The following installation instructions are available as PDF file (with pictures and screenshots) as the module documentation, that can be downloaded from Prestashop Addons.

The setup process is very simple. Install the module using the Prestashop backoffice interface, then go to the module’s configuration page.

At this point, just select the desired language to be used for the feed generation (default is the language corresponding to your Prestashop language ID = 1).

Please note that you will need to have your products translated into the selected language first, in order for the module to work correctly (product name, description short, …).

 

Hit “Save” and you will be up and running exporting your Prestashop catalog towards Facebook and Instagram social shops, that will also enable you to tag your products in your posts to improve sales and conversion.

 

You will need to insert the link to the CSV file, that is provided in the module configuration page.

 

You will only need to configure this URL for the Facebook page, then also the Instagram page connected to the Facebook page will automatically get all the products available for tagging.

 

Now you only need to setup a CRON, to periodically launch the generation of a new CSV file, so that if you change your product names, prices, or if you add new products, you will automatically find all the updates also on Instagram and Facebook.

The CRON URL is available in the module configuration page, and it is suggested to run it during night time, when the server is the less loaded possible. Run it once a day, if possible. If you do not know how to set up a CRON, please ask your webmaster, he will know what to do for sure.

And here are two screenshots, one for Instagram app, and one for a Facebook post, with product tagging enabled.

You will just need to touch in the picture portion where you want to tag the product, and you will be promped to choose between a complete list of your Prestashop products.
