Integration withPrestaShop

What is PrestaShop?

PrestaShop is a powerful open-source e-commerce platform used by hundreds of thousands of online stores worldwide. It provides comprehensive tools for product catalog management, multi-currency and multi-language support, advanced SEO capabilities, and flexible checkout options. PrestaShop's modular architecture and extensive marketplace of add-ons make it popular with businesses seeking scalable, customizable e-commerce solutions.

Why integrate PrestaShop with Yalt?

The PrestaShop-Yalt integration transforms your online store into a customer retention powerhouse by adding sophisticated loyalty programs and automated marketing automation capabilities. Build lasting customer relationships through digital loyalty cards, flexible points systems, cashback rewards, and intelligent automated campaigns triggered by real purchase behavior. The integration automatically generates PrestaShop-native discount codes tied to customer segments, loyalty tiers, or behavioral triggers, driving repeat purchases while increasing average order value. This enables PrestaShop merchants to reduce reliance on expensive customer acquisition by maximizing the lifetime value of existing customers.

How the PrestaShop e-commerce integration works

When PrestaShop connects to Yalt, customer and order data sync continuously in real-time through PrestaShop's webservice APIs. Every order automatically updates customer loyalty profiles—points accumulate, cashback accrues, and stamp cards progress without any manual intervention. The system builds detailed customer profiles tracking purchase history, product category preferences, order frequency patterns, and campaign engagement metrics. Using this behavioral intelligence, automated campaigns deploy targeted email and SMS marketing at optimal moments—welcoming new customers with first-purchase rewards, celebrating loyalty milestones, re-engaging inactive shoppers with personalized incentives, or recognizing VIP customers with exclusive perks. The integration generates PrestaShop cart rules (discount codes) automatically, ensuring seamless coupon redemption at checkout.
