Previous versions of PrestaShop had hardcoded hard-coded customer genders: a customer could only choose between "Mr.", "Ms." and "Miss".
This helps you better define your customers: in the customers list, you can choose to only display one gender. Modules may also rely on genders for certain features.
Clicking on the "Add new" button brings you to a form:
- Name. You can choose anything, from the very common ("Sir", "Lady", "Gentleman", ...) to the very unusual ("Jedi", "Magnificent One", "Money carrier"...). The important thing when departing from the commonly accepted "genders" is to reflect your shop's true identity.
- Type. Some names may apply to both male and female customers. Be sure to set that option to "Neutral" then.
- Image. A 16*16 image file representing the gender. Classic gender symbol are the Mars and Venus one: ? and ?. PrestaShop enables you to characterize your creation with a unique image.
- Image width and Image height. PrestaShop works best with 16*16 image, and will resize your image if it bigger than that. You might feel necessary to use bigger images, and these two options enable you to set the exact size required by your image. If you enter "0", PrestaShop will simply use the original size.
