util1t1 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hi,After reading the forums and googling a bit, I haven't found any answer to this simple question:Is there a way to plug Prestashop on an existing MySQL database?I have already developped a website with it's own data model, and I would like to plug prestashop upon it to add an e-commerce feature.Is there a way to do this or the only way is to dialog with a .CSV file ?Thanks.

tomerg3 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Prestashop has it's own table structure.It can share the same database as your site, but if you want to add existing products, you'll have to use the import tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
util1t1 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Thanks for your quick reply.When you say it can share the same database, do you mean that I can add products, change their status etc... from my website?Is there a kind of API or so, or do I have to write SQL request by hand from my website to the Prestashop database ?Is it quite easy to do ?

tomerg3 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I thought you were just asking about actual database.There is no API that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
util1t1 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Ok, think I'm gonna try to develop my own basic e-commerce module for this site or just import csv file to prestashop every night or so to keep the database up to date.Thanks for your reply.
