Add-on - Stickers

This is the most technological implementation of sticker functionality for products in CS-Cart. Its great for SEO,  page speed performance and will improve behavioral factors and user involvement.

Add-on allows user to add 2 sticker types for products in the store: static and dynamic.

Static stickers ‒ stickers that are associated with the product manually or on basis of created conditions that were used for generation (or automatic sticker name). There is a direct created connection between static sticker and product (sticker id - product id). When you use this sticker type, you don’t need any additional server resources when generating the page (it’s the most economic realization in the context of server resources).
To automate sticker appointment, there is a function of “generation” that solve a problem of automatic appointment and actualization of stickers. To generate, you should create conditions and activate the task for actualization in CRON (scheduled execution of operation).
To generate (for automatic appointment) static stickers, the following conditions are available: product price, product features, product categories, signs of stockpiles, weight, feature of novelty, popularity, product quantity, tags and product reviews.
There is export/import process of product stickers that provides scope for massive adding of stickers for products.

Dynamic stickers ‒ stickers that are added during product page generation on the bases of product information and are generated without preparatory appointment for products. The main purpose of such stickers is work with dynamic characteristics that may become irrelevant (e.g., promotions, product availability, amount of a discount). In such a case, there are no created relations for dynamic stickers that could be saved in database. Usage of such sticker type may require server resources when generating pages of the store, as queries to DB may operate to get some data.
A set of conditions is provided for dynamic stickers use: discount, rating, quantity discounts, free shipping, preorder, promotion, product rating etc.

Every sticker type may have graphic or text style.
Graphic stickers ‒ use images, Text stickers ‒ stylized text label (text can be different for different devices: PC and Phones). There are several style variants and display settings provided for Text stickers. Moreover, it is possible to use placeholders, font icons that are used in the theme, special tags (from available list) and emoji for text fields of the stickers.
