Integrate Optimizely Customized Commerce
Describes the integration of Optimizely Search & Navigation with Optimizely Customized Commerce. The integration ensures that, after you implement search features, Search & Navigation treats Optimizely Customized Commerce catalog content like regular content.
Note
This integration requires Optimizely Customized Commerce version 8.8 or higher.
Integration packages
- EPiServer.Commerce.FindSearchProvider – Integration with Optimizely Commerce back-end parts using the Find (Search & Navigation) search provider.
- EPiServer.Find.Commerce – Optimizely Commerce integration based on the Find (Search & Navigation) API.
You can use EPiServer.Commerce.FindSearchProvider, EPiServer.Find.Commerce, or both. The Commerce.FindSearchProvider package uses Optimizely Search & Navigation (Find) as a search provider in Commerce Manager and the ECF search APIs. The Find.Commerce package uses Optimizely Search & Navigation to search catalog items via the Find API. See Configuring Optimizely Search & Navigation search provider in the Commerce developer guide.

The EPiServer.Commerce.FindSearchProvider provides the following functionality:
- Catalog items included in Unified Search results – Projections are configured for
