Algolia

Connect your Algolia account and Cartly keeps a search index in sync with your catalog. Every time a product is created, updated, unpublished, or deleted — and when its collections, metafields, or inventory change — Cartly pushes the change to your Algolia index automatically. Ideal for merchants who already use Algolia to power search on a headless storefront, a custom front-end, or an external search UI.

This app keeps your Algolia index up to date. It does not replace your storefront's built-in search UI — you (or your front-end) query Algolia directly with your Search-only API key.

## Features

- Automatic product sync on catalog changes (create / update / unpublish / delete)

- Metafield, collection, and inventory changes re-index the affected products

- Facets, searchable attributes, and ranking configured for e-commerce out of the box

- Choose your index name (one index per store)

- One-click full reindex to populate or repair your index

## Setup

1. In the Algolia dashboard → Settings → API Keys, copy your Application ID and an Admin API Key (or a scoped key with addObject/deleteObject/settings/listIndexes).

2. In Cartly, open Settings → Integrations → Algolia, paste both, set your index name (default: cartly_products), and click Test Connection.

3. Run a full reindex to load your current catalog.

Note: large catalogs or long product descriptions can approach Algolia's free-plan 10KB/record and monthly operation limits — check your Algolia plan before reindexing a big catalog.
