Install guide

Install Visisto on PrestaShop

Add the Visisto snippet to your PrestaShop theme header. Works on all store pages with no extra module required.

Before you start
  • A PrestaShop store (version 1.7 or 8.x)
  • FTP access or file manager access to your PrestaShop theme files
  • Your Visisto Site Key. Go to Sites → [your site] → Install → Advanced options

Your install snippet

Replace YOUR_SITE_ID with your Site Key from the dashboard under Sites → [your site] → Install → Advanced options. Paste both script blocks before the closing </head> tag.

<script>
  window.__VISISTO__ = {
    site: "YOUR_SITE_ID",
    api: "https://api.visisto.com"
  };
</script>
<script
  src="https://cdn.visisto.com/loader.js"
  data-site="YOUR_SITE_ID"
  data-api="https://api.visisto.com"
  defer
></script>

Step-by-step installation

  1. 1
    Open your PrestaShop theme folder via FTP or file manager

    Navigate to /themes/[your-active-theme]/ in your PrestaShop installation.

  2. 2
    Open header.tpl in your theme

    Find and open header.tpl. This file controls the <head> section on every store page.

  3. 3
    Locate the closing </head> tag

    Search (Ctrl+F) for </head> in the file.

  4. 4
    Paste the Visisto snippet before </head>

    Copy the full snippet above (both script blocks) and paste it immediately before </head>.

  5. 5
    Save and upload the file

    Save header.tpl and upload it back to your server if editing via FTP.

  6. 6
    Clear the PrestaShop cache

    In the PrestaShop admin, go to Advanced Parameters → Performance and click Clear Cache.

    Always clear the cache after editing theme files, or changes may not appear.

  7. 7
    Visit your store to verify

    Open your store in a browser and confirm the widget appears on product pages and the homepage.

Tips & notes
  • Clear the PrestaShop cache after every theme file edit or changes will not show.
  • If you switch themes, re-add the snippet to the new theme's header.tpl.
  • Use the Custom HTML Block module to insert code without editing theme files directly.
  • The snippet works on all PrestaShop page types: category, product, cart, and checkout.
