Follow these four steps to connect your store to PrestaKick and test the Widget.
Preparation
You'll need:
- An account with permission to install modules in the PrestaShop Back Office.
- A PrestaKick account with a verified email address.
- The PrestaShop server can connect to the Internet via HTTPS.
- Permission to configure scheduled tasks on the hosting account, or help from the person who manages it.
Official addresses:
- Dashboard: https://prestakick.com
- API: https://api.prestakick.com
- Chat service: https://chat.prestakick.com
Step 1: Create a shop on the Dashboard
- Open https://prestakick.com and select Sign up or Log in.
- If you just registered, open PrestaKick's email and verify your account.
- On the Set up your shop screen, enter your store's name and domain.
- Select Create shop.
The account that creates the shop becomes its owner. See for details.
Step 2: Install and connect the module
Download the module from the Dashboard using Download Module or from PrestaShop Addons, then install it in the Back Office PrestaShop.
To connect using OAuth:
- Open PrestaKick AI → Connection in the module.
- Select Connect with PrestaKick.
- Log in to the Dashboard if asked, and then select the correct store.
- Select Confirm connection.
- Return to the module and check the Connected status.
- Select Save configuration.
Always start the OAuth process from the module.
Step 3: Set up recurring tasks
The recurring task (cron) sends an activity signal and transfers pending changes from PrestaShop to PrestaKick.
- Open Cron Jobs → Settings in the module.
- Copy the cron command provided by the module.
- Add a command to your hosting's scheduler to run at the frequency shown on the screen.
- Open Cron Jobs → Logs to check the last run.
The cron URL contains a security token. Do not post it publicly.
After a few minutes, the Dashboard will update the connection status. If you still see Offline or Degraded, see .
Step 4: Check and enable the Widget
- Open the Widget in the module.
- To test it privately, keep Show Widget off and add your IP under Preview IPs.
- Adjust the title, color, and position as needed.
- Select Save configuration and check the Widget on the website.
- When ready, turn on Show Widget and save again.
On the Dashboard, open Settings → Domains & Access and check the store domain in Allowed storefront domains. Only the owner can access this section.
Check the results
- Your store has appeared in the Dashboard.
- The module shows Connected.
- Cron has completed successfully under Logs.
- The dashboard no longer reports Offline after the update period.
- The widget is visible to the test IP or to all guests, depending on the configuration.
