Overview of Prestashop Upload File Module

Sometimes it becomes a must for admins to attach files with their products, especially when dealing with e-commerce sites. They can do it by writing long codes for their pages or by using a customer file upload module serving the basic functionality of file uploading. Admin can allow customers to download these files as well.

In another case, the admin sometimes requires additional information from the customers which they can not take in fields, for example, a design file having the design template of a dress or any handbag. This can not be explained by customers so in this case file attachment by the customer will work. To understand the customer’s custom needs this option will work more effectively.

PrestaShop upload file provides a single platform for customers to upload custom files from the product, cart, and order pages with a drag-and-drop option. Admin can require these files from customers for different purposes.

• File Formats and Multiple Uploading Option
  

The merchants can define file formats that would be allowed to be uploaded by the customers, such as JPG, PNG, XLS, DOC, PDF, and many more. These files can either be uploaded by selecting from the file destination or by dragging them to the provided field. Predefined icons for uploaded files can be displayed, for example, a PDF file on the product page will be displayed with a PDF file icon.

• Upload Files through Google Drive and Drop Box

This feature allows users to upload the files from their Google Drive or DropBox. This is the easiest way to add files, even if the user lost these files from their PCs.
