Clarity Connect integration
PrestaShop Clarity eCommerce Integration
Leaving PrestaShop for Clarity eCommerce, or running both for a while? Clarity Connect moves the catalog, customers and orders and keeps the stores in step.
Why connect two storefronts
This pairing usually means a change of platform. A business outgrows PrestaShop for B2B ordering and moves to Clarity eCommerce, which takes customer pricing, inventory and account data from the ERP, or it keeps PrestaShop for one brand while Clarity eCommerce runs another. Either way the data has to move once and then stay consistent, and Clarity Connect does both jobs.

- Inventory and prices
PrestaShop to Clarity eCommerce record mapping
A starting map. Discovery confirms which records move once and which keep syncing.
| PrestaShop | Clarity eCommerce | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Product (by SKU) | Product | PrestaShop to Clarity eCommerce |
| Category | Category | PrestaShop to Clarity eCommerce |
| Customer | User, under an account | PrestaShop to Clarity eCommerce |
| Address | Account address book entry | PrestaShop to Clarity eCommerce |
| Stock available | Inventory | ERP to both stores |
| Order | Order | Each store to the ERP |
How the move works
Load the catalog once
Connect reads products and categories from PrestaShop's Webservice and writes them into Clarity eCommerce. Clarity eCommerce can also take products from a spreadsheet import, which needs only a product name and SKU per row and can carry SEO-friendly URLs, so a team can fix descriptions and images in bulk on the way across.
Customers become accounts and users
PrestaShop keeps customers and their addresses as separate resources. Clarity eCommerce groups buyers under accounts, with users, roles and a shared address book per account, so discovery decides which PrestaShop customers belong together as one company.
Both stores on one ERP
If the two storefronts run side by side, the ERP stays the master for stock and prices and Connect feeds both, while orders from each store go into the same ERP. Clarity eCommerce's external key database ties each record to its ID in every other system, so a customer who exists in both stores still resolves to one ERP account.

Access on the PrestaShop side
PrestaShop's Webservice gives each key rights per resource and per method. A one-time migration needs read (GET) access only; if both stores keep running, the key also needs write access to stock and to order histories so ERP updates reach PrestaShop.
On Clarity eCommerce, the storefront, the Admin Portal and Clarity Connect share one Common Model of accounts, users, products, orders, invoices, inventory, prices and addresses, so data loaded through Connect is the same data the store runs on.
How Clarity Connect runs it
Clarity Connect is Clarity's integration platform and part of Clarity eCommerce. It keeps a persistent two-way link between PrestaShop, Clarity eCommerce and your ERP and runs each flow as a task, in real time or on a schedule. Clarity has delivered more than 3,000 integrations with it; recorded demos are in our video playlist.
Discovery
A Clarity business analyst documents the data fields and workflows each system can share and which ones you need.
Tasks and mapping
Each flow becomes a Connect task, such as orders to the ERP or stock to the store, set to run in real time or on a schedule.
Testing
Orders and updates are run end to end, including the return trip of statuses back to the customer-facing system.
Live, with a dashboard
Queues and scheduled tasks show in Connect's Hangfire dashboard. A job whose target is offline is retried 10 times, every 30 minutes, and can be re-queued once the cause is fixed.
Clarity Connect is sold as a SaaS subscription at $599 a month or as a one-time license at $15,000 with no ongoing fees, and larger projects are priced to scope. See pricing.
Questions
Can PrestaShop and Clarity eCommerce run at the same time?
Yes. Connect feeds both from the ERP and sends orders from each store to it, so you can move customers or brands across in stages.
Do we have to rebuild the catalog by hand?
No. Connect reads it from PrestaShop, or you can export it to a spreadsheet and use Clarity eCommerce's bulk product import. See the import walkthrough.
Which ERPs does Clarity eCommerce connect to?
Its built-in connectors include Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Business Central and CE, Dynamics GP and NAV, Epicor Prophet 21, NetSuite and SYSPRO, and Clarity Connect reaches many more.
What does the move cost?
Clarity Connect itself is $599 a month as SaaS or a $15,000 one-time license with no ongoing fees, and the migration work is priced to its scope. See pricing.
