PrestaPro LTD Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 (edited) Hello, As you may know soon, or rather in July, all Addons that have not paid for moderation will be disabled. And in September they will be removed. I want to conduct a survey among developers. What do you think about it? Where do you plan to sell your modules next, if you plan? Or do you think paying 99 euros per year is justified, for each module and template? How many sales do you think should be in a year to make it profitable to pay for moderation?

Divine Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Hello, I removed my contributions from this platform years ago but here is my opinion : What do you think about it? => It's shameful. But it doesn't surprise me as I know Prestashop Addons practices for a very long time... Where do you plan to sell your modules next, if you plan? => On my own website. Merchants who needs you perfectly know how to find you. Or do you think paying 99 euros per year is justified, for each module and template? => Absolutely not. 20 to 40% commission is already taken on each sale, I think it should be enough for the only thing that this platform offers : visibility. How many sales do you think should be in a year to make it profitable to pay for moderation? => You can make as many sales as you want on Prestashop Addons, it will never be profitable because the way the business is managed on this platform is basically not profitable for developers. Anyway this is just my opinion and I wish you good luck and a lot of patience if you stay on this platform ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedepot Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 For sure, this will reduce drastically the number of themes and modules on the marketplace. The overall ecosystem will shrunk => Prestashop is dying little by little but for certain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bare knuckle basic design and you can get modules elsewhere. And the SaaS solution for a fixed price. Just as shopify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They so mutch moderate the modules they pass modules that load 3rd party scripts from .ru sites. I was posting about this some time ago. Autor and Prestashop seems dont care They should stop all modules connection outside the prestashop store, this is my opinion on this.

Sami Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 This moderation tax was the last nail in the coffin. The moment PrestaShop abandoned the open source, turned their back to 3rd party developers and tried to compete with Shopify, they've lost. But companies having incompetent management won't be for the first time. Its sad because PrestaShop had so much potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
