If you choose the automatic option, only the products that meet the set criteria will display a "New Products" label.
How does the selection of products for the Best Sellers label work?
For best sellers, you can select your products and categories manually or automatically, by choosing the number of best sellers to display. You can choose these bestsellers throughout the entire catalogue or in each category by default in your catalogue. If you choose automatic selection, only the X best-selling products will display a label.
How does the selection of products work for the Coup de cœur label?
For Coup de cœur products, you can only manually choose the products or categories on which you wish to display a label. You can also define (if necessary) a display period for this label.
How does the product selection for the Promotions label work?
For a promotion, products are automatically selected when they have a specific price or if a catalog price rule defined with a quantity of 1 is applied to them. The module does not take into account products associated with shopping cart rules or catalog price rules with a quantity greater than 1.
I want to display my own labels. What types and formats of labels can I add?
In the second step of the label configuration, you can import your own labels, in the following formats: JPG, GIF and PNG. The maximum authorized size is 50 px x 50 px and the maximum weight is 8Mo (depending on your server). Beyond this format, your image will be resized to 50px x 50px. You can import a label per language. If you wish to display the same text for all the languages of your shop, you simply need to import a text for your default language.
What are the configuration elements for displaying a PrestaShop label?
When you configure the display of a PrestaShop label, you can choose an icon (from 4 transparent icons offered for each type of commercial operation), add a background color, and associate it with text in the language, font, size and color of your choice. In addition, you can choose the position of your label on the product image: top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right.
What happens if I don't add text for each language of my store?
When you create a label with text, you can adapt this text for each language of your store. If you do not add text for all languages, the label text will be displayed in your default language for all missing translations.
I have configured a label for my new products, but a label of this type is already displayed on the image. What should I do?
The blue "New" banner is linked to the basic PrestaShop configuration. To remove it, simply configure the New Products block in the module manager tab, entering "0" in the "Number of days during which a product is considered "new"" field.
The label that I have configured is not visible on the associated products in my shop. What should I do?
Before contacting us, please ensure that you have reviewed the following questions:
- Have you cleared the cache of your shop? If not, go to Advanced Settings > Performance - Clear Cache.
- Is your labeling rule activated? If there is a red cross on the line of your rule, it means it is not. Simply click on the cross to activate it.
- Are you sure that your label has been defined for a period that has started and has not expired?
- Are your products associated with the highest priority labeling rule? If you are unsure, you will find more information about the priorities of labels in the FAQ questions above.
- Are you sure you have set the label in your default language? If you upload your own icons, make sure to upload at least one icon for your default language. If you are using the PrestaShop icons, if you do not write text for your default language, the label will only display the selected icon.
