Three complementary positionings. Velleman = generalist makers/DIY/STEM/audio/lighting/security electronics, 6,000 SKUs, in-house brands (HQ Power, Vonyx, Skytec, Showtec, BoomTone DJ, PERFECT, Velleman EDU), historic Belgian wholesaler since 1976, native multilingual — target audience: components stores, schools, PA/DJ, FabLabs, security retailers. BTSWholesaler = consumer electronics and accessories (mobile, personal audio, gadgets) — target: B2C generalist stores. Elemtechnic = niche electronics (specialised B2B equipment) — target: installers and technicians. If you want a generalist pre-installed electronics store covering components, Arduino modules, educational kits, pro audio and stage lighting from a single supplier, Velleman is the most complete choice.

Yes, this is a major Velleman strength over other European B2B wholesalers. Velleman natively publishes its catalogue in 6 languages: EN, FR, NL, DE, ES, IT. The individual FTP server delivers the CSV in the language picked at B2B sign-up. To target FR + NL + DE, we enable the 3 languages in PrestaShop, configure 3 Velleman imports (one per language), and the module fills every product page in all 3 languages. No translation surcharge, no Google Translate, just official Velleman CSVs written by their own teams. Ideal for trilingual Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, or a pan-European strategy.

The EU's GPSR (General Product Safety Regulation), in force since 13 December 2024, requires every e-commerce seller in the zone to display the manufacturer's contact details on each product page (and EU representative if the manufacturer is outside the EU). Non-compliance = fine. Our Velleman PrestaShop turnkey electronics store ships with the GPSR form pre-filled (Velleman Group NV, Belgium), automatically displayed at the bottom of every product page in a clearly marked light-red regulatory block. You are compliant from day one.

Velleman offers up to 10 tiered price brackets based on purchase quantity (typically 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 5000+). Each tier has its negotiated net price in your B2B Velleman contract. During the brief, you tell us which tier matches your real average purchase volume (default: tier 5, the most common for SMEs). The module uses this tier as the unique cost-of-goods baseline to compute the final selling price according to your mode (margins / fixed / wholesale). You can change the tier at any time from the BO and trigger a price recalculation.

Yes, 100%. The Velleman PrestaShop turnkey electronics store we deliver is your property. You receive every admin access, you are hosted on your own server (or on ours if you take that option), no mandatory monthly rent. You can move it, modify it or resell it.

Yes. To sell Velleman products, you must be an approved B2B reseller with Velleman Group (company registration extract, intra-EU VAT number, validation by their Belgian sales team). It's free, fairly fast, with no aggressive minimum-purchase threshold. Once approved, Velleman provides your individual FTP credentials (host, port, user, pass, path to your personal CSV file) and you specify your preferred language(s). We can support you through the process if needed.

Velleman supplies up to 25 high-definition images per product (front, back, perspective, details, packaging, in-context shots, schematics, demo-video thumbnails). These images are hosted on Velleman's public CDN. The module automatically downloads a 2nd image-mapping CSV (CDN URL hard-coded, invisible to customers), validates each URL via HEAD HTTP, downloads every image in order, generates the PrestaShop variants (small/medium/large/home_default) and applies the PrestaShop 9 BO fix. The 1st image automatically becomes the cover.

Yes, fully. Your Velleman PrestaShop turnkey electronics store is a standard PrestaShop store. You can add your own products (your DIY creations, in-house kits, other electronics brands, training/repair services) directly from the back office. The Velleman catalogue lives alongside your in-house catalogue without any conflict.

No, not in the base pack. Two options at checkout: (1) you supply your own hosting and domain — we install on it; (2) you take our hosting + domain option included for the first year (small surcharge, annual renewal at your expense afterwards). For 6,000 products with 25 images each, plan for at least 8 GB of storage and PHP 8.1+.

Automatically, via 24/7 CRON with two complementary modes: (1) full_import 1×/day during off-peak hours for new products and light updates; (2) light_sync every 2-4h to refresh prices and stock only (lightweight mode, doesn't touch product copy). Out-of-stock items automatically disable purchases, new Velleman products appear without intervention, end-of-life items are flagged as unavailable. You can also trigger a manual import from the BO.

Yes, the "🚀 View the live demo" button above this description opens a Velleman demo store with sample imported products (components, Arduino modules, STEM kits, pro audio, stage lighting). You can browse the 10-level hierarchy, view the 10-section PREMIUM product pages (technical cards, dimensions, packaging, GPSR), add to cart, see the checkout — exactly what you'll receive.
