PrestaShop — essential steps

1. 1 · Download

   Go to your customer panel and open Integrations → PrestaShop Module. Click Download ZIP — we always give you the latest published version. Don't have an account yet? Sign up for free.

2. 2 · Upload and install

   In PrestaShop BO: Modules → Module Manager → Upload a module. Drag the ZIP and click Install.

3. 3 · Configure

   Click Configure on the Findalo module. Fill in:

   • Search URL: the slug you have in your findalo.io panel (visible as soon as you register).
   • Feed token: leave it empty to auto-generate a strong one. Copy it afterwards to your findalo.io panel.
   • Trigger selector: leave it as default (covers the Classic theme and the majority). Only change it if your theme uses custom selectors.
4. 4 · Activate

   Check "Load the search bundle on all pages" and save. Reload your storefront, click the theme's magnifying glass — the widget opens a full-screen modal and products appear instantly.

5. 5 · Verify the sync

   In findalo.io → your search engine → Catalog status: you should see your products indexed in under 5 minutes. If not, check that your PrestaShop is reachable from the internet (sync polls every 5 min at the endpoint /module/findalo/feed).

WooCommerce — essential steps

Standard WordPress plugin. ~10 minutes. Compatible with WPML, Polylang, WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache and Storefront / Hello Elementor / Astra / Blocksy themes. Live demo: woocommerce.findalo.io/shop.

1. 1 · Download the plugin

   Go to your panel → Integration → WooCommerce tab → Download ZIP. We always give you the latest published version. If you don't have an account yet, sign up for free.

2. 2 · Upload and install in WordPress

   In your WordPress admin: Plugins → Add new → Upload plugin. Drag the ZIP and click Install, then Activate.

3. 3 · Configure the plugin

   In the WooCommerce → Findalo menu. Fill in:

   • Your search URL: the slug you see in your findalo.io panel (you choose it at sign-up).
   • Feed token (Bearer): the one shown in the findalo panel — copy and paste it here. If it's empty, the plugin generates one and you copy it to the panel afterwards.
   • Trigger selector: leave it as default — covers the Gutenberg search block, classic search-field and the product search form.

   Save. The plugin injects the widget into wp_head automatically.

4. 4 · Force the first sync

   On the same plugin settings page, click "Mark as pending (force next rebuild)". Wait 5–10 seconds. The plugin builds the catalog JSON and posts it to findalo.io (async push — the page returns without waiting for the upload).

5. 5 · Verify

   In findalo.io → your search engine → Synchronisation: you should see products synced with sync_source: push. Open your storefront, click the magnifying glass — the findalo modal opens with your products. From now on any change in product, stock or price will be reflected in ≤10 min (stock throttle anti-spam).

6. 6 · Multi-language support (optional)

   If you use WPML or Polylang, the plugin detects them automatically and publishes each translated product under its locale (2-letter ISO). No extra configuration.

Shopify — essential steps

While the official app reaches the Shopify App Store, the connector works in Custom App mode. ~10 minutes end to end. Use the demo dev store (pass 1234) as a reference for how it looks.

1. 1 · Sign up for findalo

   Register at findalo.io (Free plan is enough to test). Note your slug — you'll need it in the last step.

2. 2 · Create a Custom App in Shopify

   In your Shopify Admin: Settings → Apps and sales channels → Develop apps → Create an app. Give it any name (e.g. "findalo-search").

3. 3 · Enable the scopes

   Inside the app: Configuration → Admin API integration → Configure. Check:

   • read_products
   • read_product_listings
   • read_collections
   • read_inventory

   Save at the bottom right.

4. 4 · Install the app and copy the token

   Click Install app at the top right. You'll land on API credentials: copy the Admin API access token (starts with shpat_ and is 38 characters long).

   ⚠ Shopify shows the token only once. If you make a mistake or close the tab, you'll need to rotate credentials and generate a new one.

5. 5 · Connect findalo in the panel

   In your findalo panel: Integration → Shopify tab. Paste:

   • Domain: your-store.myshopify.com
   • Admin API access token: the shpat_… from step 4

   Click Connect and sync. We validate credentials against Shopify and pull your catalog in seconds. You'll see "Connected to your-store.myshopify.com".

6. 6 · Paste the snippet into the theme

   In Shopify Admin: Online Store → Themes → ⋯ → Edit code → layout/theme.liquid. Just before </body>:

   <script src="https://widget.findalo.io/widget.js" data-tenant="YOUR_SLUG" defer></script>

   Replace YOUR_SLUG with the slug from step 1. Save. Reload your storefront and click the magnifying glass — the findalo widget opens the modal with your products.

7. 7 · Continuous automatic sync

   From here on: the findalo cron pulls every 5 min. You change prices, stock or products in Shopify → findalo re-indexes automatically in under 5 minutes. Zero infrastructure on your end. To force a manual sync: panel → Synchronisation → Sync now.

Magento — essential steps

   • Trigger selector: leave as default — covers Luma, Blank and Hyvä themes.

   Save and flush caches: bin/magento cache:flush.

5. 5 · Verify the sync

   In findalo.io → your search engine → Catalog status: you should see your products indexed in under 5 minutes. If you run multi-store or multi-website, each view is indexed separately and identified by its store_code. Reload your storefront, click the magnifying glass — the widget opens the modal with your products.

   Save. The plugin injects the widget into the Storefront automatically.

4. 4 · Verify the sync
