Magento features compatibility

Magento Inventory (MSI)

Algolia_AlgoliaSearchInventory is a community-maintained module available on GitHub. Algolia contributes to the repository but doesn’t provide a product roadmap for the module. Its releases don’t follow the Algolia/Magento integration release schedule.

The Algolia extension supports the Magento Inventory module. It’s also known as Multi-Source Inventory (MSI). For more information, see Inventory Management in the Magento developer docs. The MSI features include:

Different setups for merchants whose stock comes from one or more sources
Stock tracking through assigned sources
Concurrent checkout protection
Shipment matching algorithms

This lets you create several inventory sources and stocks. You can then manage product availability across your stores.

Compatibility

MSI changed how Magento determines whether a product is in stock. To support this behavior, Algolia provides an optional module, Algolia_AlgoliaSearchInventory. This module also keeps older Magento 2 integration versions working. You can download this module separately with Composer. Then use it alongside the Algolia extension. Use Algolia_AlgoliaSearchInventory with version 1.12 or later of the Algolia extension. To find which version to install, check the compatibility list on GitHub.

Requirements

You can use Algolia_AlgoliaSearchInventory if:

You’re using Magento version 2.3 or later
You’re using several sources or stocks to manage your inventory

If you don’t use MSI, the Algolia_AlgoliaSearchInventory module won’t break your indexing process. It may still slow it down. Only install the module if you’re using MSI.

Install the Algolia_AlgoliaSearchInventory module

Command line

composer require algolia/algoliasearch-inventory-magento-2
php bin/magento module:enable Algolia_AlgoliaSearchInventory
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy # in case you're on production mode

Now Magento handles your sources and stocks as expected. You can keep using the Algolia extension.

Backend search adapter

The Algolia_SearchAdapter module is an official companion module, available on GitHub. Algolia maintains it and aligns it with the Algolia/Magento integration product releases, starting with version 3.18.

The Algolia Search Adapter registers Algolia as a native Magento 2 search engine. It also provides server-side rendering for category pages and search results. When enabled, Magento’s standard product listing blocks query Algolia directly. This makes the content visible to search engine crawlers, LLM-based discovery tools, and clients that don’t run JavaScript.

Install the Algolia_SearchAdapter module

composer require algolia/algoliasearch-adapter-magento-2
php bin/magento module:enable Algolia_SearchAdapter
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento cache:flush
