Prestashop Odoo connector

The use of a traditional e-commerce solution can quickly find its limits when the needs of the company are specific and varied. This is why many companies are turning to synchronization between their different sales stations (here internet) and their management software (like Odoo). To enable proper integration of these different components, you need to work with the best tools, because the impact on business performance can be crucial.

The Prestashop Odoo connector allows trough the PrestaShop webService :

  • synchronization of catalog, orders, customers and stocks.
  • The different settings such as taxes,
  • Synchronization of countries and currencies.

PrestaShop is recognized as an instance and several instances can be linked to Odoo. The advantages can be multiple, from customer management to purchasing management, including inventory management and accounting management. This type of module is also widely used in B2B businesses to allow different sales platforms.

Role of the Connector

Thanks to this connector, tasks are well distributed between Prastashop and Odoo :

  • PrestaShop manages your front office : the product catalog, customer accounts, shopping carts, validation of orders and credit card payments, etc.
  • Odoo manages your back office : inventory management, supplier orders, merchandise returns, accounting, etc.

Once the connector is installed, we proceed to synchronize the following objects between Odoo and PrestaShop :

  • Languages
  • Countries
  • Carriers
  • Products

Then, you can import the first order from PrestaShop to Odoo. When the order is imported, the customer's account and their addresses in Prestashop are synchronized with Odoo.

To conclude

The Odoo Prestashop connector is a perfect working basis for establishing communication between an ERP and an online store. Using modules, we can connect Odoo to one or more instances of Prestashop (with versions of Prestashop type 1.5). CRM, inventory and accounting tools are much more manageable for a company with personalized processes and provide a common base for managing e-commerce sites.
