Please view the interview questions & answers below:

Colectalia is an online stamp store and auction house, specialized in Spanish civil war (1936-1939) local stamps and postal history.

We needed to improve the bidding system in our website, which runs with a thirtybees (a Prestashop 1.6 fork) install that was migrated from Prestashop 1.6.23.

Webkul’s auction extension for Prestashop 1.6 has been the module that has helped us in our goal. Now we have the exact bidding system we needed.

Webkul’s auction extension, despite being designed for Prestashop, also works on any thirtybees install. Requested customizations of the module matched the exact requirements we needed to adapt this function to our customers and to our stamp business.

I would definitely recommend Webkul’s extensions and customization services to anyone on e-commerce. This company is a problem free solution: fast reply, excellent coders and great customer service. It has been a pleasure working with them, and it will not be the last time. We have some projects to improve several other functions in our website, and this top experience with Webkul has made it clear who will have our confidence to apply them.

Special thanks to Prerna Arora’s professionalism, in Prestashop department, for continuous assistance and efforts, who has been a key piece in the process of customization of the module.
