Create your Catalog source and upload data
The recommended way to index a commerce catalog is to stream your data to a Catalog source created within the Coveo Administration Console.
Catalog data structure
A specific catalog data structure is recommended to optimize the search experience with Coveo. Your catalog structure can vary in many ways depending on your use case. They’re often a combination of three types of objects: products, variants, and availabilities.
|
The |
Begin by creating a catalog structure that contains product data to test your results, and then review and inspect your indexed items.
Optionally, you can then add variant data and availability data.
|
Note
Every Coveo item is represented by a JSON configuration, which can be inspected in the Administration Console (see Item JSON Tab). |
Define your Coveo commerce catalog
(Optional) Create a demo search page
You have successfully used the Content Browser to filter and view your indexed content. Now create a real, customizable Coveo demo search page with the Interface Editor.
With a demo search page you will get an idea of what you can accomplish using the Coveo JavaScript Search Framework in the next step of the solution implementation.
