Adding a New User

Adding a new user on MarketRock is done as usual from the Prestashop menu by accessing Prestashop Settings > Users. From this section, you can create or manage the various linked users.

Setting the "Prestashop API Address" Field

When creating a new user, one of the key fields to fill in is the Prestashop API Address. To obtain this information:

1. Go to Prestashop > Advanced Parameters > Webservice.
2. Retrieve the API address as displayed on the page.

Generating API Keys

From the same Prestashop page, by clicking on "Add a new service key", you can create an API key that must later be entered into MarketRock. Here’s how to correctly fill in the API key creation page:

• Key: Click on the Create button to let Prestashop generate a key automatically. This is the value you will need to copy and enter into MarketRock.
• Key Description: Enter "MarketRock" to easily identify this key.
• Enable Webservice Key: Leave the option set to Yes.
• Permissions: You can select all permissions or, if you prefer to limit MarketRock’s access to certain resources, click on All and select the following entries:
  • carriers, countries, currencies, customers, customizations, deliveries, order_carriers, order_details, order_histories, order_invoices, order_payments, order_states, orders, product_customization_fields, product_options, shops, states.

Entering Data on MarketRock

Once you have obtained the Prestashop API Address and API Key, enter them into MarketRock. MarketRock will automatically verify the correctness of the entered data.

• If the data is correct, the user creation window will expand, allowing you to complete the operation.
• If the data is incorrect, you will receive a red error message.

Additional Configuration on MarketRock

After passing the API verification, you need to configure two additional settings:

1. Prestashop Store: Select the Prestashop store to link to this user. This selection is necessary because multiple stores can be hosted on a single Prestashop installation. If the customer has multiple sites on Prestashop, you will need to link a different user for each site.

2. Update Carrier During Shipment: This option allows you to automatically update the carrier's name associated with the order on Prestashop when you mark an order as shipped on MarketRock.
   Important: For this function to work correctly, the carrier name on MarketRock must match the one defined on Prestashop.

To verify the carriers defined on Prestashop, go to Shipping > Carriers. If there is a discrepancy between the names (for example, MarketRock has "BRT" while Prestashop has "Bartolini"), the carrier name in the Prestashop order will not be updated.

Current Functionalities

Currently, MarketRock supports:

Automatic order download from Prestashop every 10-15 minutes.
Shipping status updates from MarketRock to Prestashop.
