🏪 How to connect multiple stores to my Brevo account?

The plugin allows you to connect multiple PrestaShop stores to your Brevo account and manage separate settings for each store:

1. Make sure you've enabled the Enable Multistore option from your PrestaShop dashboard by going to Shop Parameters > General.
   
   
2. Install the plugin on one of your PrestaShop stores and connect it to your Brevo account as explained in 🔌 Install the plugin.
3. Manage the plugin settings for this store as explained in the rest of this article.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for your other stores.

This will create multiple instances of the plugin in your Brevo account, allowing you to manage the settings of each store separately. For example, you can sync the contacts from different stores to different lists or track visitors' actions from one store only. Each instance will be named based on the name of each shop, so make sure you access the correct plugin instance for each of your stores. You can access it either through the PrestaShop dashboard of a store or directly from your Brevo account, as explained in ⚙️ Access your plugin settings.
