What Is Prestashop?
Prestashop is an online store. Customers use the Prestashop platform to buy products and equipment for their needs. Customers pay for their orders on Prestashop using credit cards and other payment options. All the orders and their payment are managed by Prestashop
How Prestashop Works?
In short, Prestashop functions similarly to a drop shipping website. customers visit the website to submit their orders. The customer pays for the order once it has been confirmed. Subsequently, a purchase order is generated for the vendor, containing their product and customer details. Subsequently, the vendor ships that item from their warehouses to the client.
Customer Challenges
First of all, the bills would have to be customized according to different ways of making payments. The customer would prefer that the invoice be created in Odoo at the different stages according to selected payment methods.
Additionally, to maintain comprehensive tracking within Odoo, the customer would like the ability to link the tracking ID of the sales order with invoices issued in Odoo.
Furthermore, to streamline the validation process of purchase orders in Odoo, the customer wishes to sync purchase orders from PrestaShop at the draft stage, accompanied by the tracking ID.
It is understood that handling purchase orders, invoicing, and product synchronization across several systems may be quite difficult and may lead to mistakes, hold-ups, and discrepancies. In this hypothetical situation, creating a smooth connectivity between PrestaShop and Odoo becomes crucial because the consumer expects accurate and timely billing.
Our integration Process
We sync all the products together with the pertinent data through API development. We also created a configuration in Odoo for products. This allowed us to sync products in Odoo from Prestashop. so that we can use the product configuration to update the product information in Odoo whenever a new product is generated, or modifications are made on Prestashop.
For invoices, we created an API with the relevant parameters that need to be updated in odoo from Prestashop. So, when the user creates the SO and syncs in odoo, then it creates the invoice immediately in odoo with all the requirement parameters given in the API.
For the purchase order, we created an API with the relevant parameters. So, when the user creates a PO on Prestashop and syncs in odoo, then it creates the purchase order in the draft stage immediately in odoo with all the required parameters given in the API.
