Gather Data and Integrate Your Catalog
In this section we explore how to integrate your products and catalogs into Coveo’s infrastructure. This integration recreates the relationships between your items, their variants, and their locations. Coveo only replicates your catalogs. They’re managed in your content management system (CMS) of choice.
Index Content
Coveo Cloud supports the indexing of commerce catalogs as well as a wide array of website content, all stored in a secured unified index (see Indexing Commerce Catalog Content or Indexing Website Content).
Create a Catalog
Once you have the data in the index, a Coveo commerce catalog will define the structure of your commerce-related items. In other words, it establishes the relationship between the items you’ve indexed in the previous step by identifying which items are products, variants, and availability channels (see Creating a Coveo Commerce Catalog).
