Today, we’re thrilled to announce our Cartridge for Salesforce Commerce Cloud. Algolia and Salesforce customers now can easily adopt a unified headless architecture to create innovative product-based experiences on every channel — from websites and mobile applications to voice-enabled technology and kiosks — to drive more customer engagement and conversions.
“Algolia plays a key role in Ubisoft’s online experience. We’ve had great results using Algolia, which has been really easy to integrate with Salesforce Commerce Cloud and manage configurations across different countries. We plan on extending the usage of Algolia from 5 to all 17 online stores in 2020. We have noticed a 35% higher conversion rate from search for the latest store where we integrated Algolia.”
– David Leveau, E-commerce project manager at Ubisoft

Out of the box, here is what Algolia powers:
Rich product and categories autocomplete with typo tolerant search-as-you-type:

This native front-end integration comes with built-in click and conversion tracking, allowing for click and conversion analytics, A/B testing, personalization and more — all out of the box.

Leveraging our API clients, advanced front-end libraries and extensive documentation, Salesforce Commerce Cloud customers can power the product search and discovery on their online stores, but also companion apps for store associates, inventory browser for customer service representatives, in-store kiosks, and more.
