The Customizable Labels and Stickers module allows you to create and configure rules that display custom labels on the products of your choice during different types of commercial operations (Promotions, New, Best sellers, Favourites). Find below all the necessary information for understanding and using 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 configuration of the rule
In this 1st step, you can fill in and choose the name of the rule, as well as the choice of type of commercial operation: Promotions / New / Best Sellers / Favourites.
- 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.So you have nothing more to do and you can directly access step 2.
- If you choose New, 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 set a display period (start date / end date) for this label. If no period is selected, the label will be displayed until you disable or delete the label rule.
- Automatically: enter the number of days during which you want to consider your products as "New" and therefore display a label. The module considers the dates of your products being posted online, whether they are active or inactive. Only products meeting this condition of novelty will display a Novelty label.
Note: By default, the PrestaShop solution gives the possibility to display a non-configurable New banner. To remove it and display only your custom labels, you just need to configure the "New Products Block" (accessible from the Modules tab), by entering 0 in the "Number of days during which a product is considered as "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 Releases 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 top X sales in the catalog or within each category will display a Best Sellers label.
- If you choose Favourites, you have the option to choose your products manually. The process is the same as for the New Releases label.
Step 2 - Configuring the label display
The configuration of the label display is the same for new items, best sellers and favorites but it is different for promotions.
If you are in Promotions, configure the following items:
- The text of the label to be inserted in the languages of your choice. In case you do not add text for all your languages, the label text will appear in the default language of your store for the missing languages.
- The text police
- The color of the text
- Text size (choice between S, M L, XL)
- The background color of the label (or check the box if you do not want to add a background to the label)
- The position of the label on the image
If you are in one of the other three business operations, configure the following:
- The type of icons to display: choose one of the four transparent icons proposed by PrestaShop or upload your own labels. The accepted image formats are: JPG, GIF, PNG. The maximum accepted size is 50 px x 50 px and its weight (according to the server) is 8Mo. Beyond this format, your image will be resized. You have the possibility to import a label per language. If you want to display the same label for all the languages of your store, you just need to import this label only in the default language of your store.
- The activation of the text associated with the label or not. If it is enabled, you can add text in the languages of your choice.
- The text police
- The color of the text
- Text size (choice between S, M L, XL)
- The background color of the label (or check the box if you do not want to add a background to the label)
- The position of the label on the image
In both cases, a preview of a demo image allows you to dynamically visualize your label configured on an image.
Step 3 - Configuration of the associated product banner
In this step, you can associate a banner with a label. This will be present in the product sheet below the price and above the add to cart button. The banner is ideal for providing more information about a business operation and for making the product more attractive. The configurable elements of the banner are as follows:
- The activation of the banner or not
- The choice of text, in the languages of your choice (maximum 40 characters)
- The color of the text
- The background color 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 performed on your banners.
Modify your rules directly from the board
All your label rules are available in the table of the configuration tab. It presents all the information related to these rules: Priority, Label name, Type of commercial operation, Start date, end date, Status of the rule, Translations of the rule, 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-filled. However, you cannot change the type of business operation, as this would be equivalent to creating a new rule, nor switch from manual to automatic configuration.
- The 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.
- Changing the state (Active/Inactive) of the label rule: by clicking on the icon of a rule in the State column, you can switch it to Active or Inactive, directly from the table. By default, when you create a new rule, it will be active.
- The change in priority of the 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 that has the highest priority. By default, the last label rule created will have the lowest priority. To change these priorities, simply move the line associated with the rule to the desired level using "drag and drop". If a rule has a higher priority but is disabled or has an expired/unstarted display period, 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 rules for displaying custom labels on the products of your choice. The module is ideal for four types of commercial operations: Promotions, New products, Best sellers, Favourites.
On which products will the labels be displayed?
Labels are displayed on the products you manually select or on those that meet your criteria if you have chosen the "automatic" option. These labels are visible on 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. Therefore, the product will display the label (and the banner if there is one) associated with the rule that has the highest priority. By default, the last label rule created will have the lowest priority. To change the priorities, simply drag and drop a rule line to the desired position. If a rule has a higher priority but it has been disabled or its display period has not yet started / has expired, it will not be taken into account.
What is a banner?
A banner is a framed text that gives customers 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 product selection work?
You can manually or automatically select the products on which the labels will be displayed.
Manually: you select the products or categories of your choice and set (if necessary) a display period. If no period is chosen, the labels will be displayed until you disable or delete the label rules.
Automatically: according to specific criteria associated with the various business operations, the module will automatically select the products displayed with the label.
How does product selection work for the New Items label?
For new products, 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 products that meet the set criteria will display a "New products" label.
How does product selection work for the Best Sellers label?
For best sellers, you can select your products and categories manually or automatically, choosing the number of best sellers to display. You can choose these best sellers in the entire catalog or in each category by default in your catalog. If you choose automatic selection, only the X best-selling products will display a label.
How does product selection work for the Coups de cœur label?
For the favorite products, you can only manually choose the products or categories on which you want to display a label. You can also set (if necessary) a display period for this label.
How does 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 basket rules or list 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 label configuration, you can import your own labels in the following formats: JPG, GIF, and PNG. The maximum allowed size is 50 px x 50 px and the maximum weight is 8 Mo (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 want to display the same label for all the languages of your store, you just need to import a label 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 languages, 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 do not 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. In case you do not add text for all languages, the label text will be displayed in your default language for all missing translations.
I have set up 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 related to the basic PrestaShop configuration. To remove it, you just need to configure the New Products block in the Module Manager tab, by entering "0" in the "Number of days during which a product is considered "new"" field.
The label I have configured is not visible on the associated products of my store. What should I do?
Before contacting us, please make sure you have reviewed the following questions:
- Have you emptied the cache of your store? If not, go to Advanced Settings > Performance - Clear Cache.
- Is your labeling rule enabled? If there is a red cross on the line of your rule, it means it is not. Just click on the cross to activate it.
- Are you sure that your label has been set for a period that has started and has not expired?
- Are your products associated with the most priority labelling rule? If you are unsure, you can find more information on the label priorities 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 use the PrestaShop icons, if you do not write text for your default language, the label will only display the selected icon.
