PrestaShop

Overview of Violet's PrestaShop integration for channel developers

PrestaShop is an open-source ecommerce platform widely used in Europe. Violet integrates via PrestaShop's built-in web service API, with enhanced functionality available through the Violet PrestaShop extension.

Connection

Merchants provide an API Key and their Store URL. The API key is generated in the PrestaShop admin under Advanced Parameters → Webservice.

Violet Extension (Required for Full Functionality)

The Violet PrestaShop extension must be installed for the integration to function correctly. The extension enables real-time webhook notifications and provides additional endpoints for order management. Without it, Violet will return an error during authentication.

The extension is compatible with PrestaShop 1.7 and above.

API Key Permissions

The API key used for the integration requires access to the following PrestaShop resources:

• Orders (read/write)

• Products (read)

• Customers (read/write)

• Configurations (read)

• Currencies (read)

• Shops and Shop URLs (read)

Violet validates API access during authentication and will return an error if required permissions are missing.

Notable Behavior

• Store URL: The store URL must include the full base URL with https:// prefix.

• Multi-store: PrestaShop supports multi-store configurations. Violet connects to the primary shop by default.

• Currency: Currency is read from the store's configured default currency during connection.
