Module - Advanced Featured Products

 

 

The Advanced Featured Products module allows you to display, on your PrestaShop store’s homepage, custom product tabs showcasing selections of products according to your own criteria: categories, best sellers, new products, promotions, or manual selection. This way, you can highlight the most strategic products for your business while offering clear and attractive navigation to your visitors.
