Before exploring the integration components, start with integration essentials. These outline key concepts, limitations, and best practices for a smooth integration.

Identifiers and keys — Fundamental principles for working with identifiers and keys.

Integration components

The integration consists of these components:

Configuration — Setting up Elevate markets and locales.
Catalog imports — Managing imports of catalog data such as products, content, and translations.
Category page imports — Importing and managing category listing pages for merchandising.
Navigation imports — Importing navigation structures for site organization.
Site integration — Querying Elevate and rendering results on the site.
Data priming order history — Historical sales data for initial relevance.

For detailed specifications of all supported endpoints, see the API section.

The catalog feed integration has changed significantly from Admin v3 to Admin v4. The Configuration and Catalog imports sections assume the use of Admin API v4, which is strongly recommended for new integrations.For existing integrations still using Admin v3, refer to the following resources:

XML format specification — Import format specification for Admin v3.
Multilingual markets — Multi-market setup requirements for Admin v3.
Upgrade guide — Steps to migrate from Admin v3 to Admin v4.
