Prestashop Integration

Follow these guide to successfully integrate Droplo’s supplier database with your Prestashop store. 🙂

Installation

Go to the Integrations tab and click on the Prestashop field.

Full description of the integration will open. To activate the trial period, click on the Test for free for 7 days button. If you do not need a trial period and want to activate your subscription straight away, use the Purchase access button.

A. By selecting Test for free for 7 days, a window will appear where you will be told until when you can use the integration for free. Use the Start trial period button to proceed.

You will be taken to the Subscription and payments panel where, in the list of Active subscriptions, you will notice your integration and the information until when it will be active for your account during the trial period.

You can end the trial period at any time before the full 7 days have elapsed.

To do this, in the Subscription and payments tab use the Cancel subscription function, next to the service you do not wish to continue. Access to the integration will expire when the full 7 days have passed.

After activating the trial period for Prestashop in Droplo, you will see a new section in the main menu on the left side of the panel: MY INTEGRATIONS. In this section you will find a shortcut to your Prestashop integration. Click on it to open the configuration panel.

Note: Next to the integration shortcut there is a counter of days left for you to use on the test period (Test 7 days). Using the Activate button, you can activate your subscription early. This action will force the first payment for monthly or annual access to the integration.

B. By selecting the Purchase access option, you will be taken to the payment card for access to the integration. Choose whether you want to pay it monthly or annually (in advance). Once the first payment has been sent, the integration will be fully activated for your account.

Making a connection

Go to the Prestashop configuration panel in Droplo using the shortcut in the left menu:

In order to pass this step you need to get the authorisation data from your Prestashop admin panel:

• API key

• Your Prestashop address (eg. https://example.com)

To generate an API key, log in to your PrestaShop account, then in the customer panel menu find the Configure section and click Advanced Parameters ➡ Webservice ➡ Add new webservice key.

Generate and describe the key (e.g., “Droplo integration”). In addition, assign ALL permissions for resources:

Fill in the blanks using the webservice key obtained from your Prestashop panel and your store’s URL address.

Finally, click on Connect. The connection to Prestashop will be established in a few seconds.

Configuration

You now have access to the Prestashop Exporter by Droplo application. This tool gives you the ability to manage your Prestashop store integration.

You can easily configure various integration parameters in the exporter, such as:

• Global mark-up – set the percent or amount margin on exported products;

• Currency – choose the currency of your sales channel;

• Synchronization – turn on/off automatic synchronization of prices and inventories;

• Export language – choose in which language should the products be exported

• Set tax – you can choose how the prices should be calculated regarding taxes

When the configuration is complete, use the Save button.

If you’ve already created categories in your Prestashop dashboard, you’ll need to map those categories with Droplo before exporting products to the sales channel.

Important! Category mapping will only be available if at least 1 product from any supplier is saved in your list.

Once you’ve saved product(s), go to the Category Mapping tab and assign Droplo categories to the most related versions of categories from your store.

When you finish assigning each category in the list, click on Save button.

Export products to Prestashop

After saving your category mapping settings, you can go to the My Products tab and export the selected products to Prestashop via the More Actions -> Add to sales channels function.

A new window will appear where you can choose which integration you want to upload products to. If the integration has encountered errors, e.g. with the connection, a message will appear at the top of the window.

In this case, check again that the configuration has been done correctly on the Droplo side as well as on the Prestashop side.

Note: If you want to remove products from Prestashop, don’t do it on the side of your sales channel. Remember to always manage your products from within Droplo.

This is because Droplo is the source for updating products in your store. Operating on products outside of Droplo may cause synchronization issues.

However, if you don’t want prices or inventory to be updated automatically on the store side, change the synchronization settings for your Prestashop integration in Droplo.
