🎯 Complete features of the Matterhorn Module
📦 Matterhorn catalog import — Bulk, in the background, no timeout
- Single import by Matterhorn ID to test or recover a broken product
- Bulk import: 50, 100, 500, 1,000 products or the entire catalog (~50,000 products)
- Advanced filters: by brand (multi-select), by category (multi-select), new arrivals from the last 60 days
- Visual tag picker: add brands/categories by clicking — coloured chips with remove cross
- Persistent selection: your filter is saved between sessions
- Error recovery: auto-resume in the background if timeout

- Main image automatically marked as cover
- Full gallery visible on the product page on the customer side
- Configurable limit: 1, 3, 5, 10 or unlimited (depending on your disk space)
- Automatic insertion into the long description (top/bottom — good for SEO)
- Resize all PS variants: home, cart, large, medium, small, default
- Format validation: JPEG, PNG, GIF, WEBP — corrupted files cleanly rejected
📐 Size variants — Native PS Combinations
- Automatic creation of the "Size" attribute group and all its values
- One PS combination per Matterhorn variant (EU 36, EU 38, EU 40…)
- Individual stock per size (visible on the front, manageable from the BO)
- EAN13 if available from Matterhorn
- Matterhorn variant_uid stored for orders (each size has its own ID on the supplier side)
- Readable product reference:
MH-V-{variant_uid} per combination
🌐 Multilingual 13 languages — Native Matterhorn texts
Matterhorn has 13 distinct domains (one per language). The module automatically calls the correct domain for each active language of your shop:
| 🇫🇷 French | 🇬🇧 English | 🇩🇪 German | 🇮🇹 Italian | 🇪🇸 Dutch |
| 🇨🇿 Czech | 🇸🇰 Slovak | 🇸🇪 Swedish | 🇷🇴 Romanian | 🇭🇺 Hungarian |
| 🇬🇷 Greek | 🇱🇹 Lithuanian | 🇧🇬 Bulgarian | + FR fallback | + EN fallback |
- Automatic detection of active PS languages that have a matching Matterhorn domain
- Auto-generation of descriptions formatted in HTML when the API does not provide any (SEO friendly)
- Smart reformatting: each sentence becomes a <p> for readability
💰 Configurable margins — Maximise your profit
Three modes for calculating selling price are available:
| Mode | Description | For whom? |
|---|
| Tiers | Different % depending on the purchase price bracket (e.g. +200% under €5, +35% above €500) | ⭐ Recommended — maximises margin on small prices |
| Fixed markup | A single % applied to all products | Simple strategy, constant margin |
| Wholesaler | Displays the raw Matterhorn price (no markup) | B2B shops reselling to other professionals |
🔍 Multilingual SEO — Customisable templates
- Meta title / meta description with variables:
{name}, {brand}, {category}, {color}
- Automatic generation in all active languages
- Clean slug (link_rewrite) without accents or special characters
- Image in the long description (at the start or end) to boost the on-page SEO score
- Auto-disable on out-of-stock or option "keep visible for SEO" (URL and indexation preserved)
🛒 100% automatic order pipeline
The scenario that changes everything:
- 👤 A customer places an order on your PrestaShop store
- 💳 They pay → the order moves to "Payment accepted" status
- ⚡ The module automatically forwards the order to Matterhorn (PUT /B2BAPI/ACCOUNT/ORDERS/)
- 📨 You receive an email from Matterhorn with a payment link (you validate in 1 click)
- 📦 Matterhorn ships the parcel directly to your customer (white label)
- 🚚 The module's CRON retrieves the tracking number when available
- 📧 PrestaShop automatically sends the shipping email to the customer with their tracking
→ You did NOTHING. The order is processed end to end.

actionOrderStatusUpdate — instant trigger on status change
- Carrier selection: auto (cheapest) or by preference (GLS, FEDEX, GLOBAL, INPOST…)

- Dashboard: see all your PS orders and their Matterhorn status at a glance
- Matterhorn orders view: list of ALL your orders on the supplier side (manual or via API), with invoice & tracking details

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Matterhorn dropshipping module work on PrestaShop 9?
A: Yes, fully compatible with PS 9.x. An internal compatibility layer also handles versions 1.7 and 8 with no modification.
Q: How many products can I import?
A: No limit on the module side. The full Matterhorn catalog is around 50,000 products. You can import everything or target by brands/categories.
Q: Will my €9/month shared hosting hold up?
A: Yes, the module is specially optimised for modest hosting. 1 product/call CRON mode, 60s time-budget, async self-restart. No risk of timeout.
Q: Are orders automatically paid at Matterhorn?
A: No, the Matterhorn API does not allow automatic payment. You receive an email with a payment link to validate in 1 click. This is intentional (accounting safety). The module then automatically retrieves tracking + customer email.
Q: I only have 1 active language, what is multilingual for?
A: You can disable multilingual (speed gain). If later you activate German or Italian on PS, the module will automatically detect and fetch the correct native Matterhorn texts.
Q: What happens if Matterhorn is temporarily unavailable?
A: The module detects network errors, automatically retries (3 attempts with exponential backoff), and resumes where it left off on the next CRON execution.
Q: Can I uninstall cleanly?
A: Yes, but the uninstall intentionally keeps your imported products (irreversible loss avoided). A "Selective deletion" zone in the Import tab allows granular cleanup with confirmation.
