Step 1. Enable the "webservices" in the PrestaShop
The first step Partner makes is enabling the "webservices" in the PrestaShop's admin panel. During the process, a new webservice key is generated. X-Integrator application needs the webservice key to communicate with the shop.
Here are the links describing the process:
Step 2. Send shop details
Partner sends data required for adding their shop in the x-Integrator application:
- shop's url address
- webservices key (generated in previous step)
- email (more information in the next step)
Above data should be sent by email to the x-Integrator's Admin: admin@x-integrator.com
Step 3. Create the account
Admin, after receiving above data, generate an invitation for the Partner. The invitation is sent to the Partner's email (from prev. step).
Partner reacts by clicking the activation link and creating an account in the x-Integrator application.
During the account creating process, Partner sets their password and accepts the terms and conditions.
It's impossible to create an account without accepting the terms and conditions.
Here are descriptions of the account creation flow:
Step 4. Start of the integration
In the next step, the admin adds the partner's store to the application and analyzes it. As a result of the analysis, they may have additional questions needed to finalize the configuration. It is caused by the fact that each store can be different from the others and it will be necessary for the admin to gain more knowledge about the shop.
Step 5. Set the mapping
This step can be performed by the Admin, Account Manager or the Partner themself.
The goal is to associate the warehouses' categories with the shop's categories and setting the pricing strategies.
Step 6. StockingUp
Stocking-up means sending the warehouse's products to the Partner's shop. Stocking-up will take place on the night following the mapping setup and it cen take few hours.
After stocking-up, the products are visible in the shop, but are still inactive.
At this point, the Partner has the opportunity to check whether the products are set correctly, as expected. In case of any abnormalities the Partner submits corrections guidelines to the Admin or Account Manager. After receiving the confirmation, the Admin activates the products.
