Explanation

How Photopilot works with PrestaShop

PrestaShop uses attributes and attribute values, which work surprisingly well for fashion data such as material, fit, and care label. Photopilot reads them through the PrestaShop webservice, completes the images and text, and delivers them in a format your PrestaShop import understands right away.

What Photopilot retrieves from PrestaShop

With a web service key, Photopilot reads the products, the properties with their values, and the available inventory. Existing product images are imported too, so you can see what is already online. Properties with names such as material, care label, or category are automatically placed in the correct field. You do not need to change anything in the back office for this.

Linking by reference, EAN13, and UPC

Each PrestaShop product gets the reference, EAN13, and, where needed, the UPC or MPN as keys in Photopilot. Suppliers usually provide images by EAN or by their own item number, and Photopilot makes that connection automatically. This means a supplier packshot automatically lands with the right product in your catalog. Different filenames or folders per brand are no problem.

From raw supplier photo to shop-ready image

Photopilot removes backgrounds from images, crops them to your fixed aspect ratios, and places them on the background your theme uses. Ghost mannequin images, AI model photos, and campaign lifestyle images can be added, with Iris as the AI creative director to maintain a recognizable style. For each product, Photopilot writes a description, a short description, and SEO fields, using the attributes already in PrestaShop. Material composition and washing symbols are recognized from label photos and saved as clean attribute values.

Back to PrestaShop through the import

Approved images go per reference, in a fixed order, to an FTP or SFTP folder, and the copy and attributes are in the Webshop Excel or come via the API. These files are structured to match PrestaShop's CSV import or an import module you already use. The first image becomes the cover image, and the rest follow in the agreed order, with the legend as alt text. This lets you decide when and how the catalog is updated.

Combinations and colors in fashion catalogs

Many fashion shops on PrestaShop use one product with combinations for size and color. Photopilot organizes images by color, so you can attach the right images to the combinations for that color during import. This way, when a customer clicks another color, they immediately see the matching photos. Texts stay at product level, where they belong in PrestaShop.

Setup and daily use

You enable the webservice in PrestaShop and create a key with read access to products, features, and inventory. After that, Photopilot reads only the products updated since the previous run every two hours by default. The team gets a daily overview of items with no images or text, and fixed edits run on autopilot as soon as new material comes in. No developer is needed.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect PrestaShop to Photopilot?

In the back office, go to Advanced settings, enable the web service, and create a key with read permissions for products, product_features, product_feature_values, and stock_availables. Share that key and the shop URL with us, and Photopilot will immediately test whether the products are being imported.

Can Photopilot automatically create product photos for PrestaShop?

Yes. Photopilot edits supplier images and your own photos, or creates AI model photos and packshots where images are missing. The approved set is ready per reference for import into PrestaShop.

Does Photopilot work with combinations in PrestaShop?

Yes, images are organized by color, so you can link them to the combinations for that color during import. That way, every color option gets the right set of photos.

Can Photopilot fill PrestaShop features for material and care label?

Yes. Photopilot reads existing attributes, recognizes material and care symbols from label photos, and provides them as attribute values in the export. This fills empty attributes in your catalog.

Do I need to install a PrestaShop module for Photopilot?

No. Reading is done through PrestaShop’s standard webservice. To write data back, you use the built-in CSV import or an import module you already have.

How much does Photopilot cost for a PrestaShop online store?

That depends on the number of items and which images you want. AI photos cost €0.05 to €0.21 per photo at queue pricing and are often ready within an hour. For the sharpest detail, there is Precision+.

Can we review everything before it goes into PrestaShop?

Yes. Images, text, and attributes appear in the review screen first. Only what you approve is included in the export set for PrestaShop.

What if a supplier has no photos for our PrestaShop products?

Photopilot then flags the item in the missing images overview. From a simple photo of your own, Photopilot can create a cutout packshot, a ghost mannequin image, or an AI model photo.

Does Photopilot also write SEO text for PrestaShop?

Yes. For each product, Photopilot creates a description, a short description, a meta title, and a meta description, based on the attributes and the image. These are included in the export for your PrestaShop import.

How often does Photopilot read our PrestaShop catalog?

Every two hours by default, with only the products updated in PrestaShop.

What does Photopilot need to connect PrestaShop?

A webservice key with read permissions for products, attributes, and inventory.

Restore Photopilot images and texts in PrestaShop?

No, the integration imports. Approved images, texts, and material information are sent via FTP/SFTP, the Webshop Excel, or the API to your shop.

What is checked before anything goes live?

We verify products, features, feature values, and media against the actual catalog before anything is published.
