Integrations and automation
Connections between your PrestaShop store and the systems around it, and removing repetitive manual work — so the same data is not entered twice.
What integrations are built for
These describe kinds of data and types of system, not product names. Each integration is built for the systems actually in use.
Product data exchange
Moving products, price lists and attributes between systems so that the same information stays consistent in each of them.
Stock and availability
Synchronising stock levels and availability when the data originates in more than one system or more than one location.
Order transfers
Passing orders on to fulfilment, picking or invoicing without the same lines being entered by hand a second time.
ERP and accounting connections
Connections to enterprise resource planning and financial systems: what moves, in which direction, and how often.
Supplier and distributor feeds
Reading supplier price, stock and product files, normalising them and importing them into the store repeatably.
Reporting and data consolidation
Bringing data together into reports and extracts when the view you need does not exist in any single system.
Background process automation
Scheduled jobs for file transfers, checks and summaries that are currently done the same way by hand each week.
Company-specific APIs
An interface to or around the store when data is needed in a system that has no ready-made connector.
What gets solved first
Most integration problems are not in moving the data. They are in what happens when something goes wrong.
Failure handling is part of the build
An integration that only works when everything succeeds is not finished. A failed run has to be visible and repeatable.
Idempotency
Running the same data twice must not duplicate records. This is designed before the first run, not patched afterwards.
Logging and traceability
Transfers leave a trace, so that later it is possible to establish what moved and when.
What we go through first
Technical details are settled case by case. These questions determine the scope of the work.
- which system the data is available from, and in what format
- which system is the authoritative source for each field
- how often the data has to move
- what should happen when a file is incomplete or a run fails
- how a successful transfer is confirmed
No named connectors are promised
There is no list of supported systems on this page, because compatibility always depends on the version of the target system, the interface it exposes and the data actually available. That is established before the work starts rather than claimed in advance.
