The flow

From checkout to shipment.
Without friction.

Astrasdabridge transforms an 8-step manual process into a single click from the PrestaShop back office. The fast lane between sale and delivery.

Order received

The customer buys. The order enters PrestaShop with all the data: recipient, address, products, weight.

Panel in the order

Astrasdabridge shows the panel directly in the order tab. Data already populated, weight already calculated.

One click — WebSocket

Press "Send to local bridge". The payload is sent via WebSocket to the SDA software on the same machine.

SDA receives the data

The local SDA bridge receives first name, last name, address, postcode, city, province, weight, order reference.

Shipment created

No copy-pasting. No transcription errors. Ready for the label and handover to the carrier.

🏁 The team works on value, not bureaucracy

What you really feel

It's not a bridge.
It's a fast lane.

Every automation in Astrasdabridge is built around a real emotion that the merchant and their team live every day between orders and shipments.

Movement

When an order arrives… something actually happens

It doesn't stay still. It doesn't wait. It doesn't need someone to pick it up to create the shipment. The flow starts. The feeling is that of automatic movement.

Liberation

Shipping stops being administrative work

No copying data, opening portals, retyping addresses, checking weight, sending. The store speaks. The bridge executes. People return to doing what truly matters.

Real automation

The magic moment: the order becomes a shipment

Customer buys. The warehouse prepares. The shipment takes shape. Without interrupting work. Without switching screens. Without risk of error.

Peace of mind

Fewer clicks. Fewer errors.

Every field copied by hand is a risk. A wrong address is a complaint, a delay, a disappointed customer. Every correct automation is a guarantee.

Dignity

The team works on value, not bureaucracy

People should prepare, check, improve — not transfer data from one screen to another. Astrasdabridge gives back time and dignity to operational work.

Growth

The store starts behaving like a larger operation

Even with few people. Because orders flow without hitches. The perception — internal and external — is that of a structured and professional operation.

Professionalism

Shipping becomes invisible

And it's the greatest compliment. Nobody says "what a great integration". They think: "everything works here." The customer sees only: correct order, fast shipping, clean experience. And comes back.

Time

The software works while you prepare the next order

This is the promise. Not to replace people. To free them. Free them from repetitive work to give them time: to prepare new products, talk to customers, go home earlier.

What it sends to the bridge

Precise data.
Native SDA format.

Automatic weight from products

The module calculates the weight by summing weight × quantity for each product in the order. No manual estimation, no field to fill in. Falls back to the weight recorded by PrestaShop if automatic calculation is disabled.

Local WebSocket communication

The payload is sent via WebSocket to the SDA bridge running on the same machine as the operator (127.0.0.1:8087 by default, configurable). No intermediate server, no data sent to external clouds.

Complete payload in PS_* format

All required SDA fields: PS_nome, PS_cognome, PS_ragSoc, PS_addr1/2, PS_CAP, PS_city, PS_prov, PS_nazione, PS_tel1/2, PS_mail, PS_idFiscale, PS_IdVend, PS_peso, PS_valOrd. Native field=value&null format.

Resend and technical log

If something goes wrong, the "Resend" button is always available. The technical log shows the details of the WebSocket communication for precise analysis in case of error.

Features

Everything in the back office.
Nothing superfluous.

Panel integrated in the order tab

The Astrasdabridge panel appears directly in the PrestaShop order tab, with the recipient's data already loaded, the weight calculated and the send button. No extra menu, no screen change.

Native back office

Local WebSocket bridge — secure and direct

Communication happens via WebSocket to the SDA bridge running on the operator's local machine. No data travels via external servers or cloud. Host and port are configurable from the back office.

WebSocket · Local

Automatic weight calculation

Astrasdabridge automatically calculates the order weight by summing weight × quantity for each product. Can be enabled or disabled from configuration. Eliminates the risk of manual errors on the declared weight.

Auto-weight

Configurable SDA carrier filter

Configure the SDA carrier reference to show the panel only on orders with that carrier selected. Leave blank to display it on all orders. Total flexibility for any logistics configuration.

Carrier filter

Integrated resend and technical log

After sending, the "Resend" button remains available to handle any problems. The technical log, expandable in the panel, shows the details of the WebSocket communication for precise diagnosis without needing to open external tools.

Frequently asked questions

Got questions?
Here are the answers.

Do I need the SDA software already installed to use Astrasdabridge?

Yes. Astrasdabridge is the bridge between PrestaShop and the local SDA software: you need the SDA client installed and the local bridge active on the operator's machine. Astrasdabridge sends the order data via WebSocket to this bridge, which transfers it to the SDA software. If you already use SDA as your carrier and have the software installed, integration is immediate.

Does the panel appear on all orders or only on SDA ones?

It depends on the configuration. You can set the SDA carrier reference in the module configuration: in this case the panel appears only on orders with that carrier selected. If you leave the field blank, the panel is shown on all orders. Useful if you ship mainly with SDA or if you want to filter by carrier.

How does automatic weight calculation work?

When automatic calculation is active, Astrasdabridge sums weight × quantity for each product in the order, reading the weights configured in the PrestaShop product sheets. If the total is zero or calculation is disabled, it uses the weight recorded by PrestaShop on the order. The resulting weight is automatically inserted into the SDA payload — no manual intervention.

What happens if the SDA bridge is unreachable?

The panel shows a status message indicating the connection problem. The technical log (expandable in the panel) reports the details of the WebSocket error. The "Resend" button is always available: you can check that the bridge is active on the local machine and retry sending without reloading the page or reopening the order.

Is the module compatible with PrestaShop 9?

Yes. Astrasdabridge is developed and tested on PrestaShop 8.x and 9.x, declared compatible from 8.0.0 to 9.99.99. The hook-only architecture guarantees resilience to PrestaShop core updates.

The annual licence at €119 includes: full use of the module for 1 PrestaShop store, all updates released within 12 months (with SHA256 verification via Astralith Update Center), dedicated technical support and access to all future improvements. No hidden costs.
