The PrestaShop under-construction page (or coming soon page) is a special page on the website that notifies customers of an update or website maintenance. If you want to use your own layout for the maintenance mode, you can also show a countdown timer on it.
When your business is growing rapidly, you may find that some modules are getting outdated or the theme needs to be improved. In such cases, you will need to enable maintenance mode on your PrestaShop site.
This article explains what it does and how to enable it on your website with a step-by-step guide.
This page prevents visitors from accessing the main functions of your shop in case you're developing the PrestaShop store or updating the product's information.
Let's say you're submitting a new product to your store, and you haven't completed the processing, but you still want to save the information. Set your store into maintenance mode to avoid any misunderstandings from your customers.

Promo codes are a good way to encourage new customers to buy from you, which can lead to repeat business. It also has the advantage of being very easy to implement.
Most eCommerce websites nowadays use this tactic to get more new customers into their websites.
Every single new customer that enjoys a discount is an opportunity to grow your business. They need a reason for their decision, and they should see the benefit of buying from you.
If they use your special promotions as a way to be the first place tested, they will spread the word about their great experience and some of them might use you as their store.
It works like this: A customer visits your website and gets excited by the product that they are looking at. But they're thinking about buying it. They then get asked a few questions that would help them make up their mind on whether they want to buy it or not. Questions like "Would you like to purchase this product now?".
If the customer can't find a reason, so they leave your website without buying anything.
But if you show amazing deals, everything will be easier. This is very good for customers who are just trying out your product, and you want to help them by getting them an offer they can't refuse.
