Introduction
There are a few things to make note of when configuring the connector with PrestaShop. Some of this information may not apply to all users, while some of it may only be important to consider at the time of the initial setup of the connector. For this reason, some of those details have been added to the Adding the Prestashop Connector to your Locale Instance article.

Required configuration
There are 3 core pieces of information which are needed to configure the PrestaShop connector with Locale: Store domain, Store hosting and an Access key.
Store domain
The domain of the PrestaShop store is required for the basic fact that
...
it is needed to establish the connection. However, a single instance of PrestaShop can host multiple PrestaShop stores. In this case, each store is classified per domain.
...
It is necessary to give access to the specific domain that requires translation, otherwise this can cause an error.
Example:
...
MyFrenchStore where myfrenchstore is the specific domain containing the text for translation.
Store hosting
This may not apply to all users. Two PrestaShop stores
...
cannot share the same URL. However, you can connect as many stores as you want on one domain name by using a sub-folders or sub-domains structure. In the event a store is hosted within a
...
sub-folder (in this case
...
it is not a physical folder, but a PrestaShop store automatically created via updating a Virtual URL) it has to be included as well as part of the Store Domain URL to be used/accessed by Locale.
Example: ….
...
MySecondStore where mysecondstore is the domain hosting location.
Access key requirements
The access key is generated in the Admin Page
...
→ Advanced Parameters
...
→ Webservice. When creating and configuring the access key from your PrestaShop instance to be used in Locale, it’s important to include the 3 following components/resources:
Product Resources must be enabled as seen below (read and write)
...
Language Resources must be enabled as seen below (read and write)
PrestaShop Webservice Activation must be enabled as seen below
