i) Uninstall old version

ii) Manually remove folder CartConnect from $prestashop_root$/modules Where $prestashop_root$ root directory of your PrestaShop installation.

Download the PrestaShop Module from the link above, and then upload the module to PrestaShop in the usual way (we are assuming you know how to upload a PrestShop Module, see the PrestaShop documentation for more information).

Once loaded go to the configuration screen (below):

To configure Cart Connect in PrestaShop enter your salesorder.com account number together with a suitable password (not your salesorder.com password). If you are using PrestaShop in version 1.4 or above, enter into Password field, security key, generated in STEP 2.Click Update and you are done.

STEP 4: Configure Cart Connect in your system.

You now need to setup and configure Cart Connect in your system.

You must ensure that Cart Connect is enabled for your system. If not contact Customer Services.

From the explorer go to Setup->Plugins->Shopping Carts and create a new PrestaShop Cart (below).

This creates a new Cart Connector to a PrestaShop Cart. To complete the connection you need to fill in a few details as shown below.

Before you can start using the Cart you need to make sure the connection to your Cart is OK.

 
Cart Connect URL is the address of your shop. Just enter address which your customers use to enter your shop.

 
The Cart Connect Password is that used in the PrestaShop Module in STEP 3.

 
Category ID for exported items contains identifier of category which will be used to store all items exported from salesorder.com. You should create one before you start using the export Items function (if you want to use it).

By clicking on the Test Connection button you can see if the credentials are correct. If they are you will see the message TEST PASSED: SUCCESSFULLY CONNECTED TO CART appear at the top of the page.

It is possible, that you will see error like on screen below:

You have to navigate to Accounting->Multi-Currency->Currencies in the salesorder.com Explorer and add the missing currencies.

Once the connection test is passed you can save the Cart and begin using Cart Connect.
