You have to sync it like you would with a PS4. Connect the PS4 controller to the PS3 with a USB cable, then navigate to Settings > Accessory Settings > Manage Bluetooth Devices on the PS3. Follow the prompts to complete the pairing, then you can disconnect the cable!
Just use a USB cable to set it up initially, then navigate through the PS3's Bluetooth settings to connect it wirelessly. Easy peasy!
