Prestashop is a complete e-commerce solution.
You probably use a specific application to manage your business.
It would be really handy if you could share the information contained in Prestashop with your ERP.
This would simplify the whole management process.
If you use Dolibarr as your business management solution, you should know that it is possible to set up data synchronization with your Prestashop site. 
A few reminders about Dolibarr
Dolibarr is an ERP/CRM developed in PHP and available under GNU/GPL license.
It includes business management functions (HR, expenses, vacations, products, services, purchasing, inventory, etc.) and customer management functions (prospects/customers, quotes, orders, contracts, subscriptions, assistance, invoicing, accounting, etc.).
It is accessible in web mode, but can also be installed locally on your computer (the installer will then configure everything you need – web server, database – to run Dolibarr locally).
Why synchronize Prestashop and Dolibarr?
Dolibarr is a modular solution enabling you to manage your business in a wide range of areas.
When you have an e-commerce store based on Prestashop, you naturally manage your products, prices, promotions, customers, orders and invoices.
The problem is that you may need information from Prestashop to manage your business.
For example, you might want to integrate invoices into your accounting system, or new customers into your database.
In this way, you could have all the information you need at your fingertips, and make it accessible from a single access point.
In the other direction, it could be interesting to send information on your customers and/or prospects from Dolibarr to Prestashop, in order to offer them personalized promotional offers, for example.
All this will only be possible if you set up data synchronization between Prestashop and Dolibarr.
How do I synchronize Prestashop and Dolibarr?
In theory, exchanging data between Prestashop and Dolibarr shouldn’t be a problem.
Both are web applications, and both use the same technology (PHP).
So there’s no technical problem.
On the other hand, the data format used is undoubtedly very different from one application to the other.
Whether it’s customers, orders or invoices, for example, the information is certainly stored and managed in different ways.
If you don’t feel like devoting a potentially substantial budget to the development of a tailor-made program, your salvation most certainly lies in the use of a module.
Prestashop Dolibarr connection modules
Luckily, there are not one, but two Prestashop modules designed to exchange data with Dolibarr.
