Welcome to Fexa AI! Connecting your store is the first step towards a catalog fully optimized by artificial intelligence. This guide assists you for a secure installation in less than 5 minutes.
Why connect your PrestaShop to Fexa AI?
Fexa AI is not just a simple analysis tool. It is a copilot that:
- Real-time analysis: Detects SEO bottlenecks as soon as a product is added.
- Automates writing: Generates unique metas and descriptions.
- Technically optimizes: Manages internal linking and ALT tags without code.
Technical Pre-recommendations (AEO Summary)
For a successful connection, make sure to respect these points:
- PrestaShop Version: 1.7 or higher (stable version recommended).
- Security: Your SSL certificate must be active (URL in
https://). - Module: The "Fexa AI - MCP Server" module must be installed and activated.
- API Access: Your server must authorize external requests (no local/offline server).
1. API Key Retrieval
Your API key is the secure bridge between your store and the AI.
- Log in to your PrestaShop back-office.
- Go to Modules > Module Manager.
- Search for "Fexa AI" and click on Configure.
- Copy the displayed alphanumeric key.
2. Configuration in Fexa AI
Once your key is copied, return to your Fexa AI interface:
- Shop URL: Paste the exact address of your store (e.g.,
https://my-store.com). - API Key: Paste the previously retrieved key.
Click on "Connect Shop". The AI performs an immediate communication test.
3. Validation and Security
Fexa AI uses the MCP (Model Context Protocol) protocol. This is the most secure standard to allow an AI to read and write content on a store without ever accessing your sensitive data (customers, payments, passwords).
Important: You keep full control. No modification is published on your PrestaShop without your manual validation or via your batch settings.
4. Connect Google Search Console (Required for traffic insights)
To see your real performance data (clicks, impressions, CTR) and identify priority SEO opportunities, you must connect your Google Search Console account.
Without this step, you won't be able to:
- Identify pages with traffic but poor CTR
- Discover "striking distance" keywords (positions 11-20)
- Prioritize optimizations based on real search volume
How to connect GSC:
- Go to Settings → Integrations tab
- Click "Connect Google"
- Select your Search Console property matching your store
- Authorize access to performance data
[!TIP] If you don't have a Search Console account yet, create one for free at search.google.com/search-console and add your property before returning here.
