ERP / E-commerce Connector
ERP-PrestaShop Connector
Open-Flux is a middleware connector that automatically synchronizes your ERP with your PrestaShop store. Products, variants, stock, pricing, customers, and orders are synchronized at the frequency you choose, without any manual re-entry.
Definition
What is an ERP PrestaShop connector?
An ERP PrestaShop connector is a middleware that automatically synchronizes products, stock, pricing, customers, and orders between the ERP and the PrestaShop e-commerce platform, eliminating any manual re-entry.
In practice, this connector enables you to:
- Automatically export your products, stock, and pricing from ERP to PrestaShop
- Automatically import orders placed on PrestaShop into ERP
- Synchronize stock levels at a defined frequency to prevent overselling
- Update order statuses and send tracking numbers
Open-Flux is the connector solution developed by MySolutionConnect, a company with over 35 years of experience in the world of business management. With over 1,000 customers and 100 partners, Open-Flux is compatible with the main ERP systems on the market (Sage, Cegid, EBP, Wavesoft...) and the leading e-commerce platforms (PrestaShop, WooCommerce, Magento...).
Who is this connector for?
The ERP PrestaShop connector is designed for companies that:
- Use ERP for sales management and/or accounting
- Have a PrestaShop store (all plans: Basic, PrestaShop, Advanced, Plus)
- Want to automate data exchange between their ERP and e-commerce
- Want to eliminate manual tasks and the related errors
- Need a single, unified view of their online and offline activity
The challenge of ERP / E-commerce integration
Without a connector, teams must manually re-enter web orders into the ERP, update stock on the website, and check price consistency. These repetitive tasks take time, create errors, and slow down e-commerce growth.
An automated connector like Open-Flux removes these frictions and allows teams to focus on higher-value work: customer service, business development, and sales analysis.
Challenges
Why connect ERP with PrestaShop?
Connecting your ERP to your PrestaShop store transforms your daily operations. Here is the before/after comparison once the connector is implemented.
- Manual re-entry of every PrestaShop order into the ERP
- Manual stock updates multiple times a day
- Risk of errors in pricing, quantities, and references
- Frequent overselling and stockouts
- Time wasted on repetitive tasks
- Customer data split across two systems
- Difficulty handling high order volumes
- Tracking information not sent to the customer
- Orders automatically imported into ERP
- Stock synchronized at the frequency you choose
- Reliable, consistent data across both systems
- PrestaShop stock always aligned with real stock
- Teams freed up for higher-value work
- Unified customer view (history, addresses, terms)
- Ability to handle order spikes without overload
- Tracking numbers sent automatically
A company processing several dozen orders per day can spend hours daily re-entering them without a connector. With Open-Flux, this task is automated 100%, freeing up valuable time that can be redirected to customer service or business development.

How it works
How does the ERP-PrestaShop connector work?
Open-Flux acts as an intelligent gateway between ERP and PrestaShop. Here is how it works:
Technical architecture
The connector is deployed on a workstation or server with access to your ERP environment. It communicates with:
- ERP: via the integration mechanisms available in your environment (API, database access, web services, or ERP-specific connectors)
- PrestaShop: via PrestaShop’s official REST and GraphQL Admin API
Outbound flows (ERP → PrestaShop)
Product, stock, and pricing data are extracted from ERP based on your criteria. The connector applies transformation rules (field mapping, conversions) and then sends the data to PrestaShop through its API. Products are created or updated automatically in your store.
Synchronization runs at the frequency you define: every 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, or on a custom schedule.
Inbound flows (PrestaShop → ERP)
The connector regularly queries PrestaShop to retrieve new orders. For each order, it creates in ERP:
- The customer: automatically created if new, or matched to an existing customer (email lookup)
- The sales document: quote, order, delivery note, or invoice depending on your configuration
- Order lines: products, quantities, unit prices, discounts if applicable
- Additional information: shipping fees, payment method, carrier, customer comments
Error handling and logs
Each synchronization is recorded in a detailed log. If an error occurs (unknown product, insufficient stock, invalid customer, incorrect format), the connector:
- Generates an alert (email, dashboard)
- Flags the record as an error pending correction
- Continues processing the remaining data
- Allows manual restart after correction
Deployment
Connector implementation
Implementing an ERP PrestaShop connector with Open-Flux follows a structured 4-phase process.
After go-live, our team remains available: technical support, configuration adjustments, and onboarding of new flows. You will have a dedicated contact who understands your environment.
Required setup
Technical requirements
To deploy the Open-Flux connector between ERP and PrestaShop, the following elements are required:
- Access to the ERP environment: ideally via remote desktop or equivalent technical access during the setup phase
- Access to the data: database, API, or web services depending on the ERP solution used
- Technical credentials: username and password with sufficient permissions for data access and configuration
- Integration components: any APIs, connectors, or technical modules required by the ERP environment
- PrestaShop plan: Basic, PrestaShop, Advanced, or Plus (all supported)
- Admin access: account with admin permissions on the store
- Custom App: created in the PrestaShop admin, with the required permissions (products, inventory, orders, customers)
- Internet access: outbound HTTPS access to the PrestaShop API
- Connection stability: stable connection to ensure reliable synchronizations
We recommend having an ERP staging environment (a copy of your database) for configuration and testing. It must be structurally identical to production.
