How to install ChannelConnector for Prestashop

In this guide, we will show you how to install our ChannelConnector module for Prestashop.

Keep in mind that Prestashop is also available as a traditional connection in Sello, making it possible to use Sello as your main platform, read more here.

ChannelConnector lets you integrate with all supported sales channels directly in your own webshop. This module then utilizes Sello's architecture to synchronize products between your system and marketplaces. Orders are received in Sello and sent to your system as well.

This set-up is great for sellers who are comfortable working with products and orders in their own system and wish to keep it that way.

In order to use the ChannelConnector module for Prestashop, you'll need a Sello account.
