Sync Products from Prestashop to WooCommerce Store Using API

Overview

In this guide, we will discuss the use case for syncing products from PrestaShop, an e-commerce platform, to a WooCommerce store using the miniOrange WooCommerce Product Sync Plugin.

If you have a WooCommerce store and PrestaShop is your inventory source, this guide will help you integrate PrestaShop's API with your WooCommerce store to import and synchronize product data such as inventory, categories, prices, and images.
The miniOrange WooCommerce Product Sync Plugin automates the process of keeping your PrestaShop catalog in sync with WooCommerce, reducing manual work and ensuring your store always reflects the latest information.

Features

• Import products from PrestaShop directly into your WooCommerce store.
• Filter products based on categories or any other attribute.
• Automatically update stock quantities from the PrestaShop API.
• Keep WooCommerce pricing synchronized with PrestaShop in real time.
• Import all product images and variations seamlessly.
• Schedule automated sync tasks to keep WooCommerce always up to date.

Requirements

To get started, you’ll need the following:

• A functioning WooCommerce store is installed on a WordPress website.
• The miniOrange WooCommerce Product Sync Plugin, which enables the integration between WooCommerce and PrestaShop APIs, is installed and activated.
• Authorized access to PrestaShop APIs for retrieving product data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Sync Products

Step 1: Setting Up the Plugin

First, log in to your WordPress admin dashboard. Go to the Plugins section, search for miniOrange WooCommerce Product Sync, then install and activate it. After activation, go to the plugin settings and enter the API credentials from your PrestaShop store, which include your Store URL and Webservice Key. This enables the plugin to connect securely to PrestaShop's API and synchronize products.

Step 2: Establishing the Connection

After entering your PrestaShop API credentials, click the "Test Configuration" button to check the connection. This test confirms that the plugin can successfully communicate with your PrestaShop store and retrieve product data. If the test passes, you can move on to the next step.

Step 3: Retrieving Product Information

Now that the connection is established, the plugin will connect to your PrestaShop API and fetch product data. This includes important details such as SKUs, product names, descriptions, prices, stock levels, and images. This ensures all the necessary data is ready to be synchronized with your WooCommerce store.

Step 4: Mapping Product Data

After retrieving the data, the plugin allows you to map PrestaShop's product fields to WooCommerce product fields. This makes sure that details such as SKU, price, stock quantity, descriptions, and attributes line up correctly with your WooCommerce store. You can adjust these mappings to fit your store's format before importing the products.

Step 5: Automating Product Addition

Once mapping is complete, the plugin automatically imports products from PrestaShop into your WooCommerce store, creating listings with accurate data. You can set up automatic syncs, such as daily or hourly, or run manual syncs whenever needed. This automation keeps your WooCommerce store updated with PrestaShop's latest product catalog, reducing manual work and avoiding data inconsistencies.

Benefits

• Time Efficiency: Automates product imports, stock updates, and pricing sync, reducing manual effort and speeding up catalog management.
• Accuracy: Minimizes errors by syncing directly from PrestaShop, ensuring details like SKUs, prices, and stock levels are always correct.

Conclusions

It removes the need for manual updates and keeps your store consistently updated with the latest product data, including stock levels, pricing, and descriptions.

This seamless integration between PrestaShop and WooCommerce makes your store more efficient, supports easy expansion of your product catalog, and ensures all product details remain in sync with PrestaShop's system.
