Algolia’s cartridge unlocks best-in-class Search and Discovery on Salesforce B2C Commerce.

The cartridges synchronize product (including price and inventory), category, and content data, and powers search and discovery for both SFRA (Storefront Reference Architecture) and SiteGenesis. You can customize these InstantSearch.js-based experiences to match your brand’s needs. You can also use the backend cartridges on their own to synchronize data for headless, composable storefront integrations, accelerated by Algolia’s React InstantSearch, Autocomplete, and Recommend UI libraries.

The integration works with Algolia’s Merchandising Studio, search analytics, NeuralSearch, Personalization, and Recommend.

Compatibility

The cartridge supports these versions:

  • Salesforce Commerce Cloud API version 21.7 (compatibility mode: 21.2)
  • SiteGenesis controllers version 105.0.0
  • SFRA version 6.0.0

A SiteGenesis-based site can use both pipeline and controller architectures simultaneously. The Algolia cartridge uses controllers, but is fully compatible with your current pipeline architecture.

Cartridge versions 23.4.x and lower (“Gen 1”) are deprecated. They will be sunset on October 31, 2024. To take advantage of the improvements in the latest version, upgrade to the “Gen 2” cartridges (>23.5.x). For more information, see the release notes and the migration guide.
