Product Icons Manager: Custom Overlay Badges on Your Product Images

Visual information drives purchasing decisions. A small badge overlaid on a product image can instantly communicate quality certifications, brand affiliations, compatibility standards, or exclusive status — without the customer needing to read a single line of text. The Product Icons Manager module for PrestaShop 9 lets you display custom overlay icons on product images based on category and manufacturer rules, giving your store a professional, informative presentation at a glance.

Why Add Overlay Icons to Your Products?

In a modern online store, customers scan dozens of products in seconds. Overlay icons allow merchants to highlight product attributes — certifications, brand logos, quality marks, compatibility badges — directly on the product image thumbnail, both in category listings and on the product page itself. This improves user experience, builds trust, and helps customers quickly find what they are looking for.

Key Features

  • Custom overlay icons: Upload your own icons (transparent PNG) and overlay them on product images across your store.
  • Category-based rules: Assign specific icons to entire product categories — the icon is applied automatically to every product within that category.
  • Manufacturer-based rules: Display a different icon for each brand or manufacturer — perfect for authorised dealers representing multiple brands.
  • Back-office icon set management: Create, organise, and manage all your icon sets directly from the PrestaShop admin panel.
  • Visible in listings and product pages: Icons appear consistently on both category listing pages and individual product pages for a uniform visual identity.
  • Full PrestaShop 9 compatibility: Native Symfony architecture with no core overrides — lightweight, stable, and upgrade-safe.

Use Cases

  • Authorised dealers: Display manufacturer logos as overlay icons on every product from that brand.
  • Quality certifications: Mark products with CE, ISO, or other certification badges to build buyer confidence.
  • Exclusive distribution: Highlight which products you distribute exclusively in your country or region.
  • Compatibility indicators: Show compatibility with specific systems, standards, or materials directly on the product image.

Benefits for the Merchant

The Product Icons Manager turns product images into information carriers without altering the original photos. The visual labelling increases trust, strengthens brand recognition for the manufacturers you represent, and guides customers to their purchase decision faster — all with a lightweight, no-code solution managed entirely from your back office.
