Allowing access to the back office
Before you can connect PrestaShop and Inventory Planner, you need to allow access to the web service.
To do so, log into PrestaShop and go to Advanced Parameters > Web service. On that page, set "Enable PrestaShop Web service" to "Yes".
Creating access
Once you've enabled the web service, click the "Add New" button to access the account configuration section. A long form appears:
Key: Click the "Generate" button to generate an authentication key. You can also create your own (which must be 32 characters long), but using a generated key prevents wrong-doers from guessing your key. Using this key, you and other selected users will be able to access the web service.
Key description: The description is not public, but make sure to put all the keywords pertaining to the use, so that you can find the key quickly if needed.
Status: You can disable any key at any time.
Permissions: This section is very important, as it enables you to assign rights for each resource you want to make available for this key. Inventory Planner needs to read your data, so enable read access for all resources. The exact list of resources for Inventory Planner is the following (Note: there are several resources that look the same - for example, suppliers and product_suppliers. All of them need to be selected):
categories
combinations
contacts
currencies
images
manufacturers
orders
order_details
products
product_features
product_feature_values
product_options
product_option_values
product_suppliers
stocks
stock_availables
suppliers
tags
Shop association: This only appears in multistore mode.
