Case Study: How Sportminedor Created Secure PrestaShop Club Shops and Boosted B2B Sales

Executive Summary

French sports retailer Sportminedor.com (Badminton, Handball, Volleyball, Padel) needed to offer exclusive team gear to partner athletic clubs without exposing custom inventory or negotiated rates to public retail shoppers. By deploying the PrestaShop Password Protect Module, they built a secure B2B/B2C hybrid store within a single storefront.

The Challenge: Managing Multiple Private B2B Portals

As Sportminedor’s club partnerships grew, managing exclusive inventory became an e-commerce bottleneck. They required a solution to:

• Restrict Category Access: Hide and lock custom-branded club apparel from general public retail shoppers.
• Streamline B2B Onboarding: Avoid manual registration approvals or complex customer group rules that slow down seasonal sales.
• Eliminate Multi-Store Overhead: Manage dozens of distinct partner club portals without the high development costs of a PrestaShop multi-store setup.

The Solution: Targeted Category-Level Password Protection

Sportminedor integrated the PrestaShop Password Protect Module by FME Modules to enforce precise, rule-based gatekeeping across their storefront:

• Isolated Club Categories: They created dedicated categories for individual partner clubs and secured each with a unique password distributed directly by club managers.
• Custom Login Screens: Unauthorized visitors hitting a locked URL see a customized, professional landing page explaining access restrictions alongside a B2B contact form.
• Frictionless Shopping: Optimized cookie session tracking ensures club members only input their password once per session, preserving a fast checkout experience.

The Results: Efficient Operations and Scalable B2B Growth

• Rapid Partner Deployment: Onboarding a new club now takes minutes instead of days; staff simply create a category, upload inventory, and assign a password.
• Zero Accidental Purchases: Completely eliminated customer service overhead caused by retail buyers accidentally ordering restricted, custom-printed team jerseys.
• Boosted Seasonal Revenue: Secure, direct access allowed clubs to coordinate bulk apparel orders quickly ahead of competitive sport seasons.
