Introduction

Field groups are a feature added by the Custom Field Groups module for Prestashop. This feature allows you to structure and customize forms in the back office and integrate them into various entities (products, categories, customers, addresses, etc.).

The complete list of entities is available in the Field Group settings section.

Purpose of Field Groups​

Field groups, introduced by this module, serve primarily to:

  • Accelerate development: Save time by bypassing most backend development. Generate modules based on field groups to avoid manual configuration.

  • Organize data: Group and integrate relevant information into your back-office forms for better readability and management without writing any code. Easily retrieve this data from your backend and frontend code.

  • Customize forms: Create forms tailored to the specific needs of your online store by adding fields that are not native to Prestashop.

  • Improve user experience: Simplify data entry and management in the back office by optimizing the user interface for administrators. Field groups are automatically integrated into forms and use Prestashop's native functions. Utilize advanced features such as drag-and-drop reorganization of elements and reusing different files across your various pages to enhance the user experience for both your customers and site administrators.
