Feeds authorization:

All of the feeds now require Bearer token authorization, so make sure to copy the authorization token from the config and add it to your feed configs in Hello Retail.
If you have a managed feed, reach out to our support and have them help you set it up.
You can see the section "Adding a request header to a feed" in the feed configuration tool guide for guidance on how to add it.

If you need to regenerate the token, you can do so by clicking the generate button and then pressing the "Save" button.

Updating Hello Retail module - PrestaShop

In the cases where you are using Hello Retail with your PrestaShop platform and you have installed the Hello Retail module that automates a lot of the setup and daily processes, it is a good idea to perform an update.

This serves for the purpose if  we encounter bugs or update the Hello Retail's services, the module will also be updated.

Updating the plugin is simply a process of uninstalling the old version and installing the new one.

Steps - Update the Hello Retail Module

  1. To uninstall the old version, login to your PrestaShop account.
  2. On the dashboard view, navigate to the left-hand side menu. Navigate to Modules and then from the drop-down menu, click on Modules and Services. You will then be shown a list of the installed modules.

  3. In the list of modules, you will see the Hello Retail module. However, please be aware that the name of the module is addwish business.

  4. Click on the Configure button and then from the drop-down menu click on the Uninstall button.


Now the module has been deleted so you can simply install the new module plugin as you would do a fresh install.

You can find a complete guide for doing that here.
