• Product, category, and CMS attributes from Salesforce are mapped to Algolia index objects, including searchable fields, retrievable fields, and facet attributes used for filtering.
• Indexing jobs run as full or delta syncs, sending only changed records when timestamps or change flags are available, and rebuilding indexes when mappings change.
• Locale, currency, and channel-specific values are handled through separate indices or per-record attributes, with consistent objectIDs used to keep updates idempotent.
• Algolia ranking strategy is applied through configured custom ranking and query rules, while synonyms and facet configuration are stored and versioned per index.
• Customer group, price books, stock status, and visibility rules are modeled as index attributes or index-per-segment patterns when needed to avoid leaking restricted products.
• Search requests from the Salesforce storefront are routed to Algolia search endpoints, and click and conversion events are sent back to Algolia analytics for reporting and personalization models.

Why choose scandiweb to handle Salesforce integration for you?
How do you connect Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Algolia hosted search and discovery?
We map Salesforce Commerce Cloud catalog, category, and content feeds to Algolia indices, then configure indexing, ranking rules, and facets. The result is fast search results and filters that match how people browse.
What Salesforce Commerce Cloud data can Algolia index for instant onsite search?
Typically products, categories, attributes, availability, and price context, plus CMS content when needed. We also index synonym and facet logic so discovery stays consistent across markets.
Can Algolia support Salesforce Commerce Cloud facets, synonyms, and ranking rules across multiple sites?
Yes, Algolia supports separate indices per site or locale, with shared or market-specific synonyms, facets, and ranking rules. This keeps merchandising consistent without forcing one-size-fits-all search.
How do you implement Algolia personalization and merchandising in Salesforce Commerce Cloud?
We configure Algolia personalization inputs, tie them to SFCC events, and set up rules for promoted items, pins, and boosts. Merchandisers can then guide discovery without touching code.
How do you measure Algolia search performance in Salesforce Commerce Cloud with analytics?
We instrument search events and connect Algolia analytics with your reporting stack to track searches, zero-results queries, and conversion impact. This turns search behavior into a clear optimization backlog.
