This guide will walk you through the integration process between Shoptrader and Spotler Activate Search (formerly Sooqr), covering the installation and configuration steps necessary to connect Spotler Activate Search to your Shoptrader webshop.
This step-by-step plan contains the following steps:
- Step 1 – Installing the Spotler Activate Search Add-on
- Step 2 – Configuring the Spotler Activate Search Add-on
- Step 3 – Linking Your Spotler Activate Search Account
- Step 4 – Preparing the XML Feed
Step 1 – Installing the Spotler Activate Search Add-on
To integrate Spotler Activate Search with Shoptrader, you need to install the Spotler Activate Search add-on. This will replace your standard search function with an optimized search engine, providing customers with product images and filtering options as they type in the search field. This feature enhances the user experience significantly.
After activation, you can find additional instructions in the manual located on the right side of the screen.
Step 2 – Configuring the Spotler Activate Search Add-on
Once the add-on is installed, you need to configure it to ensure it works correctly with your Shoptrader webshop. Go to the Shoptrader Backoffice and navigate to Add-ons Spotler Activate Search from the left-hand menu.
Here, you'll need to enter your Spotler Activate Search Account ID and click on Save. Be sure to input only the number, not the full format (e.g., enter "11111-1" instead of "SQ-11111-1").
Step 3 – Linking Your Spotler Activate Search Account
After entering your Spotler Activate Search Account ID, the integration will be active. However, to go live, Spotler Activate Search requires an XML feed URL. This feed must be prepared by the Spotler Activate Search support team.
Once you request the add-on, you will automatically receive a notification, and Spotler Activate Search will provide you with the necessary XML feed location, which you can then share with Spotler Activate Search.
Step 4 – Preparing the XML Feed
Spotler Activate Search requires the XML feed to be set up correctly to pull the right data from your Shoptrader webshop. Shoptrader's support team will prepare the XML feed and send you the URL. Once you have received it, make sure the feed is processed by Spotler Activate Search before going live.
