Bridge Connector

What Is the Bridge Connector?

The bridge connector is a PHP file (himigration-bridge.php) that gets uploaded to the root directory of your source PrestaShop store. It acts as a secure API endpoint that MigraPro uses to query data, download images, and transfer files.

Setup Steps

1. Generate the Connector

In the MigraPro wizard on your target store:

  1. Enter your source store URL
  2. Click Generate Connector — this creates the bridge file and a unique authentication token
  3. Click Download Connector to save the PHP file

2. Upload to Source Store

Upload the himigration-bridge.php file to the root directory of your source PrestaShop installation (the same directory where index.php lives).

3. Test Connection

Click Test Connection in MigraPro. A successful test returns:

  • Source store PrestaShop version
  • Source store name
  • Database table prefix

Security

  • All requests are authenticated with a unique token
  • The bridge supports SSL verification (configurable)
  • The bridge file should be removed from the source store after migration is complete

Bridge Actions

The connector supports these operations:

  • check — Verify connection and return store info
  • query — Execute read-only database queries
  • count — Get entity record counts
  • image — Download product/category/manufacturer images
  • image_check — Batch-verify which images exist before downloading
  • file — Download attachments and virtual product files
  • custom_tables — List non-core database tables for custom migration
  • custom_table_structure — Get the schema of a custom table
