This guide is intended for Prestashop merchants who are connecting their store to Violet. During this process, the merchant will install and configure the Violet plugin through their Prestashop dashboard and then generate and provide credentials to Violet through the Violet Connect onboarding tool. Total time for completion is around 10 minutes.
