Note that Price Change only works where a listing has been Mapped to a Linnworks Inventory item. See the end of this document for more information on Price Change and Mapping.
7) Max Listed allows you to filter the highest quantity that Linnworks can/will send to the listings on PrestaShop. If Max Listed is set to 50, and your Available Stock moves from 30 to 60, Linnworks can only send 50, and this will not change until the Available Stock level drops below 50.
8) Stock Percentage acts in a similar fashion, but only updates the listings with the specified percentage of your actual Available Stock level.
9) End When allows you to set a ‘false zero’ for the channel. This means it will send Out of Stock when the available stock reaches the value set in this value.

Mapping
Linnworks uses the Mapping Tool to ensure that it knows which SKUs in its inventory are connected to which listings on PrestaShop. As such, you should ensure that all of your listings are mapped correctly, or stock levels and prices will not update correctly, and orders may not be picked accurately.
1) In Linnworks.net, click Settings.
2) Select Channel Integration.
3) Locate the PrestaShop entry, and click the Mapping button. This screen is divided into two sections. On the left are the listings Linnworks is aware of on your PrestaShop Channel. If this is not correct, or a change is missing, you should see the Download Listings button in the Listings section of the Channel Configuration. On the right is a Linnworks Inventory Search Tool. Each has its own Search box.
On the left is the listing Linnworks is aware of on your PrestaShop Channel. If this is not correct, or a change is missing, you should see the Download Listings button in the Listings section of the Channel Configuration.

In the bottom left hand corner of the window is a status section. It shows the Total Number of Listings on the channel, and then beside it the Unlinked and Linked numbers – Linked listings are connected to a Linnworks Inventory item to allow updates and recognition, Unlinked are not. Ideally there should be no Unlinked listings.

3) A new item will be created in the Linnworks inventory using the Name, Price and Stock Level, as well as the SKU from the listing. This will be linked to the SKU.

1. Can it work for MultiStore?
Yes. It is possible.
2. From my understanding Linnworks will already update stock and get orders from their PrestaShopdirect integration. What’s the difference between your integration and the old one?
The standard Linnworks Prestashop integration is a direct website integration. This means it needs a developer to customise it depending on the configuration of your website, and also more maintenance and investment to get it up and going. The integration we provide is designed to be much more customer friendly and can be installed without the services of a developer. The direct Linnworks integration can handle stock levels and orders.
