Different levels of access<\/strong> can be configured according to each user’s needs, ensuring that everyone has access to the tools and information they need to get the job done. <\/p>

                              Different Prestashop connection parameters<\/h3>

                              In PrestaShop, you can configure various Prestashop connection settings<\/strong> to enhance the security and user-friendliness of your online store. For example, you can enable or disable the SSL connection, set IP-based access restrictions and customize the connection URL to your dashboard. <\/p>

                              Connecting from different devices<\/h2>

                              To connect to PrestaShop from a desktop computer<\/strong>, open your web browser and enter the administrator login URL.

                              To enable customers to log in, register and log out directly at the top right of the page, you can create a customer information block<\/strong>. To do this, go to the back office, then Modules > Modules & Services > Search for “User block” and install it if necessary. Then configure the module according to your preferences. <\/p>
