Plugin extension

To extend the default behavior of the Findologic main plugin and still be able to get the latest plugin updates, we've created the Findologic extension plugin. It already contains some code for extending the export logic, but you can also extend the plugin to override search logic, or even the templates of filters.

For detailed information on how to use the extension and code examples, please see Shopware 6 plugin extension

Sorting options

Shopware -> Findologic:

• product.cheapestPrice -> price asc/desc
• product.name -> label asc/desc
• product.releaseDate -> dateadded asc/desc
• _score -> No order parameter
• product.sales -> salesfrequency asc/desc

Custom sorting options can be added via our plugin extension. Please see our documentation for more information.

Upgrade information

Breaking changes to the main plugin will only be released in major releases (e.g. 3.x.x => 4.x.x) and a respective UPGRADE-x.x guide can be found at GitHub.
