Step 2: Set up your PrestaShop connection

  1. In Channable, open the project you want to import your product data to.
  2. Go to Setup, click + Set up import and select PrestaShop Plugin.
  3. Select your PrestaShop connection.
  4. For Name, give your channel a descriptive name (e.g. "PrestaShop EN")
  5. Click Start import. You'll be redirected to the Edit Mapping step to map your product information.
     

Step 3: Map your product data

Edit mapping displays fields retrieved from your PrestaShop account (e.g. price, description, title). 

In this step, match your imported fields to Channable's standardized project fields. Channable does most mapping automatically, but it's important to review and adjust before importing.

  1. Compare and adjust mapping.
    • Review your Import fields against Channable's matched Project fields. If a field was matched incorrectly, click on the field to select a different field.
  2. Check and correct field types.
    • Check that the right field type is assigned to your project fields. If a field has the wrong type, click Edit next to the field, select the correct type in the dropdown, and click Save & Import.
  3. Exclude fields (optional).
    • To exclude a field from being included in your product data, click the checkbox in the Select column for that field and click Do not import selected fields.
  4. Once you've finished mapping, click Save & Import to start importing your PrestaShop product data.

Step 4: Review your imported items

After your product data has finished importing:

  1. Go to the Items page to view your imported products.
  2. Click on an item to see detailed information.
