What module.monster is

Every PrestaShop shop eventually needs something the platform does not do by itself: a badge under one supplier's products, a rule that changes what checkout offers, an export a wholesaler insists on. Each of those is a small piece of work, and the overhead of commissioning it — finding an agency, writing a brief, waiting for a quote, explaining the shop to somebody who has never seen it — is out of proportion to the work itself, which is why so many of those ideas are never built. module.monster is aimed squarely at that gap: a merchant describes the behaviour they want in their own words, an agent scopes it with them, and an unattended pipeline delivers an installable, documented PrestaShop module that is theirs to keep. The people it is for are the merchants running those shops and the smaller agencies who look after them.

What the product does

• Scoping comes first. A chat agent that knows PrestaShop works the idea through with the customer — it pushes back when the request is already core platform behaviour or is really three modules in one, and settles what a builder cannot guess: where the module appears, which hooks it uses, what is configurable, and what it deliberately will not do. Nothing is built and nothing is charged until the customer approves that spec.
• Approving hands the spec to a pipeline that writes the module and then installs and exercises it on a live PrestaShop, so what goes out has been run rather than only written. A step that keeps coming back wrong is retried, and a module that still will not come right is flagged for us to look at rather than delivered broken.
• The same run translates the module into the languages the customer picked, captures its screens, writes an illustrated guide and packages the lot as an ordinary PrestaShop module zip. It is unattended from approval to download.
• What the customer ends up with is readable PHP under an open licence, which they install themselves, on their own schedule. It does not call home and it does not depend on us to keep working — deliberately so, because owning the result outright is a large part of what they are buying.

Where we are

module.monster is in beta, and the badge next to our name is not decoration. The service runs end to end and the modules it delivers are real and installable, but it is young and still finding its own edges: builds fail sometimes, and the work we accept is deliberately narrow — one module at a time, at the size of job a developer who knows PrestaShop would take on in a sitting.

We would rather say that here than have it found out. What the service does today, limits included, is written down in full in the documentation, and it is the same document our customers read.

Get in touch

If you are looking at module.monster as an investment, write to [email protected] with “Investment enquiry” in the subject line — that subject is what keeps it out of the support queue, and the button below fills it in for you. What you send reaches the people building the product.

Materials and numbers are shared on request rather than published on this page. Tell us what you would need to see and we will send what we have; it helps to say where you are in your own process, so we can pitch the conversation at the right level. The same address is the right one for a question about the product or the pipeline, if you would rather start there.
