Configuration

A source is a combination of:

• An Algolia index name (must be unique)
• A BigCommerce channel (sources are per channel - each store can have multiple channels)
• A set of BigCommerce product data with currencies

You already set up a source during installation. You can edit it and add or delete others.

After installing a BigCommerce source, you need to trigger a full reindex at least once to retrieve your products from BigCommerce. You should also reindex if you change, add, or delete a source.

To trigger a full reindex:

1. Select the Blue cloud icon for the source you want to reindex.

   

2. To check the progress and reindexing progress, see Monitor BigCommerce indexing.

1. Select the three dots icon on the source and select Edit Source.
2. Select Custom Fields.
3. Enter a comma-separated list of custom field names to index.

4. Trigger a full reindex to complete.

   

Metafields

To configure a source for metafields:

1. Select the three dots icon on the source and select Edit Source.
2. Select Metafields.
3. Enter a key and namespace for either a Product Metafield or Variant Metafield, or both.

4. Trigger a full reindex to complete.
