PrestaShop Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect your PrestaShop store to Describelio. You will create a WebService API key that allows Describelio to read and update your product descriptions.

  1. Prerequisites

    You need PrestaShop 8.x or newer with HTTPS enabled (required for API security) and admin access to the back office.

  2. Enable WebService API

    In your PrestaShop back office, go to Advanced Parameters > WebService and toggle the service to Enabled.

  3. Create API Key

    Click “Add new key”. PrestaShop will generate a unique API key for you.

  4. Set Permissions

    In the permissions table, check View and Modify for “products” and View for “product_features”.

  5. Copy API Key

    Save the key and copy it immediately. The full key is only shown once after creation.

  6. Find Store URL

    Your store URL is the base address of your PrestaShop installation. For example:

    https://yourshop.com
  7. Connect in Describelio

    Go to Shops > Add Shop, select PrestaShop, and paste your API key and store URL.
