API Credentials for PrestaShop

To connect to your PrestaShop store’s API you only need one piece of information: the "API Key." Below you’ll find a step‑by‑step guide that walks you through getting the key and saving it safely.

API Key

1. 1

   Log in to your PrestaShop back‑office.

2. 2

   In the left‑hand menu go to “Configure” > “Advanced Parameters” > “Webservice.”

3. 3

   Enable the option “Enable PrestaShop’s Webservice” by selecting “YES” and click “Save.” This activates the API service.

4. 4

   On the same page, click the “Add new webservice key” button (the “+” icon in the upper‑right corner).

5. 5

   In the “Key” field, click “Generate” so PrestaShop automatically creates a unique 32‑character key (you can type your own, but using the generated one is the usual choice).

6. 6

   Optional but recommended: enter a short text in “Key description” to remember what the key is for (e.g., “Botize integration”).

7. 7

   In the “Permissions” section, tick only the resources and actions your app needs (View, Modify, Add, Delete). If you’re unsure, start with “View” only and add more permissions later.

8. 8

   Make sure the “Status” switch is set to “YES” so the key is active right away.

9. 9

   Click “Save” at the bottom of the page to store the new key.

10. 10

    After saving, the key appears in the list. Click the copy icon or manually select the text and store it somewhere safe.
