Send to a friend

With this free module you can add a feature to your product pages commonly named "send to a friend". This feature allows your shop's product pages visitors to send an email to friend with url of viewed product page. This feature was available in PrestaShop 1.6 by default, unfortuantely in PrestaShop 1.7, 8.x and 9.x it isn't. With this free addon you can build "send to a friend" form again!

The "Send to a friend" module for PrestaShop 9.x, 8.x, and 1.7 reinstates a vital feature on product pages. It allows visitors to effortlessly share links to interesting products with their friends via email. This valued functionality, natively present in PrestaShop 1.6, was unfortunately removed in version 1.7 and subsequent releases. With this free add-on, stores can once again provide users with a convenient way to share products, enhancing customer engagement and promotional potential. The module is essential for any e-commerce platform aiming to maximize viral marketing and facilitate content sharing.

Bring back the “Send to a Friend” feature. <span class="text-blue-700" data-mce-mark="1">Free module</span> for PrestaShop 9.x, 8.x &amp; 1.7. Visitors to your product pages can send the product link to a friend by email—with one click. This feature was built into PrestaShop 1.6 but was dropped in 1.7. With this free add-on you get a clean, GDPR-aware “Send to a Friend” form again: customizable email subject, optional privacy consent, and no core overrides.

Why “Send to a Friend” still drives word-of-mouth When a customer finds a product they love, they often want to share it—with a partner, a friend, or a colleague. Copy-pasting the URL into an email or messenger works, but it’s clunky. A dedicated “Send to a Friend” action on the product page is faster and feels intentional: one click, a short form, and the friend gets a proper email with the product link and a personal note from the sender.

PrestaShop 1.6 offered this out of the box. From 1.7 onward, the feature was dropped. Many stores missed it. This free module restores it without touching core files: a button on the product page opens a popup (Fancybox) with the product image and short description, fields for the friend’s name and email, and—for guests—the sender’s name. Submitting sends a professional, multilingual email with a configurable subject line. You stay in control: enable or disable GDPR consent (checkbox + link to your privacy CMS page), set the email title per language with placeholders for sender and product name, and rely on built-in validation (name length, no URLs in name, valid email). The friend receives a clear, shop-branded message with a direct link to the product. Simple, effective, and free.
