pberce Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I understand what it does, what I am struggling with is a reason to use it. Can anyone give an example why you would use a web service to interact with your Prestashop installation? What I am NOT asking for are answers such as "to update your customers" or "manage your images". What I am looking for is why am I using the web service to "manage my images" rather than using the back-office interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsifal Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Hello pberce. The main reason to use PrestaShop's Web service is when you would want to interact with your shop programmatically, i.e. not via human interaction (clicks and typing in the BO) but via web or desktop scripts and applications that are foreign to PrestaShop.

pipeacosta Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Agree with parsifal. Aditionally, with the web service, you can make your prestashop to interoperate with other plattforms (e.g. ERP software). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
