This guide describes the common steps for setting up Algolia for a headless Salesforce B2C Commerce storefront.

​
Install the Algolia cartridge

The Algolia cartridge contains four sub-cartridges that work together to fit in various uses cases.

Headless architectures use the server-side cartridges:

  • int_algolia. Handles importing product information from Salesforce B2C Commerce to Algolia
  • bm_algolia. Configure and monitor Algolia indexing from your Business Manager

To install the cartridges, see Set up the Algolia cartridge.

​
Index your catalogs

To index your catalogs, see Start indexing your data.

After running the indexing jobs, go to the Algolia dashboard to check that catalogs are properly indexed.
