A PRECIOUS TOOL FOR ADDITIONAL SALES

Advanced Pack enables you to increase your average cart value by offering your customers the opportunity to purchase a coherent set of products, called a pack, at an attractive price.

By grouping together products whose simultaneous sale makes sense (such as a camera, its tripod and the appropriate memory card), you guide your customers through their buying process, just as you would in a physical store, while saving them time. Indeed, by showcasing complementary products on the same page, you save them the hassle of searching for each product individually, with the risk of, for instance, not selecting compatible products. With the pack, they can add multiple items to their cart with a single click, ensuring they purchase the correct references.

Thanks to your packs, you also enable your customers to save money by offering these product sets at a discounted price. For instance, Advanced Pack allows you to provide one of the products in the pack for free or to offer customized discounts based on the item combinations selected.

Finally, creating a pack allows you to improve the visibility of certain products by associating them with your best-sellers.

A FAST AND INTUITIVE PACK CREATION

Inherit product information

Select the products to be included in the pack, save: the pack can already be sold on your site with a set of default parameters. Nothing could be faster!

All the properties of the products making up the pack are automatically retrieved (descriptions, prices, images, features, etc.) to save you time: no need to rewrite descriptions, reinsert images, etc... Advanced Pack automatically displays the images and descriptions of the products in the pack in tabs on the product page. You can then customize this display if you want! Your customers can therefore be properly informed about all the products in the pack while remaining on the same page, and finalize their purchase with a single click.

Fine management of combinations

Unlike PrestaShop's native "pack" functionality, you don't need to create a pack for each product combination: the module's creation tool allows you, for each product to be included in the pack, to choose the combination(s) you want to make available specifically for this mode of sale.

For example, you can make only certain colors of a product available if it is purchased within a pack. You can also define a default combination for each product, even if it is different from the one defined in your catalog, in order to sell off certain stocks more easily.

Once your pack is built, your customers are free to select, for each item in the pack, the attribute (color, size, dimension, ...) they want from those you have chosen to make available. They benefit from the same preferential discount defined for the pack, regardless of the chosen combination, even if the combinations have different prices (price impacts on combinations are taken into account).

Pack Customization

In addition to choosing the combinations to be included in the pack, you can let your customers change the quantity of each of the products included in the pack, or set them yourself. Advanced Pack also gives you the option of letting your customers remove a product from the pack, if they want.

Would you like a product to be sold only through a pack? That's also possible! You can even make it a free gift. For example, you can offer an extended warranty for the purchase of a dishwasher. This extension will then be exclusively conditioned to the purchase of the dishwasher.

With Advanced Pack, the customization possibilities are endless!

ENCOURAGE YOUR CUSTOMERS TO ORDER IN PACKS WITH A SPECIAL OFFER

To encourage your customers to order a product as part of a pack rather than on its own, offer them a benefit they can't refuse! Advanced Pack allows you to create three types of sales offers.

3 types of sales offers are possible thanks to Advanced Pack:

  • Offer a specific discount on each product in the pack
  • Apply a general discount on all products
  • Apply a fixed price to the pack, like a psychological price, for example

In addition to these possibilities, Advanced Pack allows you to take into account, or not, the discounts that may already exist on your products. You thus have the choice between:

  • reflecting existing discounts on the sale price of the pack
  • or, on the contrary, exclude them to favor the discount defined for the pack

The module also includes a dynamic pack price simulator to help you create your sales operation.

On the customer side, and unlike the native "pack" functionality, the sales offer related to the pack purchase is clearly highlighted on the product page. The visitor immediately understands that he can save money by favoring this method.

QUICK AND EASY ORDER AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Ordering a pack is managed in such a way that you retain the advantages of ordering separate products. First of all, the pack stock is calculated from the stocks of its products. There's no need to define stock at pack level. Each time a pack is ordered, individual product stocks are automatically deducted. Then, on the invoice and order details in the back-office, each product appears on a different line, as if it had been ordered separately.

This has major advantages:

  • No surprises when it comes to stocks: for each product, you have just one stock to manage, whether the product is sold on its own or as part of a pack. You avoid the complexities of managing two different stocks for the same product.
  • Refunds and returns are managed at the individual product level: for example, you can refund only one product in a pack, or put a returned product back on sale.
  • Easy management of products with different VAT rates: the invoice displays the tax amount for each different VAT rate.
  • Ability to export pack orders to an ERP-type management and analysis system, without having to make any technical modifications to enable it to take pack orders into account.

Moreover, if one of the products (or a product combination) in a pack is out of stock, the pack will automatically be indicated as unavailable for purchase using an availability alert system. No risk of you receiving orders for unavailable products! An option also allows you to force the display of another combination if the default combination is out of stock.

INCREASE PACK VISIBILITY WITH CROSS-SELLING

For even greater visibility, you can display a block "This product is also available in pack" on the pages of products that are also part of a pack.

In this way, thanks to a dedicated commercial offer, you can encourage your customers to order the pack rather than the product alone. In short, this is cross-selling: an accessible and effective way of increasing your average cart!

POSSIBILITY TO SELL A SAME PRODUCT IN BUNDLES (minimum compatibility PrestaShop 1.7.7.0)

Do you have products that can be packaged in bundles of several units? Offer your customers the chance to save money by ordering a product in a bundle rather than individually, thanks to a dedicated offer. They'll be able to order the bundle directly from the page of the concerned product.

INTEGRATED ASSISTANT

To help you choose the products and combinations to be included in the pack, our module will display strategic information such as the number of copies of the product already sold or the stock still available.

It also includes a dynamic simulator of the price of your pack to help you see clearly in the creation of your commercial operation.

PRICE AND TAX MANAGEMENT

By default, and in the case where no discount has been applied, the price of the pack is the sum of the prices of the products that compose it. If you need to modify the price of one of these products after the creation of the pack, the price of the pack will be automatically updated, without any necessary intervention on your part.

Similarly, if you apply a discount to one or more products that are also available within a pack, you have the option to allow the impact of promotions on the price of the pack. If the option is activated, then the price of the pack will be automatically modified and the applied discount will be displayed to your customers.

Advanced Pack knows how to manage price impacts on combinations. They will be taken into account when applying the commercial offer.

The module also takes into account eco-taxes. If one of the products in your pack has an eco-tax, it will be automatically reflected in the selling price of the pack. It will also be clearly displayed on the "pack" product page, ensuring perfect compliance with the law.
