The goal of these connectors is to upload orders that pass through bindCommerce to PrestaShop, both for updating purposes, for example, to update the status of orders on PrestaShop and add information such as tracking number, shipping date and courier, or to upload orders from other platforms to the same.

The execution of the connectors can take place automatically (scheduled procedure), or manually.

Correspondence creation for order status normalization

Uploading orders to a Prestashop shop requires that correspondences be created between the external order statuses and those registered on your site.

In order to create these matches, it is necessary to follow the instructions given in the specific Order Status Normalization tutorial.

 

Configuration for uploading orders on Prestashop

The first thing to do will be to create a special configuration for the connector that will take care of loading the orders. Then go to the menu:

eCommerce >> Prestashop >> Order upload

A page will open containing all the possible options to fill in

Common options

In this section, we can specify an option for Order Transformation and specify whether the update will be minimal or complete. The minimal update will only send information related to status and tracking number.

Attributes

This tab allows you to indicate, if necessary, the attributes that determine the color and size.

Prestashop

In this tab it is necessary to enter a series of specific data for Prestashop and necessary for order loading to be successful:

• Node Prestashop: choose the Prestashop node previously created
• Language selection: allows you to choose in which languages, installed on the Prestashop store, to import orders. This information is downloaded from the Prestashop configuration download connector.
• Payment method to be applied to all downloaded orders: allows you to specify the same payment method for all downloaded orders or, leaving the field blank, this information is taken from the orders themselves.
• Server where to upload the order file: specify the server address.
• Folder on the server to save the order file: the folder must correspond to the one in which the site was installed.
• FTP user: username used for connection.
• Password FTP: password used for connection.
• bindCommerce script address: enter the address of the bindCommerceLoadOrders.php file loaded on the server.

Order uploading connector

We remind you that before creating the connector it is necessary to install the Prestashop node on which the connector will operate. After doing this, go to the menu:

Process >> Connectors

and click on the Add button.

The following parameters must therefore be chosen:

• Connector name: scegliere un nome per identificare il connettore
• Node type (technology): select eCommerce Prestashop
• Node: choose the previously created node
• Connector Type: Choose the type of connector: eCommerce Prestashop [Uploading orders on PrestaShop]

After having set all the parameters, click on the SAVE AND CONTINUE button. The page will reload and you will be able to parameterize the connector options.

• Configuration: from the drop-down menu indicate the order uploading configuration created previously
• Order filter: if necessary, specify the previously created order filter. For more information on this, consult this section of the guide: Setting filters on orders.
  
  

As is already the case for other connectors, the execution can take place manually (by clicking on Run the connector immediately?), Or automatically by means of a scheduled procedure.
