PrestaShop is a freemium, open source e-commerce platform. The software is published under the Open Software License (OSL)

Set up a connection

After you start the connection, configure it in the Create connection panel and complete all of the required * authentication settings:

Setting Instructions
Name your connection *

Enter a clear and distinguishable name.

Throughout integrator.io imports and exports, you will have the option to choose this new connection. A unique identifier will prove helpful later when selecting it from a list of the connections in your account.
Mode *

Select one of the following options:

  • Cloud to connect to a publicly accessible server application.
  • On-premise to connect to a server that is publicly inaccessible and has an integrator.io agent installed on it
Agent *

Select an agent from the list.

To connect to an on-premise application, integrator.io requires that an agent be installed on a networked computer. An agent is a small application that allows you to connect to data behind your firewall. When installing an agent, you will specify a unique access token, which then populates the Agent drop-down list. The installed agents connect to integrator.io and establish a reverse SSH tunnel, allowing secure communication without the need to whitelist integrator.io IP addresses in your firewall settings. A single agent can be used by multiple different connections.
Store URL*

Enter your PrestaShop account store URL.

For example, if your login URL is http://localhost/prestashop/admin12345, then enter http://localhost/prestashop.
API key*

Enter your PrestaShop API key.

Multiple layers of protection, including AES 256 encryption, are in place to keep your API key safe. When editing this connection, you must re-enter this value each time; it is stored only when the connection is saved and never displayed as text.
