Stickers

Stickers are colored badges on a product photo: “New”, “Bestseller”, “Sale”, “Free shipping”. They are visible in categories, search, specials, product modules, quick view and on the product page.

Open Octemplates → Stickers → Product stickers settings.

How it works

Stickers aren’t calculated when a page opens: the module checks the conditions for every active product in advance and saves the result. That keeps the site fast, but after changes you need to run generation.

1. Set up stickers

   Enable the standard ones you need, set conditions, texts and colors.

2. Run generation

   With the “Recalculate product stickers” button or a CRON job. Generation sets stickers for all products again using the saved settings.

3. Add a CRON job on your hosting

   So stickers update by themselves — for example, “New” disappears after 30 days and “Sale” when the special price ends. See below.

Settings and generation

• Module status — a disabled module hides all stickers on the site and removes the “Stickers” block from the product editor. Settings are kept.
• CRON password — any complex set of Latin letters and digits. It becomes part of the generation link and protects it from unwanted runs.
• CRON command — appears after you save the password. Add it to your hosting scheduler to run once a day, for example at night:

/usr/bin/wget -O - -q -t 1 'https://your-site/index.php?route=octemplates/stickers/cron_stickers&key=PASSWORD'

The “Recalculate product stickers” button runs generation right away. On a large catalog it can take a minute or two — don’t close the page. Save your changes before running it.

Standard stickers

Nine ready-made stickers. An automatic sticker is set by the module on all products that meet its condition:

Sticker	When it is set
New	The product was added no more than N days ago. For example, 30 — the sticker stays for a month.
Free shipping	The product price (including the sale) is not lower than the given amount. It’s only a badge — the module doesn’t change shipping itself.
Bestseller	At least the given number of units sold across all orders, except unfinished ones.
Popular	Product page views exceed the given number.
Sale	The product has an active special price. When the sale ends, the sticker disappears by itself.
Sold out	Stock equals the given number, usually 0 — out of stock.
Running out	Stock from 1 to the given number of units.
YouTube video	The product description contains an embedded YouTube video.
Recommended	Always manual — ticked in the product editor.

Sticker parameters

Parameter	What it does
Sticker enabled	A disabled sticker isn’t set on products and isn’t shown in the product editor.
Automatic	Turn off to make the sticker manual: it is ticked in the product editor.
Sticker text	A short badge text for each language, emoji allowed: “???? New”. Empty — the sticker isn’t shown in that language.
Text color and background color	Set separately for each sticker. The “How it will look” block shows a preview.
Sort order	A lower number — earlier among the product’s stickers.
Text sticker	For “Sale”: turn off if the discount percent next to the price is enough and a photo badge isn’t needed.
Discount percent next to price	For “Sale”: a “−20%” badge next to the old price in cards and on the product page.

Sticker icon

An icon can be shown next to the text: upload an image and set width and height (20 × 20 px by default). The description is shown as a tooltip on hover. For large sticker images — for example, a bank logo — turn on “Icon only”: only the image is shown, without text and background. Still fill in the sticker text: it identifies the sticker in the product editor.

Manual stickers

If “Automatic” is off, the sticker becomes manual: it appears only on products where it is ticked.

Open a product in Catalog → Products, the “Data” tab, the “Stickers” block — tick the ones you need and save the product.

The editor lists only enabled manual stickers that have a name in the admin language. For a single product the sticker is set when you save — no need to run generation.

Custom stickers

On the “Custom stickers” tab you can create your own: “Eco”, “Made to order”, “Gift”, “Free installation”.

1. Add a sticker

   Click “Add sticker”, enter the text for each language, choose colors and, if needed, add an icon.

2. Tick it on products

   Custom stickers are always manual: tick them in the product editor as described above.
