Commerce integration

Recommended reading 

This topic describes the integration of Episerver Search & Navigation (formerly Episerver Find) with Episerver Commerce. The integration ensures that, after you implement search features, Search & Navigation treats Commerce catalog content like regular content.

Note:  The integration requires Episerver Commerce version 8.8 or higher.

Integration packages

  • EPiServer.Commerce.FindSearchProvider. Integration with Episerver Commerce back-end parts using the Find search provider.
  • EPiServer.Find.Commerce. Episerver Commerce integration based on Find API.

Which package to use?

You can use EPiServer.Commerce.FindSearchProvider, EPiServer.Find.Commerce, or both. The Commerce.FindSearchProvider package uses Search & Navigation (Find) as a search provider in Commerce Manager and the ECF search APIs. The Find.Commerce package uses Search & Navigation to search catalog items via the Find API. See Configuring Episerver Search & Navigation search provider in the Episerver Commerce developer guide.

Integration components

The EPiServer.Commerce.FindSearchProvider provides the following functionality:

  • Catalog items included in Unified Search results. Projections are configured for Url, ImageUri, and object getter for inheritors of EntryContentBase.
  • Catalog items available when creating best bets. The Search & Navigation Best Bets UI lets you select catalog items.
  • Enhanced indexing of catalog items. Indexing includes all catalog languages.
  • Search provider for catalog items. Catalog items can be searched using Search & Navigation in Episerver edit view.

Installation

  1. Add the Episerver.Commerce.FindSearchProvider package to the CMS and Commerce Manager projects using the Package Manager Console (Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console).

    Command: Install-package Episerver.Commerce.FindSearchProvider

  2. Add the EPiServer.Find.Commerce, EPiServer.Find.Cms, and EPiServer.Find.Framework packages to the CMS project. Run the following command on the CMS project.

    Command: Install-package EPiServer.Find.Commerce

  3. Run the Find content indexing scheduled job. EPiServer.Find.Commerce adds data to documents being indexed, so indexed documents only match expected search results after content is reindexed.
