Algolia Joins Forces with commercetools to Improve the Shopping Experience

Algolia has unveiled expanded integration options with commercetools, a composable commerce company, to maximize the potential of combining Algolia's AI Search capabilities with the commercetools platform to boost shopping experiences.

“More and more renowned B2C and B2B brands are embracing a composable strategy – opting for a modular approach to tailor their commerce experiences. However, crafting custom integrations creates some challenges, requiring development resources and time investment. This collaboration alleviates such hurdles, enabling businesses to seamlessly integrate their data into Algolia’s AI Search platform, leading to quicker and more profitable outcomes. Consequently, Algolia’s AI Search is the most frequently selected search platform by commercetools customers, and more than 15 System Integrator partners are incorporating our joint platforms into their accelerators and reference frameworks, aiding customers in their composable ecommerce evolution,” said Piyush Patel, Chief Ecosystem Officer, Algolia.

What does this integration provide?  

The two companies have provided users with a hassle-free solution - Algolia for commercetools connector - accessible via Algolia's user-friendly dashboard, which effortlessly synchronizes product catalog data from the commercetools Composable Commerce platform to Algolia. No coding is required, and setup can be completed in minutes, enabling real-time and historical data synchronization, including customer, product, and order records.

In addition, the integration also provides the Algolia commercetools Accelerator, offering essential code and deployment guidelines for customizing and deploying the integration to any cloud environment for self-management. Its adaptability allows users to tailor the code to their specific business needs.

By seamlessly integrating online and offline channels, these platforms drive revenue growth and ensure the long-term resilience of online B2B and B2C businesses.

A hosted Algolia commercetools integration will soon be available in the commercetools Connect Marketplace.

“Our collaboration with Algolia is based on a mutual dedication to enhancing customer experiences by providing fast, easy-to-use capabilities at massive scale. This partnership equips brands with the tools to implement commerce strategies that foster enduring growth and optimize the lifetime value of their top-tier customers. Leveraging commercetools, retailers can swiftly harness the advantages of composable commerce, effortlessly accessing opportunities for heightened competitive edge,” said Kelly Goetsch, Chief Strategy Officer, commercetools.
