Understand Motive Commerce Search
Motive Commerce Search and shop builders communicate through plugins, which allow them to gather the necessary information, index it, and perform the necessary steps to display the most relevant results.
But what exactly is a plugin? It is a modular piece of code that extends the capabilities of an existing software application, in this case your shop builder, without altering its core structure. Think of it as an add-on that seamlessly integrates with the main system to provide additional features or functionalities.
Motive Commerce Search has developed plugins that serve as connectors between its search solution and various e-commerce service providers, including PrestaShop, WooCommerce, Shopify, and Magento. When a shopper interacts with the search element on an e-commerce website—such as the search bar or the magnifying glass icon—Motive Commerce Search springs into action.
By leveraging plugins to connect with shop builders, Motive Commerce Search ensures that highly relevant search results are provided. This seamless integration not only enhances the search experience for shoppers but also empowers shop owners to drive conversions and boost customer satisfaction.
Through the Motive Commerce Search plugin, the information retrieved from the shop builder is adapted to the Motive Commerce Search schema. In this way, your information is correctly mapped and both sides accept the same data format regardless of the structure of your feed.
