SELLER END

Once the admin installs the app, a new sub-menu gets added in the Configuration menu of the Seller Panel. Seller needs to configure the PrestaShop details from this section of the app.

PrestaShop App Configuration:

-Seller will enter the URL of his/her PrestaShop.
Note:- URL added must be added without the language code.

-Seller will enter the Weight Unit of PrestaShop.
-Seller will enter the Dimension Unit of his/her PrestaShop.
-Paste the access token generated from PrestaShop. Later in this module, we will see how the seller will generate the access token on his/her PrestaShop.
-Seller will enter the Payment Method Name and Payment Method Module of his/her PrestaShop.

By saving the details, Seller will move forward to map Collection, Product Type & Product Tag.

-Category Mapping
From this section, Seller will map admin’s pre-defined Shopify store collections with seller’s PrestaShop Collection.

Note:- Make sure that admin has enabled the “Restrict Collection” tab from MV admin panel.

Clicking on the Map Collection, the seller will get the option to select collection of admin’s store and map the same with the collections of his/her PrestaShop. This will be a One to Many Mapping. 

-Tag Mapping 
Seller will map all the Product’s Tags of admin’s Shopify store with the tags of his/her PrestaShop.
Note:- Make sure that admin has enabled the “Restrict Product Tag” tab from MV admin panel.

Clicking on the Map Tags button, Seller will enter the product tag created by admin and the tags of his/her PrestaShop to map them with each other. This will be a One to Many Mapping.

-Type Mapping
Seller will map the product type of admin’s Shopify store with product type of his own PrestaShop store. This will be a One to One Mapping.
Note:- Make sure that admin has enabled the “Restrict Product Type” tab from MV admin panel.

The seller can enable/disable or delete the mapped Product Tag & Product Type.

As soon as the Seller Configures the PrestaShop details, Seller will get the option to import his/her PrestaShop’s products to admin’s Shopify Store.

Clicking on the “Import Product” button added in the seller panel, Seller can import products using any of the three methods.

Method 1: By Selecting Duration
Using this method, Seller will select the From & To date and import the product between the chosen date.

2nd Method: By Selecting Product ID
Also, Seller will enter comma separated product IDs of his/her PrestaShop store and import them in one go.

Method 3: By Selecting Range
Using this method, Seller will enter the range of product IDs of his/her PrestaShop and import them at a time.

This way, Seller can import their PrestaShop Products to admin’s Shopify Store.

To generate access token on PrestaShop, Seller needs to follow certain steps that are as follows:

• Login to PrestaShop.
• Search to Configure.
• Go to Advanced Parameters.
• Click on Webservice.
• Click on “Add new Webservice Key“.
• Now, Click on “Generate” button & assign different permissions.
• This way, you can generate the access token to make this feature work.

Note:- Once the Seller installs any module for the first time on his/her PrestaShop, make sure that the Seller has enabled the “PrestaShop Webservice” from the Configuration section (as shown in above screenshot).

As soon as the Seller imports his PrestaShop products to admin’s marketplace, the imported products will be in “Approval Pending” state at both admin & seller panel.

You can view the imported products in the “Product Listing” section of the admin panel.

Admin can anytime enable or deny the imported product with a reason.

Once the admin approves the product, the same will reflect at seller side too.

Once an order is placed at the Shopify store for the seller product, then the same order will be created on PrestaShop also. Accordingly, inventory will be managed at both the ends i.e. at PrestaShop as well as at Multivendor App.

Once an order is Shipped on PrestaShop, the same will be fulfilled on Multivendor App.
An order delivered on PrestaShop will be updated on Multivendor App and vice-versa.

If an order is canceled or refunded on Shopify, the inventory will be updated on PrestaShop automatically.

The same order is created at PrestaShop also.
