# PrestaShop

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.
