Integration documentation - Direct Integration

Overview

The FINDOLOGIC-scripts are binding events on the search field of the shop. When a user submits the form of the search field, the request gets sent via AJAX directly to the FINDOLOGIC servers. This offers a massive speed boost and lowers the load on the shop side, because it is not necessary that the request is being sent to the shop's server first.

FINDOLOGIC loads the entire search result as defined in the template manager and delivers the rendered HTML to the shop. The HTML in this response will be placed in a container of the shop. This container must have unique selectors. As a customer of FINDOLOGIC you have to add the given classes to the existing main container in your shop.

Implementing the FINDOLOGIC snippet

You can find the snippet for your channel in the FINDOLOGIC customer login. Please add this snippet in the <head>-section of your source code.

Please note that the usage of Google Tag Manager will disable the flickerfree-functionality of the snippet as the scripts are getting loaded too late.

For the search result pages, the HTML-response of FINDOLOGIC contains both all found product and the available filters.
